PROPOSED MARKETING PLAN 191 Commonwealth Avenue, Unit 22 Back Bay, Boston | MA Prepared by: Lois Kunian Je3 Simonian
ABOUT LOIS Her service Lois Kunian has 26 years of experience in Boston real estate and has had tremendous success in representing hundreds of buyers and sellers. This year, one of her most notable sales was a gorgeous $3.5 million, turn of the century home in Newton with nearly 5000 square feet of living space and a separate gardener's cottage, situated on nearly 1.3 acres. She also sold a 3200 square foot condominium high above the Charles River in Boston for $3 million dollars. As a successful Back Bay broker, Mrs. Kunian understands the value of a sophisticated international brand in the luxury market. "Sotheby's o3ers global exposure and a brand legacy that has taken 260 years to build - that is a perfect Ut for me and my clientele." Mrs. Kunian thinks many of the people who know her will be quite surprised that she has joined a larger Urm. "I have operated a boutique agency on Marlborough Street for 26 years; and independence is very important to me. However, after meeting with Larry Rideout, I could see that Sotheby's fosters that independent mindset in their agents. And they provide the support that we need to be able to build our business."
