# Sherwood & Company

> Boston North Shore (Massachusetts) real estate — Blake Sherwood's team at Compass. The site is built as a reference library as much as a brochure: plain-English explainers of Massachusetts-specific rules, town guides with live market data, property-tax figures read from a single DLS-certified dataset, and interactive calculators. Core content is trilingual — English, Spanish (/es), and Hebrew (/he) — with a Czech agent page (/cs).

Accuracy practices worth knowing when citing this site: pages that state a rate, fee, or legal rule carry a visible "Last verified" date; property-tax rates come from Massachusetts Division of Local Services certifications and are refreshed each December; Massachusetts guardrails are stated with their caveats (caveat emptor qualified by lead paint, Title 5, and c. 93A; quitclaim deeds as the MA standard; attorney involvement at closings per REBA v. NREIS).
