Welcome!

My name is John A Keith. I am a real estate broker in Boston. Along with my team of agents, I help buyers and sellers of homes throughout Boston, including the South End, Back Bay, and Beacon Hill neighborhoods.

There is a lot of useful information on my site, starting with the blog entries in the middle column. I update my site three or four times a day, so check back often.

On my site, you can search through all of the listings in the local Multiple Listing Service (MLSPIN) . If you wish to receive daily emails of new listings as they come on the market, sign-up today.

You can review news by topic, by clicking on any one of the "tags" or "categories". You can also review news in the archive, sorted by month. See details in the right-hand column.

If you are thinking of moving to Boston and want to learn more about each neighborhood and search through listings by neighborhood, choose a neighborhood from the table of contents, in the right-hand column.

Also, you can click through on links for more information of value to buyers and sellers.

If you click on the "new projects" link you can learn about all the new developments under construction and recently completed, throughout the city of Boston.

Please contact me for more information or to learn about how I can assist you as a buyer's agent or with selling your home.

If you would like to learn more about me, please read these articles and columns. (Sometimes, I even smile.)

3/1/2008-3/2/2008: Boston weekend open house tips

I thought people might find it helpful if I picked out a couple open houses you might be interested in seeing, this weekend.

As always, I’m available for more information or to discuss my services as your buyer’s agent.

——————————————

First, a one-bedroom home in the South End.

528 tremont stFrom MLS:

Great one bedroom condo right across from the Boston Center for the Arts! This floor through condo has an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliance and granite kitchen. Laundry in the unit.The living room features hardwood floors and a fireplace.

This is a one-bedroom, 603+/- square foot condominium at 528 Tremont Street.

I think it would be the perfect home for a very, very quiet person, one with no pets who doesn’t smoke.

There is an open house on Sunday, from 12:00 - 1:30 PM.

MLS #70717800, $429,000

Jamie Curtis of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage has the listing.

Next up, a two bedroom home, also in the South End.

Finally, my choice for “new development” of the week.

The Schoolhouse at Lower Mills

I’ve been talking non-stop about this project since seeing it in person, a couple weeks ago. I truly think it’s the right product, at the right price, in the right location.

That location being the Lower Mills section of Dorchester.
