Lisa May Realtor

Lisa May Realtor 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!)

House Crush 🤍

Abby recently spent three days wandering the Cotswolds solo and completely fell in love with the English countryside. The honey-colored stone cottages draped in climbing vines, gardens that somehow feel both perfectly manicured and wonderfully wild, and interiors layered with bold colors, playful wallpapers, crackling fireplaces, and antiques around every corner… what’s not to love?

This beautiful Sotheby’s listing captures everything we adore about Cotswold living. Thoughtfully renovated while honoring its history, it’s the kind of home that makes you want to slow down, light a fire, and stay awhile.

If Abby ever disappears… you’ll know exactly where to find her. 🇬🇧✨

We’re incredibly grateful to our clients for trusting us to guide them through their listing and sale. If you’re considering your next move, we’d be honored to be the partners you can count on from start to finish. Contact us today!

Another happy buyer! 🏡✨

It’s not uncommon for our clients to become friends, but every now and then, a friend becomes a client - and that’s extra special!

We had so much fun helping Erika & Connor find their beautiful new home in Lexington as they traded city life for the suburbs, giving their growing family a little more room to spread out.

One of the best parts of the journey was watching little Easton grow from showing to showing. We’re pretty sure he’ll be ready to join the team as our newest assistant in just a few years. 😉

Congratulations, Erika, Connor & Easton! We couldn’t be happier for your family and are so grateful to have been part of this exciting new chapter. ❤️

One of my favorite stops in Maine this weekend was visiting our former client, Lucy, at Mopsey Shop in Biddeford. 🧵🌸

Some relationships have a way of coming full circle.

Years ago, Lucy was a real estate client. Over time, she became a friend. Recently, after returning to needlepoint, I've had the joy of reconnecting with her in a whole new way.

Lucy is the owner of Mopsey Needlepoint in Biddeford, Maine, a wonderful needlepoint shop named for her great-grandmother, Mopsey, who taught her to stitch when she was just six years old.

My own grandmother, Gummy, taught me to needlepoint when I was little, and returning to it all these years later has been unexpectedly meaningful. There is something wonderfully grounding about creating something slowly, by hand, stitch by stitch. It reminds us of the people who first placed a needle in our hands and the traditions they passed along.

If you find yourself in southern Maine, I hope you'll stop in to see Lucy. Whether you're an experienced stitcher or just curious, she's created one of those rare places that feels welcoming the moment you walk through the door.

Sometimes the best connections find their way back to us when we least expect them. ❤️

Another happy buyer! 🏡✨

Kristen & Kevin were ready to make the move north, relocating their family of four from Florida to be closer to loved ones. Putting your trust in someone from afar isn’t easy, and we were honored to help guide them every step of the way.

After plenty of FaceTime showings, family walkthroughs, and conversations, we found a wonderful home in Wayland with so much potential - a place they can truly make their own.

Welcome home, Kristen & Kevin! We’re so grateful to have been part of this exciting new chapter. ❤️

Luxury living is evolving.

Today’s most desirable homes aren’t just about size or finishes—they’re about creating spaces where generations can gather, connect, and create lasting memories.

For many families, the ultimate luxury is having a home that can grow with them—a place where grandparents, parents, children, and grandchildren can share everyday moments while preserving independence.

At The May Group, we understand that a house is more than a property. It’s the backdrop for life’s most meaningful chapters. Contact us today to learn more about why the multigenerational home is redefining luxury living.

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. ❤️
