About Sharon McNamara

Sharon is the Broker, Owner, and Founder of Boston Connect Real Estate. She took a leap of faith in 2010, when the market had fully declined, and opened her own boutique brokerage built to serve agents and clients first, with a focus on mentorship, service, and long-term REALationshipsÔ, not a model driven by headcount, unit volume, or corporate quotas. Sharon jokes it felt like the perfect time to start a company, because she had nowhere to go but up.

The name Boston Connect Real Estate is personal. Sharon grew up in Dorchester, just outside of Boston, and later built her life and business on the South Shore. “Boston Connect” reflects her mission of connecting Boston to the South Shore, South Coast, and Cape Cod through real estate, and connecting people to the communities where their next chapter begins.

What Sharon built was never meant to be an empire. It was designed to be a boutique firm rooted in a client-first, holistic approach, where people feel supported, guided, and genuinely cared for, and where REALationshipsÔ matter more than quick transactions.

For the past 24 years, Sharon has built her business around one core belief: real estate is not just about buying and selling homes, it is about helping people navigate life. That is exactly why her guiding message is, “Connecting you to where life moves you,” because every move represents a new chapter, a new goal, or a new beginning.

With more than 750 homes sold and over $375,000,000 in closed real estate value, Sharon brings deep experience, confident strategy, and steady leadership to every client and every agent she serves.

NOT DRIVEN BY NUMBERS, DRIVEN BY SATISFACTION
Sharon will be the first to tell you, she is not motivated by rankings, volume contests, or market statistics for the sake of a headline. Numbers matter because they inform strategy, but they are not how she measures success. Sharon measures success by the client experience: how clear the process felt, how protected her clients were, how well they were communicated with, and how confident they felt when it was time to make big decisions. She is proud that so much of her business comes from repeat clients and referrals, because REALationshipsÔ last longer than any single sale.

FOR HOME BUYERS
Buying a home is exciting, emotional, and often fast-moving. Sharon’s job is to bring clarity to the noise and strategy to the search, without pressure. Clients count on her for straight answers, strong communication, and guidance that protects them at every step, from planning and touring strategy to offer terms, inspections, and negotiation. Sharon’s approach is REALationshipÔ-driven, which means you feel supported, respected, and informed, so you can make decisions with confidence.

FOR HOME SELLERS
Selling is not “put it online and hope.” Sharon approaches every listing as both a trusted advisor and a marketing consultant. She helps sellers position their home with purpose, price with strategy, and present the property in a way that attracts the right buyers and the strongest terms. From your first pricing conversation to the final details before closing, Sharon is known for consistent communication, practical guidance, and a level of professionalism that keeps the process organized and calm. At the center of it all is her focus on “Connecting you to where life moves you,” because a sale is never just a sale, it is a transition.

A HIGHER LEVEL OF SERVICE, BUILT THROUGH COLLABORATION
Because Sharon believes her clients deserve the very best, she often pairs her experience and leadership with the strengths of one or more trusted agents within her brokerage. This collaborative approach creates a smoother experience for buyers and sellers, with consistent communication, more availability, and thoughtful support across every detail of the process. You get Sharon’s strategy and oversight, plus a coordinated team that keeps timelines, tasks, and details moving efficiently, so the experience feels easier, more organized, and better cared for from start to finish. That is REALationshipÔ service in action.

FOR AGENTS LOOKING FOR A NEW BROKERAGE
Sharon leads a boutique-style brokerage built on professionalism, integrity, knowledge, and community. Agents who join Boston Connect Real Estate gain the advantage of direct access to leadership without layers of middle management, quick decision-making, and a culture that values collaboration over competition.

Sharon is deeply committed to helping agents become highly desired and respected professionals in the communities they serve. She supports growth through training sessions, education, expert guidance, and personalized mentoring, because she believes great agents are built through standards, support, and REALationshipsÔ, not guesswork.

A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO “RECRUITING”
Sharon will be the first to tell you, she does not “recruit” in the traditional sense, and it is intentional. Not because she does not respect the value that great agents bring from outside her boutique firm, but because she does not run her business by big-box standards that revolve around quotas, scripts, or tactics that can feel forced.

If Sharon has an hour to invest, she is more likely to spend it one-on-one with a current agent, sharpening skills, solving real problems, and helping them deliver even better service to their clients. Her focus is not on collecting headcount. It is on building a brokerage where agents are supported in a meaningful way, with a REALationshipÔ foundation that makes them better advisors, better negotiators, and better stewards of the trust clients place in them.

And if you are considering a brokerage change, Sharon welcomes the conversation. Give her a call, and you will quickly see that her goal is to help you make the right next move, even if that move is not Boston Connect Real Estate. She will listen to what you want, help you clarify your goals, and help you decipher what environment, support, and structure are truly the best fit for you, so you can build your business with confidence and a REALationshipÔ-driven foundation.

In Sharon’s world, the right agents are not “sold.” They are aligned. They find Boston Connect Real Estate because they want a culture where integrity matters, guidance is real, collaboration is normal, and people are treated like people, not numbers.

A PHILOSOPHY THAT FEELS DIFFERENT
Sharon is more than a real estate advisor and consultant. She is a steady, strategic partner for people navigating major decisions, and a strong advocate for clients who want exceptional communication, clear guidance, and a professional who knows how to protect their best interests.

Her work is relationship-first and results-driven, with a long view of trust. That is why so much of her business is built on referrals, repeat clients, and the REALationshipsÔ she has developed over decades in the communities she serves.

If you are buying, selling, or exploring a brokerage change, Sharon McNamara and Boston Connect Real Estate are here to connect you to where life moves you, with REALationshipÔ-focused guidance and a standard of service you can feel from day one.
