There are hundreds of details in every real estate transaction. How are you supposed to keep them straight? Make the right choices? Stay on top of all your deadlines?

Why should you care about absorption rates? What does the sales trend mean to you? How does the closing rate affect your purchase and sale? Does your head hurt thinking about it?

You need a brilliant project manager. A renaissance man. Someone who lives and breathes the details, the data, the problem solving.

You need Del Wilson. He applies his skills as a higher-up mucky-muck at an esteemed liberal arts college in Brunswick, Maine, to your very tailored and specific real estate needs, problems and dreams.

During his 20+ year tenure at Bowdoin, Del managed the acquisitions, sales and rentals for the college's ever-growing real estate holdings. He was the lead on an aggressive plan to achieve carbon neutrality by 2020 and was the institution's town liaison, where he was a key player in crafting and implementing a multi-year comprehensive master plan. Wow. Now that's a resume of someone who gets things done. You want an agent who is high in communication and a radical implementer like that watching your back!

Event planning is in his DNA. Selling or buying a home is a big event.

After spending a good portion of his career in higher education, Del decided to pivot his focus on residential real estate. He brings with him not only extensive experience, but a fastidious perspective and approach. Del's pervasive attention to detail means you won't be catastrophically losing your real estate deposit because of a misstep. Del will ride all the parties to meet their deadlines on your behalf. He'll be on high alert for problems that could thwart your closing.

What do they say about Del? "Charming...Professional to the core...I know he's going to do whatever it takes..." We could go on and on, but we won't bore you. Let's just say he has raving fans. Del's passion for community, protecting the planet and family (some may argue that he loves his dog more than his husband) drive him every day. Isn't that the kind of guy you want to work with? Del managed a study abroad program in India, was a denim specialist at the Gap helping celebrities and he is now committed to your success.

A native New Englander, Del lives in Melrose with his husband Gary and their yellow lab Baxter. And for Gary's sake, let's not fawn all over the dog. He has comprehensive knowledge of the greater Boston area and would be absolutely thrilled to help you find or sell your home.
