About Ayme

I’ve moved enough times to know that a move is rarely just about changing houses.

I’ve moved for different stages of life, lived in homes large and small, rented and owned, built from the ground up and restored what was already there. I’ve lived in a classic Wellesley colonial, a century-old cottage in the center of Dover, built a stone-and-shingle home after clearing the land, restored a landmark Royal Barry Wills property and started over more than once.

Each home taught me something different - not only about houses, but about how our needs change and how deeply where we live can shape the way we live.

How I Work

That experience influences the way I approach real estate today.

Before we talk about a particular house or a selling strategy, I want to understand what you’re trying to accomplish. Sometimes that answer is very clear. Other times, part of my job is helping you figure it out.

With buyers, I look beyond finishes and first impressions. I want you to understand the setting, layout, condition, value, possibilities and limitations of a property. I’ll help you think through the tradeoffs, recognize potential and tell you when I see something that gives me pause. I’m not there to convince you to love a house. I’m there to help you decide whether it is the right one for you.

With sellers, I bring that same perspective to the other side of the equation. I think carefully about how a home will be experienced by a buyer; how it is prepared, presented, positioned and introduced to the market. The details matter because perception influences value.

Experience that Shapes My Perspective

Before real estate, I spent more than a decade in product management, where I learned to analyze information, solve problems, manage complicated projects and bring many moving pieces together. Those skills translate remarkably well to real estate.

My years in the industry have added another layer: market knowledge, transaction experience and an extensive network of agents, attorneys, inspectors, contractors, designers and other professionals I can call upon when my clients need them.

And my own experience with building and restoring homes means I’m comfortable looking beyond what a property is today and thinking about what it might become.

I specialize in Dover and Wellesley and work with clients throughout Boston’s MetroWest communities. I’ve called Dover home since 2002 and lived in Wellesley before that. I know these towns professionally, but I also know what it means to live here.

A Little More About Me

I’m naturally curious and probably always will be. I love good design, old houses, gardens and the process of imagining how something might be better. I’m happiest outside walking, hiking, gardening or simply being somewhere beautiful and I’m endlessly drawn to the small things that give a place character.

I also love a good puzzle, family games and discovering an idea, place or person worth sharing. I suppose I’m a collector of possibilities, which may explain why I still find houses, and the people who live in them, so interesting.

What I Hope You Feel Working with Me

Expertise is only valuable when it’s applied to the individual sitting across from me.

I will listen carefully, communicate clearly and give you my opinion when I believe it will help you make a better decision. My goal isn’t simply to get you through a transaction. It’s to make sure you understand your options, feel well cared for throughout the process and are confident in the decision you ultimately make.

Because the right real estate decision isn’t always obvious.

Sometimes you need someone who knows the market. Sometimes you need someone who understands houses. And sometimes you simply need someone who will take the time to understand what you’re really trying to accomplish.

My role is to bring all three together.
