Meet Hans Nagrath
It’s always my goal to build a
foundation of trust, honesty,
and commitment. From there,
there’s no limit to what we
can accomplish.”
“
I’m passionate about delivering a transparent
and stress-free real estate experience built on
trust and expertise. My mission is to redefine
how clients view real estate agents by
providing personalized tools, guidance, and
support tailored to their unique needs.
As a Back Bay resident, I specialize in Boston
Proper, including Back Bay, South End,
Beacon Hill, and Charlestown, as well as the
Greater Boston area, covering Cambridge,
Somerville, Brookline, and beyond. With a
background in construction and extensive
experience as a licensed general contractor,
I bring deep insight into homes of all kinds—
from historic renovations to cutting-edge
modern builds.
My experience as an investor and landlord
allows me to guide clients through every
aspect of their real estate journey with
confidence and clarity. Before real estate,
I honed my skills working at the State
House and the Department of Labor, which
taught me the importance of diligence,
communication, and advocacy.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find
me running along the Charles River or walking
my dog, Benny, around the neighborhood.

The Home Buying Process
Prepare for Purchase
First, we will
connect for an initial
consultation to discuss
what you are looking
for in your next home
so I can help guide
your search.
Buyer
Consultation
Buyer
Paperwork
We’ll create a business
agreement outlining
my obligations, terms,
compensation, etc.
Once agreed, you’ll
sign before I can share
any properties.
Pre
Approval
Pre-approval from
a lender is required
before submitting an
offer and provides
details on the down
payment, closing costs,
and monthly payment.
Using the Compass
CMA tool, I’ll analyze
comparables to assess
value. We’ll define your
ideal home’s location,
attend open houses,
and set up a custom
search to find your
dream home.

The
Offer
The offer to purchase
is the first step. We’ll
create a competitive
offer aligned with
your goals. The seller
may accept, reject,
or counter, and I’ll
negotiate to position
your offer for success.
Sign Offer &
Send Deposit
Your offer is the
agreement to purchase
at price, including offer
price, closing date,
deposit ($5,000), and
contingencies. Once
signed, it’s binding, and
your deposit shows
commitment.
From Start to Finish
Contract to Close
The inspection
contingency allows you
to check for issues and
negotiate repairs, price
adjustments, or back
out if needed, ensuring
you understand the
property’s condition.

Loan
Commitment
Your Lender requests
bank statements,
tax records, and pay
stubs. A mortgage
contingency ensures
approval. After review,
the lender issues
Clear-to-Close and
arranges the appraisal.
The P&S outlines terms
like price, deposit,
contingencies, closing
date, responsibilities,
and dispute resolution
and defaults. The 2nd
deposit (usually 5%) is
due at this time.
Set up your electricity,
gas, water, internet,
etc. a week before
closing. Inform
providers of your
closing date to
activate services and
avoid delays.

Utilities
Final
Walkthrough
Prior to closing,
we’ll schedule a final
walk-through to verify
the property is still
in acceptable
condition and repairs
were completed.
Closing
Closing takes place
at an attorney’s or
title company’s office.
You’ll sign documents,
pay remaining costs,
and once the deed
is recorded, you will
receive keys!

He’s someone who genuinely cares about helping you achieve your real estate
goals. His sharp instincts, vast network, and unwavering commitment set him
apart from anyone else in the industry. He’s the kind of person who makes the

Hans guided my wife and I through
our first home finding journey.
He was a pleasure to work with, was always readily available, made the process
seamless, and was integral in negotiation efforts. He has deep local knowledge and
connections, and also a very strong eye for interior design that helped us to envision
every space we visited with him. Additionally, he’s one of the strongest character and
integrity people we have ever met, he does right by his clients.
- Tony Z.
Hans did an excellent job helping us
with both selling and buying our condos.
His expertise in the market and local area was instrumental in determining
a competitive selling price for our older condo and a very good location
for our new condo. Hans guided us in all the aspects of selling.
He was very friendly and responsive to our questions.
Success Stories
At 50 Commonwealth, I managed the renovation of the kitchen, which
resulted in $200K in instant equity for the clients.
At 89 Mason Terrace, I oversaw a full bathroom renovation, easing the buyer’s
concerns and allowing them to confidently move forward with the purchase.

AFTER
A first-time homebuying couple found themselves in a competitive bidding war,
but hesitated due to concerns about renovating the bathroom and kitchen.
They were wary of contractor issues and didn’t have trusted contacts. To ease their
worries, I offered to manage the entire renovation process. Within four months,
we completed a dream bathroom, a new kitchen, and even added a washer/dryer.
The couple was thrilled with the results and excited about their new home.
After a year of searching with no success, a couple was struggling to find the
perfect condo on Commonwealth Avenue in Back Bay—a highly specific property
with an elevator, garage parking, and all on one floor. Concerns about managing
renovations remotely nearly caused the deal to fall through. But leveraging my newly
acquired GC license, I was able to personally oversee the renovation.
Let’s Work Together
Hans Nagrath

for their perfect home, providing guidance and advice
through every step of the process to make it seamless

your lifestyle - so that you can confidently make your
dream home yours when you find it.
