The May Group. Real Estate For Real People The May Group is a small, full-service residential real estate practice based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

We represent buyers and sellers throughout the greater Boston metro region, with a focus on Cambridge and surrounding communities. We are independent and woman-owned and built upon the Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty brand. REAL ESTATE WITH A HUMAN TOUCH

Ask almost anyone to define “real estate” and they’ll give you the same answer: property. Buildings and land; buying and selling; big, com

plicated transactions. At The May Group, we see things a little differently. For us, the definition of real estate is people. People living their lives, growing and changing, transforming houses into homes, building wealth and independence. It is about people sharing experiences, making memories, coming together, and celebrating. When you focus on people first, the business of real estate shifts and becomes truly meaningful. The buildings and land, the buying and selling, and all the thousands of details involved in every real estate transaction are like the pieces of an intricate jigsaw puzzle. Poured out of the box onto a table they seem impossibly complicated. Putting them together is challenging and occasionally frustrating, but also infinitely satisfying. And when you are done you’ve created a beautiful picture. (Pro tip: start at the edges, and try to keep the cats off the table!)

Another happy buyer! ✨

This one felt especially meant to be.

35 Walden Street in Cambridge, MA, is a one-of-a-kind loft in a former 19th-century schoolhouse. Our buyers are avid readers and book lovers, so when they discovered that their new home sits behind the building’s original library entrance - complete with “LIBRARY” still carved into the stone facade - it felt like a sign.

Beyond the historic details, the space itself is incredible: soaring ceilings, massive windows, a sun-filled solarium, and a sprawling roof deck. It’s full of character, light, and the kind of charm that’s impossible to recreate.

We couldn’t be happier for these two and can’t wait to see how they make this special home their own. ❤️
