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.)

Auction scheduled for Saturday, March 29 at Hynes Auditorium

There will be another round of auctions, this Saturday, held at the Hynes Auditorium, in Boston’s Back Bay.

According to Banker & Tradesman, more than 160 foreclosed homes, condo and multifamily properties are scheduled to be auctioned.

This month’s auction includes 19 properties in Brockton, 10 in Lawrence, 10 in Worcester, seven in Lowell and seven in Springfield.

Meanwhile, the Boston Globe is reporting that several buyers of properties at November’s auction, also held by Real Estate Disposition Corp, have been unable to close, for several reasons, including unclear titles and banks taking back the properties before the winning bidders could close.

Definitely a case of “Buyers Beware”, my friends.

UPDATE: State is examining the November auction to make sure all rules and regulations were followed, according to a Boston Globe article out today.

    MOST Definitely a case of “Buyers Beware”… a quarter of the winning bidders haven’t been able to close through no fault of their own.
