About
Real estate
As a trusted resource for local real estate expertise, I like to consider myself as your positive, helpful partner in buying or selling a home or investment property. As a native of Acton, I have a heart for Massachusetts and personal knowledge of the area. After graduating from the top-rated Acton-Boxborough Regional High School, I didn’t travel far to seek my higher education. I received my Bachelor of Science degree from Tufts University’s School of Engineering, and later my MBA from Harvard Business School.
I began my real estate career in 1990, and achieved success helping Pension Fund clients invest and manage commercial properties – office buildings, shopping centers, apartment complexes and industrial warehouse space. After 25 years in commercial real estate, I decided to pursue my true passion for working with people experiencing transition in their lives, and therefore where they live. Now a Realtor in residential real estate, and principal of Sutherland Realty Group, I specialize in the buying and selling of single family, multi-family, and condominium properties as personal residences and investments. Having purchased and sold a number of homes during my life’s journey, I understand the unique set of emotions associated with selling a current home and buying a new one.
As a transition specialist, I take the front seat in this often chaotic and paper laden process, from the moment my client decides to move, through settling into a new place. I take pride in guiding my clients through the complexities of buying and selling a home by providing innovative marketing strategies, strong negotiation skills, hyper-targeted searches, and support through the closing and beyond. The housing market is not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust to provide up-to-date information.
With designations such as SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist), and ASP (Accredited Staging Professional), membership on multiple real estate boards, serving community organizations, combined with a personal knowledge of Acton and the surrounding towns, I do my very best to present the perfect combination of industry and area knowledge to seamlessly guide you to the community and home that meets the needs and wants of the next phase in your life’s journey.
