Featured Affiliate  – Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty

Part of the power of the Sotheby’s International Realty brand is our global network. This means we are constantly working with affiliate offices around the world to market and sell the world’s most distinctive properties. This past month, Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty and Summit Sotheby’s International Realty shared the following listings on each other’s social media accounts.

About Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty

Larry Rideout and his business partner, Paul McGann bought an existing 40 year old real estate company in the fall of 2006 and affiliated it with the Sotheby’s International Realty brand and named it Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty.

“We were off to a really strong start. But, things started to change in the market.” Within a year, the banking and mortgage crisis began and real estate companies were hit particularly hard. “I didn’t want what happened to my grandfather’s company to happen to ours. Our employees and agents are our family. We had to find a way to get through it,” said Larry. While other real estate companies closed their doors, Larry and Paul kept theirs open. “We hunkered down and relied on each other. Our people are the heart and soul of this company and each one of them helped us get through the recession. We believed in our company and in our agents. We used our creativity and technology to enhance what we were doing instead of cutting back. It became a critical part of our success.”

In the eleven years since they bought Gibson, Larry and Paul have more than quadrupled its sales volume and market share. “We went from being well below #20 in the state to #3, and our productivity is off the charts!” Today, Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty has 8 offices in the Greater Boston area. They achieved more than $1 billion in sales volume consecutively the last few years and of the top five firms in Massachusetts, Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty was the only firm to gain market share in 2016.

Whether you are looking at home or abroad, Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty is the finest choice for buying, selling or renting a home in the Boston area. With numerous accreditations and languages spoken, we invite you to contact any one of their highly skilled agents to show you the Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty difference.

Intercap Lending Mortgage Update

Economic experts have begun weighing in on expected trends in 2018 for the housing market. Knowing and preparing for these changes can help you weather any storms that may come. Here are some of the predictions for 2018. Home purchases will rise while refinancing will drop due to rise in interests rate. Economists predict mortgage interest rates on 30-year fixed-rate loans will rise to 4.6% in 2018, and to more than 5% in 2019. Low inventory across the country will continue to remain a challenge for homebuyers in 2018. If you are considering buying a property and are on the fence, these predictions should create a sense of urgency, as your purchasing power will only decrease. Buying now could be your best choice before you potentially get priced out of the market. Contact us or your local Summit Sotheby’s International Realty sales associate for more information.
