Sourcing Deals Off Market
Our philosophy has always been to bring buyers and sellers together in any capacity that can be of mutual benefit. Due to our position in the Needham community as local residents and our affiliation with Hawthorn Builders, we are uniquely tapped into an inventory of homes that do not reach Trulia, Zillow or any other real estate brokerage companies. Buyers have access to these leads, which gives them a leg up in searching for the right property. This can take the form of a direct deal (off MLS) of an existing home, or a tear down acquisition that leads to the development of a new home. Sellers also benefit because they achieve a fair market value outcome for their home without the hassles that come with putting a home on the market.
Brokerage with a Builder
Our clients and agents have access to Hawthorn Builders, our design-build firm (the principal brokers at Hawthorn Properties all hold construction supervisor licenses). Buyers utilize this affiliation to navigate the potential for the development of a new home, a renovation of an existing house or even post-purchase punch list items. Regardless of the size of the project, Hawthorn Builders executes the construction plan after the real estate transaction is finalized. Sellers enjoy expert advice and guidance in completing any necessary repairs before listing a residence. Hawthorn’s agents also increase the marketability of a home by helping potential buyers at showings understand the feasibility of a renovation and give them the canvas to visualize their family in the home.
