Residential Properties Ltd. is excited to announce that Sales Associate Kathleen Flaherty has joined the roster of top real estate professionals at our Barrington office. Kathleen grew up in Millis, Massachusetts, earned her B.S. in management from Johnson & Wales University, and worked in the public school system for 15 years. Kathleen began working part-time in real estate while working as a math interventionist, but when she and her family moved from Millis to Barrington in 2017, she became a full-time Realtor®. Now Kathleen begins her next exciting chapter as an agent with Residential Properties.
The East Coast Rhody
Kathleen is passionate about living on the East Coast. Growing up in New England, she spent summers on Hog Island, where her great grandparents began vacationing over 100 years ago, and where today her family owns more than a dozen properties. She also expresses her love of New England through her Instagram profile “The East Coast Rhody,” highlighting local businesses, hidden gems, and fun events. “’Love where you live!’ is my blog’s motto, which embodies my feelings about both home and our wonderful community,” Flaherty said. “My family and I have always considered the East Bay our home because of our ties and time spent during the summers here. In 2018, we chose to live in Barrington because we have many relatives and friends in town. It has been a wonderful place to raise our four children.”
Finding a perfect mix of collaboration and professionalism was important to Kathleen. When considering which agency to join, RPL quickly impressed her as having the sort of positive culture and support to supercharge this next phase of her career. “I decided to join Residential Properties for many reasons,” Flaherty noted. “I certainly knew how happy my friends who work for Residential have been – and they were right! Since joining, I've never felt so supported. It’s not only a beautiful feeling of camaraderie, but also a strong network of cutting-edge technology and insightful market knowledge. For any help I need, someone is there.”
Clients come first
Kathleen has established an important presence throughout her community. When not strategizing on behalf of her clients, she devotes her energies to several interests and causes. “I am a huge fan of the Zac Brown Band and host an annual fundraising event at Fenway Park benefiting Zac’s camp, ‘Camp Southern Ground,’ as well as ‘Hop On A Cure’ for ALS awareness,” Flaherty added. “I also authored the children's book “An Octopus Named Mom,” the proceeds from which go to Ovations for the Cure in memory of my mother, whom I lost 20 years ago to ovarian cancer.” Family time adds another rich layer to her life. She has been with her husband since they first started dating in 1986; attending high school proms together and eventually marrying in 1995. Together, they’ve raised two boys and two girls and created a loving, tight-knit family.
Electrified by this exciting new phase in her journey as an agent, Kathleen looks forward to working with her new RPL colleagues and connecting clients with their dream homes. “My clients are my number one priority,” Flaherty said. “I pride myself on delivering service above and beyond, with integrity, strong interpersonal skills, high technological exposure, social media, and other platforms. I will work tirelessly to help my clients achieve their real estate goals.”
