Kirsten McEleney

Broker-Owner · KM Real Estate Group LLC

Kirsten McEleney founded KM Real Estate Group and KM Property Management. She sets the firm’s strategy and standard of work across brokerage and management.

Clients choose KM when they want listing strategy, permits, and management treated as one plan—not three vendors who don’t talk to each other.

How we work

A clear process, not a script

01

One plan, not three vendors

Brokerage, permitting, and management stay scoped so you always know who owns the next step.

02

Strategy before marketing

We price and position first. Photos and open houses come after the plan is clear.

03

Permits and operations included

When a deal needs ISD, a contractor, or a property manager, that work stays connected—not handed off.

04

Relationships over transactions

Repeat clients and referrals are the point. We build for the next chapter, not just the closing.

Where we work

Greater Boston homes, multifamily, and projects that need more than a form.

KM focuses on the situations where local knowledge and clear execution matter—core Boston neighborhoods, Quincy, Brookline, and nearby communities, investment multifamily, and renovations that require permit coordination.

Boston core neighborhoods

Back Bay, South End, Beacon Hill, Seaport, and nearby streets where presentation and timing still decide the sale.

Multifamily residential building in Quincy

Quincy & South Shore

Homes and multifamily for owners and investors who want practical pricing and a team that can manage after closing.

Residential street typical of Brookline and inner suburbs

Brookline & inner suburbs

Family homes and condos where school districts, building rules, and renovation plans change the strategy.

Greater Boston residential street with small multifamily buildings

Multifamily & small portfolios

Two- to twelve-unit assets that need underwriting, leasing, and operations—not just a listing photo.

Recent results

Closings owners can point to.

These are transactions KM took from pricing and positioning through marketing, negotiation, and the closing table—across Greater Boston homes, multifamily, and investment property. When the next step is more than a listing form, this is the kind of outcome the work is built to deliver.
