Home Ownership

Thanksgiving always makes us notice what we’re grateful for. As real estate agents, we think a lot about what home means to us and to our clients, whether it’s a triple-decker investment, a luxury apartment downtown, a 500 square foot condo, or a Colonial in the suburbs.

Happy International Women’s Day! Today, we celebrate the contributions of women all over the world. But because we’re Liz & Ellie Local, we are highlighting the incredible life of Cambridge’s first Black school principal, Maria Baldwin. Our very own Liz Lyster sits on the Cambridge Historical Commission, and she shared with us that Maria Baldwin’s home on 194-196 Prospect Street was approved as Cambridge’s 43rd designated landmark during their recent meeting. This means that the publicly-visible exterior of the home is protected from alterations, and the home will be preserved as an important part of Cambridge’s history. It also means that people need to know what Maria Baldwin accomplished that drove this landmark designation. Her story does not disappoint.
With their complementary communication styles, responsiveness, competence, and ability to truly listen, Ellie and Liz enable their clients to feel at ease throughout any real estate transaction. They would welcome the opportunity to be your next real estate advisors.
