Real Estate Photographers Reveal the One Listing Photo That Can Make - or Break - a Sale

"Where do all eyes go first when perusing a real estate listing? The photos, of course.

Home sellers should never underestimate the importance of investing in a professional real estate photographer to get the very best pictures possible of their place. Because no matter how good an eye you have, homeowners tend to be blind to how their own home comes across on camera—and, as a result, might have listing photos that don’t show their home in the best light."

It's Officially Porchfest Season in Boston and Beyond

The days are getting longer and the weather’s getting warmer, which means it’s officially porchfest season. The first porchfest was held in Ithaca, New York in 2007, and the concept has since expanded to porches in cities and towns across the country, bringing amateur musicians together for an afternoon of free, live music from neighborhood porches and front yards. This year, Somerville Porchfest kicked off a season of fests across the city and beyond on May 13. Find the full list here.

Lifestyle Tips and Tricks

Should You Buy a New Construction Home?

"As you search for a new home, you might find yourself categorizing your options into new and old builds. While older homes might offer the kind of layout, price point, and durability you’re looking for, they also come with their own problems. A new build, on the other hand, offers a buyer a clean slate."
