Thanks for visiting us at East Group Boston. Over the past few years, our team has seen a lot of changes in the real estate market. We have created great memories working with some of our favorite clients, and along the way and gathered a lot of wisdom. In today’s world, knowledge is wealth! So we have created this blog to introduce you to our licensed partners, help you gain useful knowledge about buying or selling a home, and offer professional advice for working in the Boston real estate market.
Recently we sat down with our office founders Ali Choucri and Raz Panossian to ask them a few questions about how they got into real estate, and what advice he has for young investors!

1.) Ali, what do you love the most about working in real estate?
What I love most about working in real estate is how hands-on I can be with deals. When selling a property, whether it’s a single-family home or apartment building, I get to interact with the buyers and sellers, walk through the asset, control the marketing and presentation, and impact its market value. Having worked in finance before, I worked on deals where I was very removed from the asset itself. In real estate, the asset is tangible. I like to think of real estate deals as mini investment banking deals – they happen quicker and are a lot easier to analyze and sell.
