Selami of The Law Offices of Sonja B Selami, PC, and Dan Walsh of William Raveis Real Estate.
Panelists discussed how to find the best deals in Boston’s red-hot real estate market, from saving money while renovating fixer-uppers to putting your best foot forward in bidding wars. Throughout the evening guests networked with local tastemakers and enjoyed delicious hors d’oeuvres from La Bonne Maison Catering and wine from Barton & Guestier. Entertainment Specialists provided partygoers with a delightful jazz duo, while special prizes were awarded to a few lucky winners, including an iPad from William Raveis Real Estate and free workspace from The Yard: Back Bay. Everybody departed with an exclusive gift from Jarvis Appliance Inc.
