About

Founder and leader of The May Group, Lisa has built her career around commitment and care. Since getting her start two decades ago as a protégé of legendary Cambridge realtor Lindsay Allison, Lisa has risen to become one of the city’s top agents. Along the way she has earned a reputation for both her abilities and her compassion, offering a deeply personal, people-focused approach to her residential real estate clients. “I see myself not only as your expert advisor and exclusive agent,” Lisa says, “but as your partner and friend.” Lisa provides the critical analysis and services required to prepare your home for sale and position it strategically in the market, or to help you find and purchase the right property at the right price. She ensures that your transaction moves smoothly through all its many phases, with every “t” crossed and “i” dotted. But even more important, she’ll be there for you throughout, helping you through the difficult parts and celebrating the good times, from the first conversation until the deal is finally done. Lisa lives in Belmont and on the coast of Maine with her husband Tevere, a retired museum exhibition designer, and her beloved tabby cats Amos and Annabelle. She is the proud mom of two wonderful young men, Christopher and Sam, and an avid gardener. Clients and colleagues have learned to expect surprise bouquets of some of the fifty or so varieties of dahlias she grows every summer.
