If you're selling a home in Jamaica Plain or Roslindale, the most important question you can ask a prospective listing agent isn't how many homes they've sold. It's this: how do their sellers actually make out?
Do homes sell above asking? How quickly does the market respond? And how do those results compare to every other agent working these same streets, these same neighborhoods, these same buyers?
We've tracked that data — publicly available MLS records — for every qualified listing agent in Jamaica Plain and Roslindale every year since 2016. The results are consistent enough that we feel comfortable saying it plainly: no other listing agent or team in these two neighborhoods has performed at this level, this consistently, over this period of time.
The Headline Numbers
with 40+ transactions
2016–2025
in sale price performance

every single year
and DTO in 2025
Source: Greater Boston MLS. Annual rankings include agents with 5+ qualified listing transactions in JP/Roslindale. Combined 2016–2025 ranking requires 40+ transactions.

Better Than the Neighborhood. Better Than the Market.
Most listing agents get measured against the broad Greater Boston market. We think the more meaningful comparison is your own neighborhood — the agents who know the same streets, the same buyers, the same dynamics you do. Here's how we stack up on both.
| Metric | The Boston Home Team | JP + Roslindale Avg | Greater Boston Avg |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avg. Sale-to-List Ratio | 107.97% | ~103.9% | 102.2% |
| Avg. Days to Offer | 9.7 days | ~18.4 days | 24.0 days |
| Advantage vs. JP/Roslindale avg | +4.1 pts · 1.9× faster | — | — |
| Advantage vs. Greater Boston avg | +5.8 pts · 2.5× faster | — | — |
JP + Roslindale average calculated from all qualified agents (5+ transactions) in the market area per year, 2016–2025. Greater Boston average based on 57,415 transactions across the metro area, 2016–2025.
The Metrics That Actually Measure a Listing Agent
Sale price to list price ratio tells you how much above — or below — asking price a home actually sells for. Days to offer tells you how quickly the right buyers find the listing. Together, they tell you whether an agent's pricing strategy, preparation, marketing, and negotiation are delivering real results for real sellers in these specific neighborhoods.
Jamaica Plain and Roslindale are not generic markets. They have distinct buyer pools, micro-neighborhood dynamics, pricing psychology, and seasonal rhythms that only come from years of working them. Getting results here — consistently, year after year — requires that depth of knowledge. The data shows it.

Source: Greater Boston MLS, 2016–2025. SP/LP = sale price to list price ratio. DTO = days to offer. Combined ranking requires 40+ qualified listing transactions in Jamaica Plain and Roslindale during the period.
Ranked #1 in the combined 2016–2025 list. Top 3 in 9 out of 10 individual years. Top 10 in every single year since 2016. No other agent or team in Jamaica Plain and Roslindale has that record.
The Numbers Are One Thing. The Experience Is Another.
BJ presented a thorough analysis of the market, gave expert advice on physical improvements to make, and marketed the listing successfully. The house sold within one week at a price 10% higher than we thought we would receive — all during a recession.
After interviewing other JP realtors, I chose BJ because of his depth of understanding of the market and sophisticated reasoning around timing, pricing, and bidding. The listing process was smooth. BJ was right on with his pricing — I accepted a final offer a few percentage points above listing price.
BJ sold our house in JP in two days with multiple offers. They handled everything seamlessly — showings, analyzing offers, hooking me up with a closing attorney, even coordinating inspectors while I was out of town. Complete confidence in this team. Five stars.
From staging advice to marketing materials to working through the selling process, every step exceeded expectations. It was impressive how quickly and efficiently this group handled everything — we are truly grateful.
