About Marie

About Marie Richards is an industry leader with more than 25 years of experience across all facets of real estate. A native of Milton, Massachusetts, and a Boston College alumna, Marie brings deep local expertise and firsthand knowledge of Boston’s diverse neighborhoods—from Charlestown to the South Shore. Having made Boston her home for many years, she is passionate about helping clients connect with the city she loves. As Marie often says, “I want each buyer to love this wonderful city as much as I do.” Marie’s career began early with her family’s property management company, which specialized in luxury rentals. From the outset, she recognized the value of building strong relationships and cultivating a trusted network of professionals—resources she continues to share generously with her clients today. After graduating from college, Marie expanded into general brokerage, representing buyers and sellers as well as tenants and landlords. A defining milestone in her career was her first new development project at Flagship Wharf in the Charlestown Navy Yard, where she successfully sold luxury condominiums and earned recognition for her highly client-centric approach. She views every interaction as an opportunity to build long-term relationships founded on trust. Exceptional client service is at the core of Marie’s business. She believes that truly understanding her clients’ needs is the critical first step to a successful real estate experience—and the most rewarding part of her work. “I credit my success to taking the time to listen,” she explains. “Understanding my clients’ objectives is one of the most important parts of the process.” Whether working with buyers, sellers, or investors, Marie begins every relationship with an in-depth consultation to understand goals, timelines, budgets, and priorities. This thoughtful, strategic approach allows her to guide clients confidently through each step of the process and help them make informed decisions. An expert negotiator, Marie has personally represented more than 150 successful transactions over the past five years and has ranked among Boston’s Top 20 real estate professionals. Clients trust her ability to navigate an ever-changing market and secure the best possible price under the strongest possible terms. Marie is proud to bring her extensive experience, unique perspective, and unwavering commitment to superior client service to Coldwell Banker Realty. She also serves on the Board of Directors of the Friends of the Charlestown Navy Yard, reflecting her deep commitment to the community she serves.
