Chrissie Lawrence and Betsy Kessler are leading sales producers in the western Boston-area suburbs and own their independent brokerage, Rutledge Properties, in Wellesley, Mass. 

“We believe ‘Boutique is Better,’ and when we add in our fundamentally female skills of creativity, collaboration, and communication, our firm can not only compete but thrive,” Lawrence says.

“The journey of a small-business owner is challenging but incredibly rewarding,” Kessler adds. “Each sale represents not just a transaction but a connection, and we’re proud to contribute to our community while building a brand that reflects our values and vision.” 

Lawrence and Kessler built their own sales careers based on hyperlocal knowledge and exceptional service. Both partners grew up in Wellesley, returned to raise their own families, and followed their mothers into the real estate business. Kessler brings a career in advertising strategy and client service, while Lawrence brings an MBA from the Wharton School and a career in consumer products management. Both emphasize the importance of expertise, preparedness, exceptional service to every client, and a no-shortcuts mentality. 

“We are the perfect partners! And we love being independent. We don’t answer to anyone but ourselves, which means every decision is the one we believe is right,” Lawrence says.

Among the most elite producers, Lawrence and Kessler are a leading force in the Wellesley market, each with a successful track record spanning more than 20 years. They provide their clients with unsurpassed service, unparalleled knowledge, winning strategies, and seamless outcomes. They can be reached at [email protected] and [email protected].
