Source: MLS PIN closed sales via Bridge, Braintree only, Nov 5, 2024 – Oct 30, 2026. Medians, not averages. Sales where Justin Rollo or his team was an agent are left out. Based on information provided to and compiled by MLS Property Information Network, Inc. covering the period Nov 5, 2024 through Oct 30, 2026. A fixer = the listing description uses project language (needs work, TLC, as-is, handyman, contractor special, estate sale, bring your vision). Descriptions are written by the listing agent, so this undercounts houses that need work but weren’t described that way.
