"We had the pleasure of staying at one of Lance's short term rentals in Cambridge while we were looking for a longer term apartment in the Boston area. Not only was Lance the most accommodating and understanding host I've had at an accommodation, he was the best real estate agent I worked with while searching for apartments. What I appreciated most about Lance was his genuine interest in finding the right apartment to meet our needs. I never felt as though he was pushing us or showing us places we wouldn't like. I could tell that he truly enjoys helping people find their homes and having someone like that on your side is very reassuring. After getting to know and trust Lance through the apartment hunt, I felt 100% confident in his ability to negotiate and advocate for us when speaking with landlords and other agents. He was clear, concise and proactive in our approach to offers as well. It is also important for me to note just how nice of a person Lance is. He was a pleasure to work with and I will definitely ask for his help in my future apartment hunts and real estate needs." - Tom C.

"Lance is such a great real estate agent to work with, very responsive and helpful! He listened to our needs and didn't waste our time showing us any place that didn't match all of our requests. I hope to work with him again in the future." - Jovana S.

About Lance

Inspired by his father, Lance developed his passion for real estate as a teenager. From installing 24x24 travertine tiles in kitchens to replacing roofs damaged by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005, Lance accumulated hands-on real estate experiences over the past two decades. Sensing opportunities during the financial crisis of 2008, Lance aggressively closed millions of dollars deals at nearly half of their market values. Most recently, Lance represented one of his clients to purchase a property at 30% below its listing price in the heart of Cambridge, a rare achievement in a fiercely competitive seller’s market.

He is also an ardent proponent of renewable energy, having founded a multinational cleantech software startup out of the Harvard Innovation Labs. Bringing his entrepreneurial experiences to real estate, Lance’s greatest satisfaction comes from guiding his clients through the most important transaction of their lives by carefully listening to their needs, understanding the nuances of the local market, and negotiating deftly for best deals.

As a native Texan, Lance fell in love with Boston’s beautiful seasons and historical buildings; he has lived in Cambridge since 2013. He holds a Master of Public Policy from Harvard, and an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Business. He speaks Chinese Mandarin and Japanese.
