3 agents. One amazing team and a whole lot of stories behind what we’ve built together. 

Every one of these numbers is someone who needed to get somewhere.

A first place. A bigger place. A fresh start after something hard. A home that finally felt like theirs. An investment that changed what was possible for their family.

When you look at 282 closed sales and more than $128 million in volume, it’s easy to see the numbers.

But after more than 20 years in real estate, that’s not really what we see.

We see the 107 sellers who trusted us with one of their biggest assets.

We see the 175 buyers who got the keys.

We see first-time buyers who came to us convinced they couldn’t afford to buy a home. Sellers who had lived in the same house for decades and had no idea where to begin. Families who needed more room, people who needed less, and clients going through major life changes who just needed someone to help them figure out the next step.

And we see the 17 affordable homeownership opportunities we helped bring to families in Everett, Chelsea, and Malden.

That work is especially important to us because homeownership shouldn’t feel like something reserved for other people.

Three agents. One independent, woman-owned real estate brokerage based right here in Salem, Massachusetts.

And so far, we’ve had the privilege of helping people buy and sell homes in 43 communities throughout Salem, the North Shore and Greater Boston.

We’re proud of what Nina-Soto Realty has built, but we’re even more proud of how we’ve built it.

One client at a time. One family at a time. One move at a time.

Because real estate has never just been about houses for us. It’s about helping people get where they’re trying to go.

So now we want to know…

It’s an exciting day for everyone, but for very different reasons.

The buyers are excited because this is about to be their home.

For my sellers, today is definitely a little more bittersweet. After more than 30 years, they’re getting ready to say goodbye to a home where they’ve created so many memories, while also getting ready for what comes next for them.

And as agents, these are the days we work for. There’s a lot that happens between an accepted offer and a final walkthrough, and it feels really good to get here and know that we delivered for our clients.

I also have to give a special shoutout to the buyers’ agent, Keith Garafola. Keith was amazing to work with throughout this entire transaction. He was responsive, professional, easy to communicate with, and we worked really well together to keep everything moving forward. Keith, I’m looking forward to doing another one with you real soon!

Tomorrow we close.

The Castle on the Hill will have new owners, my sellers will officially close out a 30+ year chapter, and everyone gets to move forward with what’s next.

Believe it or not Instagram is not exclusive to your state so when giving us the address it would be helpful if you included your state
I agree. I mentioned it in the video and also in the caption. What time today or tomorrow do you want to see it?
@ninasotorealty I didn't hear it or see it so maybe mention it upfront
Mmm it’s a 28 second video and the address came in at 12 seconds. It’s in the video caption and also in the description. I’m not a fan of opening a video with an address because it feels very salesly. My intent was to show a great feature. But hey I truly appreciate you taking the time to see the video and more importantly taking the time to comment on. Thank you very much for your support and your words. 🥰
And it is in North Salem!😊

@ali_211_cia if I have to teach you about MySpace you have no business being on MySpace. 🤣
NO SPACE! WHO has time for yet another platform?!?
@somethinginbetweenpodcast ummmm only the cool kids were on MySpace 😂
I had MySpace lol! I remember one of the last messages I sent through the platform 😂
@genesisgonzalezrealtor staph it you were like 5 years old when it was no longer popular…..
This is a serious dilemma….
