About The New Home Collective Group

The New Home Collective, empowered by Boston Connect Real Estate, was built on a simple idea: new construction deserves the same personal, intentional, REALationship™-driven approach that defines everything each individual group member has built in their own businesses over the years. Sharon McNamara, Mary Horton, Kristen Howlett, and Faith Bermingham work together as a coordinated team, giving new construction buyers a higher level of service, clearer communication, and a smoother experience from the first model home visit through the final walkthrough.

Each member of The New Home Collective owns a distinct piece of the process. Mary manages the contracts, disclosures, and deadlines that keep every file on track. Sharon is the team's on-site presence for every construction milestone, from design selection to the final walkthrough. Kristen and Faith are the first faces buyers meet, guiding them from that first open house visit through every showing and follow-up. It's a structure built so nothing falls through the cracks, and so buyers always know exactly who to call.

As The New Home Collective, the team's shared focus stays entirely on new construction sales at Cochesett Estates with Stonebridge Homes. Outside of that partnership, each member continues to run their own independent resale business, working directly with the people who know them best: their own family, friends, and past clients. Those relationships are handled personally, with the same standard of care, because a REALationship™ is not a marketing term here, it is the foundation of how they work. It's what the team calls their "both and" approach: the focus of a dedicated new construction team, and the personal attention of an independent advisor on everything else.

Sharon McNamara, Broker, Owner, and Founder of Boston Connect Real Estate, brings 24 years of experience, more than 750 homes sold, and over $500,000,000 in closed real estate value to the team. She trademarked the word REALationship because it defines her standard: relationship-first service backed by real expertise. As the team's on-site lead for every construction milestone, Sharon gives buyers a steady, experienced presence at every step of the build.

Mary Horton keeps the paperwork, deadlines, and details organized so buyers and the rest of the team can focus on what matters most. Balancing a thriving real estate career with being a new mom, Mary brings real-life perspective, patience, and calm to helping clients navigate one of the biggest purchases of their lives, with the same attention to detail her clients already know her for at every tour and walkthrough.

Kristen Howlett brings a lifelong Massachusetts resident's knowledge of the local market, from Boston's North End to Cape Cod, along with sharp negotiation skills and an eye for detail built from years in the service industry. Buyers know her as a tireless advocate who researches every property in depth, never pressures a decision, and stays available and responsive throughout the entire process.

Faith Bermingham, 2023 Agent of the Year in Plymouth County, was raised in Pembroke and now lives in Hanson, giving her true insider knowledge of the communities The New Home Collective serves. Her background in office management and accounting sharpened the attention to detail her clients rely on, and her clients consistently describe her as warm, responsive, and someone who "makes the impossible possible."

Whether you are exploring a new construction community, buying your next home, or preparing to sell, The New Home Collective offers the best of both worlds: the strength of a coordinated team and the care of a REALationship™-first approach, all aligned with Sharon's message, "Connecting You To Where Life Moves You."
