< Back Robert Konover REALTOR® Robert Konover doesn't just work in real estate, he lives and breathes market intelligence. While most agents check listings, Robert dissects market patterns, timing trends, and competitive strategies that give his clients decisive advantages. His background in client success management translates perfectly to real estate: turning complex decisions into clear strategies. Robert's clients don't just get an agent—they get a market strategist who anticipates moves before they happen and positions them to win, whether they're competing for their first home, scaling up, or building wealth through investment. What sets Robert apart is his market obsession that pays real dividends through real-time intelligence on pricing, inventory, and competition. His strategic negotiation mastery wins deals through preparation, not just persistence, while his always-on availability ensures he's responsive when opportunities demand split-second decisions. In a market where timing is everything and information is power, Robert ensures his clients are always one step ahead of the competition. robert@leadingedgeagents.com 617-455-2796‬

MENU GET IN TOUCH Join Us LEARN ABOUT OUR AFFILIATE PROGRAM IT'S GETTING A LITTLE WEIRD Something Magical is Happening Here Our agents voluntarily show up to training. Not just the new ones trying to impress anyone - the seasoned pros too. They collaborate on deals when they could easily hoard leads. Some have been caught... humming. The Boston Globe noticed too and we’ve been named to the Best Places to Work List so many times, we need to invest in a new trophy case. Which explains the humming but raises new questions about what we're putting in the coffee. CONTACT US Here's what's actually going on: We've painstakingly created a place where people genuinely want to be. Where "optional" doesn't mean "skip it." Where covering for a colleague feels natural. Where your success makes everyone else cheer louder, not get jealous. The plot twist? When agents are genuinely supported - emotionally, technically, creatively - they don't just perform better. They transform into the kind of professionals who make clients feel like family and colleagues feel like co-conspirators in something bigger. Fair warning: Once you experience a workplace that feels like your favorite team winning the championship every day, going back to "tolerate your job" becomes physically impossible. The uncomfortable question: What if work could actually be... fun? Ready to find out what all the voluntary enthusiasm is about? Contact us to find out what you're missing... P.S. Yes, the humming is real. No, we can't explain it. Yes, it's contagious. Nancy Cerulo VP of Strategic Growth Phone Email Sam Mellus Director of Strategy Phone Email Copyright © 2024.
