What makes working with Georgia Balafas different from other agents is her willingness to go the extra mile to give clients a personalized experience. “I take the time to understand who my clients are and what they care about,” says Balafas, an associate broker and Realtor with Compass in Back Bay. “I truly invest the time in getting to know them as people rather than just clients.”

A Massachusetts native, she has completed transactions in more than 35 communities surrounding Boston and has a wonderful team of lenders, attorneys, photographers, stagers, movers and more to help clients with the process.

“Homebuyers are often interested in multiple communities and/or towns,” she explains. “Not confining myself to just one area allows me to share and describe the nuances between communities.”

Balafas assists everyone from first-time to luxury buyers and sellers, as well as developers and investors. “I have the ability to be honest with clients when it’s not always what they want to hear, but in a way that is compassionate and always in their best interest,” she says.

Constantly coming up with innovative ways to put properties in the spotlight, she has a reputation for hosting unique events that set homes apart from the competition. With nearly 15 years of experience in the industry, she’s set several records for the highest sales price of homes considered “unusual” compared to other properties nearby.

“Real estate has always been in my blood,” Balafas says. “From a young age, I visited commercial properties with my father and assisted in my family’s property management business while in college. My desire to help people and use my communication and marketing skills drew me to the profession.”

Balafas is a Certified Luxury Home Marketing Specialist, Certified Residential Specialist, and Million Dollar Guild and Accredited Buyer Representative, in addition to belonging to multiple industry associations.
