Reside Boston News Blog

A negotiation expert was only necessary when the “two sides” are relatively close in power. When one side is particularly powerful or one side particularly vulnerable, there is little point in negotiation.

It is my experience that when there is significant disparity in the power of the parties, negotiating skill is very significant. I have spent most of my adult life negotiating real estate transactions, and it is the negotiator who makes the difference — not the power of the parties. 

A good negotiator is not a steamroller; a good negotiator is a fine-tuned instrument who can evaluate needs and wants and match each participant’s needs to the available capital. The more powerful the opponent, the more delicate the touch required. The good negotiator works to find the goal of the opponent and uses that to the advantage of the client. You may not win the battle, but artful negotiation will win your client a better outcome.

We are truly an advantage in your real estate buying without question.

Please feel free to talk to us more about our negotiation skills available to you and how you can benefit from a top negotaitor.

Apple founder Steve Jobs

He is remembered in front of the Apple Store on Boylston Street Directly across from The Mandarin  Boston.  People lined the sidewalk to pay tribute to an icon. He will go down in history with the likes of Albert Einstein and Walt Disney. The Apple Boston Store is a wall of glass that lights up the block and its always busy. Apple products have changed the lives of so many people. They will continue to lead the world in innovation and technology for years to come.

Apple has also launched I5 this week. We will have to keep an eye on the stock prices but for now they are only down about 5 bucks on the first day of trading after the announcement of Steve Jobs passing.

Robert A.M. Stern became famous for his signature modern-traditionalist style.  Stern was a pioneer in the post-modern movement.  An architectural style and attitude which brought the warmth and charm of traditional architecture to modern construction technology.

Stern was the perfect choice to design Back Bay’s first luxury residential tower.  The Clarendon sits on a previously underdeveloped parking lot diagonally across from The Prudential Tower.  Stern uses the massing of the building and uses Back Bay’s traditional brick to stitch together the neighborhood.  The magnitude of this 32-story tower is mitigated by Stern’s careful attention to scale, proportion and material.  The massing of the building was also studied to help alleviate the wind tunnel effect from the neighboring Prudential.   The ground floor houses a popular bar and a post office which helps to extend the neighborhood and nightlife of Back Bay.

The Clarendon is also one of very few ‘green’ residential towers in the nation.  Deciding to go green can add significantly to the construction cost but the trade-off is a safer, better quality, longer lasting and more comfortable building.  Building a green building means not only using recycled materials and using energy efficient appliances but also following stricter health and air-quality standards.

The building has both condominiums and rentals units available at One Back Bay. They are appointed finest finishes and appliances and boast luxurious amenities.  There are many different floor plans to fit a variety of lifestyles.  The location and height of the building grant it some of the best views of Boston and provide ample natural light. A world famous architect, prime location and green construction insure The Clarendon will remain one of Boston’s most desired addresses for decades to come.
