02 — Approach
I don't sell houses.
I help people recognize the one that already feels like home.
Mara Alden
Broker · Founder, Alder
Fourteen years walking buyers through doorways in Essex County. I've learned the tell: people go quiet in the right house. My work is getting you to that silence — and negotiating hard once you've heard it.
Most of my business arrives the old way: someone I helped tells someone they love.
