Sandy Beach and Black Rock "Rocky” Beach are our little slices of heaven, but while both are beaches… They both have very different personalities!

Our Beaches

Black Rock Beach is located at the intersection of Forest Avenue and Jerusalem Road. While Rocky, Black Rock Beach is a fun beach to sit back and relax on as well as explore.

When the time comes to sell your home in Cohasset or any of the surrounding cities of Greater Boston, many sellers start contemplating how they can get the maximum price for their property. Whether it’s a buyer or seller's market, a homeowner might start considering trying to sell their property without using a real estate agent to save on commission but, before you put that FSBO sign in your yard, check out these reasons why it might be in your best interest to have a Boston Realtor at your side if you want to get the highest possible price for your home.

Bringing in Buyers from Greater Boston and Beyond

Imagine trying to reach buyers in Boston and all the surrounding cities of Greater Boston. If you thought it was expensive to pay a realtor a commission to sell your house, wait until you discover the price to list your home with pictures in any of those real estate publications on your own. Consider your house doesn't sell for months or years, you could be spending several thousand dollars just in advertising, and there is no guarantee someone will make an offer. When working with a Boston real estate agent, they are going to take care of getting the word out about your home for you.

Now only will your home be listed in local and regional real estate magazines and classified ads, your realtor has inroads to other realtors in the area who have clients interested in buying a home like yours. The price of those connections alone is well worth the commission any realtor secures for their hard work.

Staging Your Home to Sell

Living in the Boston area means that your home is highly desirable when it comes time to sell, but this region tends to stay a buyer's market longer because all the homes are in demand year round.
