Carmela Laurella, President of CL Waterfront Properties recently assisted a Boston Waterfront property owner with the sale of her home after she and her husband were dissatisfied with the original agency they signed with.  CL Waterfront was pleased to have received the following testimonial about our service:

“Carmela recently helped us sell our beautiful waterfront property in Boston.  We first signed up with another agency, but no serious offers, so after three months, we signed with Carmela.  What a difference!

She immediately found a lovely couple who wanted to buy the unit but needed to sell their home in CA.  Since it was the worst part of the recession and winter was beginning in Boston, we agreed thinking a sale was not likely for the condo.

When they were not able to buy it, Carmela put it back on the market and it sold within 2 weeks at 98% of the asking price.  She was able to generate numerous showings.  I think she is the ultimate professional.  I could not offer a higher recommendation for Carmela at CL Waterfront Properties.  She is the best.”

Happy couple in love in their new home

Finding Love is Like Find the Perfect Home

You may not realize it, but finding the perfect Boston luxury home is actually a lot like find the perfect mate!

Finding true love and finding a home you will truly love, both start with you looking for something that will be in your future.  Like dating, when you search for a new home, you go searching for something attractive, comfortable, and even sexy.  There are certain criteria or conditions to be met like size/heart, how many rooms/weight, date built/age, updated appliances/nip-tuck, missing shingles/hair loss, etc.

Each home has its upside and downside just like each date.  Is it a warm place/does he have heart?  Are there too many stairs/is she understanding?  Can I hear the neighbors through the walls/is he listening to me?

So you keep searching and dating, then finally, you find it!  The perfect Boston home and the perfect person.

If you need help find a Back Bay condo or Beacon Hill condo, or want to tour luxury homes for sale on Boston’s Waterfront or North End, contact CL Waterfront Properties LLC.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
