Questions about these services

How are real estate agents paid in Massachusetts?

Does Nicole Vermillion work with both buyers and sellers?

Most agents and brokerages represent both, but not in the same transaction without written consent. Ask how Nicole Vermillion handles dual agency or designated agency under Massachusetts law.

What should I prepare before the first meeting?
