Local Real Estate Expertise for Finding the Perfect Property
In addition to being a licensed custom home builder, Michael also holds a realtor’s license and maintains close ties with some of the most trusted agents in the Greater Boston area. Lori, his wife and business partner, notes that realtors often reach out to Michael when they come across properties that are perfect for a teardown, renovation, or new build. “He has a knack for spotting the potential in land and homes that others might overlook,” she says.
For families relocating to the Greater Boston area—whether for work, school, or lifestyle—CMJ becomes more than a builder. Michael and his team provide valuable insights about neighborhoods like Needham, helping new homeowners not only purchase with confidence but also feel truly rooted in their new community.
Smart Land Acquisition in Needham and Greater Boston
Finding the right lot is often one of the most stressful parts of building a home—especially for families new to the area. Building a house that suits your lifestyle is one thing; making sure it’s in the right location is another. Proximity to schools, public transportation, and local amenities all come into play.
Michael’s real estate expertise and industry connections give clients a competitive advantage, allowing them to secure land that not only meets their needs but also has strong long-term value. For anyone searching for land in Needham or the surrounding suburbs, CMJ Properties ensures the process is both strategic and seamless.
Decades of Custom Home Building Experience in Greater Boston
Building in Massachusetts requires more than a strong design—it demands deep knowledge of local building codes, permitting, inspections, and the building department process. Michael has developed strong relationships with inspectors and officials, which helps projects move smoothly and efficiently.
With decades of hands-on experience, Michael knows how to navigate supply chain delays, stay ahead of material shortages, and adapt quickly to changing market conditions. Remember when it took months to acquire some appliances? CMJ Properties was fully prepared, ordering SubZero and Wolf appliance packages well in advance, so new homeowners never had to worry about moving in without a finished kitchen.
Your One-Stop Partner for Real Estate, Design, and Construction
What sets CMJ Properties apart is the ability to act as both construction consultant and builder. Instead of juggling multiple professionals—a realtor, a builder, and a project manager—clients can rely on Michael for all of it. In fact, even other builders have hired him as a construction project management consultant, trusting his expertise to keep projects on track.
Lori sums it up best:
“Michael just has this ability to see the big picture. He can walk into a house, evaluate the land, and immediately understand its potential — and then he knows how to build something incredible on it.”
In a competitive market like Greater Boston, that kind of vision is priceless. For clients, CMJ Properties means not just a beautiful custom home, but also peace of mind that every step—from land to design to construction—is handled with expertise.
