Nicole Blanchard

Nicole Blanchard grew up just north of the city and exuded determination from an early age. After graduating early from college, she headed straight to work. And it was there, while working in sales at Saks Fifth Avenue, when she met the broker who would later become her mentor. He believed her sales background and straightforwardness would serve her well as a Realtor and suggested she start training under him. As a modern-day businesswoman, Nicole’s effectiveness and efficiency resulted in a record number of transactions her first year…and every year since.

Nicole and Daniel first met while working alongside one another at their first Boston brokerage. Colleagues and fast friends, the two together made for a really strong partnership. Nicole’s fiery tenacity and transactional efficiency perfectly complements Daniel’s operational prowess and hospitality-driven approach. Together, the pair formed their own team in 617 Living, shaking up the Boston luxury real estate scene with a forward-thinking approach and fearless challenge of the status quo.

617 Living has been ranked #1 in Luxury Rentals in the Boston area – by a landslide – multiple years running.
