Women in Real Estate: S – Z

Sarah Shimoff
A Passionate Advocate for Her Clients

Sarah Shimoff of Compass Real Estate

Sarah Shimoff has a gift for matching clients with their dream homes. She combines deep market knowledge and negotiating savvy with patience and warmth to help clients meet their goals. Shimoff has sold over $70 million in property in the Boston area. In a tight market, she is an effective advocate and able to access both off-market and on-market properties. Her clients trust her because she puts their needs and wishes first in every situation.

Shimoff has helped clients break records in sale prices, raze and build homes, create stunning custom marketing assets, stage homes to increase their appeal, and found properties that were not for sale for clients where none of the properties on the market fit, including sales for two homes abutting Robbins Farm Park in Arlington.

Shimoff’s talents and relationships stretch beyond the business of buying and selling. She is a passionate advocate for her clients, encouraging them to think holistically about value, renovations, and timelines. Well-respected throughout the city for her reliability, charisma, and candor, Shimoff is connected with lenders, inspectors, attorneys, appraisers, brokers, interior designers, organizers, movers, and other housing professionals. Each client benefits from the breadth of her network, and her experience as a real estate investor, renovator, and homeowner.

Born and raised in the Boston area, Shimoff understands the locations and the lifestyle each section of a community provides having lived in Downtown Boston in the North End, Back Bay, Cambridge, Somerville, Allston, Norwood, and Concord. She has 17 years of experience in real estate. Shimoff served on a board member for a Botson-based children’s art project, The Colored Pencil Project, and is now raising money for local women filmmakers. She lives in Watertown with her family in an antique Victorian

The Bohlin Group
A Dynamic Mother-Daughter Duo

The Bohlin Group of Compass Real Estate

In the short span of five years, since Martha and Anna Bohlin became a mother-daughter duo, The Bohlin Group has proven itself a force in the Massachusetts real estate market. This should come as no surprise as the family’s knowledge of the industry goes back three generations.

Kathrine Doyle Whiteman, the matriarch of the family and Martha Bohlin’s mother, was a real estate agent in Fairfield, CT, during the 1970s and ’80s. Martha worked closely with her mother between 1980 and 1984, before relocating to Massachusetts with her family. Martha’s daughter, Anna, joined her in 2016, as the tradition continues.

“We truly take pride in the work we do as a mother-daughter team,” Anna says. Highlighting their passion for building strong and long-standing relationships with their clients, both Bohlins emphasize their traditional and modern take on real estate and how it brings a level of personalization to every transaction.

Operating as women in this industry isn’t always the easiest, but as Martha points out, “we are always leaning on one another, learning from one another, and supporting each other. There’s no doubt that there are incredibly high highs, as well as low lows, but at the end of the day, we have each other to rely on.” What makes this team unique is their ability to build relationships, and lean into their network, providing a level of unparalleled service.
