Home Hazards
Asbestos - Asbestos.com provides a Guide to Asbestos in The Home ... it outlines common asbestos locations, related heath concerns and how to deal with asbestos when it's found. Tips on how to hire an asbestos remover can also be found at asbestos.com.
Lead Paint - Slowly phased out in the 1960s and 1970s, lead paint was ultimately outlawed in residential use in 1978. Consequently, all homes older than 1978 are suspect; however, there are many ways to mitigate lead paint and costs can vary. In recent years, the government has eased mitigation requirements to encourage lead compliance. The below sites provide additional information about lead paint safety ... you can even search property to see if it's been tested for lead paint.

372 Silver St is a rare find — a renovated colonial on a quiet street in the heart of South Boston that blends authentic 1890 charm with polished modern updates. If you've been looking for a home with character, space, and one of the best locations in the city, this one deserves your attention.
The moment you step through the front door, a full exposed Bostonian brick wall frames the foyer and stairway. It's not decorative — it's the real thing, and it immediately sets this home apart from anything else on the market. This is the kind of detail that gives a home soul.
The kitchen features gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, and granite countertops — all complemented by hardwood floors and crown molding. It's a space that balances everyday functionality with the character of the rest of the home.
At 16x13, the primary bedroom is generous for South Boston. It includes a walk-in closet and is positioned on the second floor alongside two additional bedrooms. Second-floor skylights flood the hallway with natural light.
The 692 sq ft partially finished lower level is a genuine bonus — ideal for a home gym, studio, office, or hobby space. With both interior and exterior access plus a walkout, this is flexible space that most Southie homes simply don't offer.
Step outside to a private enclosed patio — perfect for quiet mornings or alfresco evenings. The fenced yard adds privacy and peace in the middle of the city.
This home is equipped with high-efficiency hydro-air heat and central A/C (2 zones each), insulated windows, and a programmable thermostat. The hardwood floors throughout are a mix of new and refinished, and the home features recessed lighting, crown molding, and decorative molding in the main living areas.
Location is everything — and 372 Silver St delivers. You're within walking distance of the beach (under half a mile), surrounded by local restaurants and neighborhood shops, and just steps from T-station access for easy commuting anywhere in the city. South Boston offers city views, walking and jogging trails, and a tight-knit community feel that's hard to find this close to downtown.
Nearby amenities include parks, medical facilities, marinas, public and private schools, and highway access. Whether you're headed to work, the waterfront, or the neighborhood pub, everything is within reach.
This home is move-in ready, refreshingly one-of-a-kind, and won't last long in this market.

It's relatively easy to get started, but knowing where and how to start is the biggest challenge. Unfortunately, the state licensing exam doesn't cover any marketing or business planning ... so new agents are often left to sink or swim! In 2023, the National Association of Realtors estimates 10,000 agents are being forced to leave the business each month!
After being in business for 20+ years, I've been able to help many buyers, sellers AND agents succeed. Getting started the right way with the right company can make or break an new agent. eXp Realty is now selling more homes than any other brokerage, so we have tools and training to help you succeed.
