Newest team member - Meet Anastasia Hastings

Please join us in welcoming Anastasia Hastings to the team.

Ana grew up in Hingham and spent years inside the real estate development world, which gave her an early appreciation for the details that turn a property into a place people are proud to call home. She now works as a Real Estate Advisor with REAL Brokerage and the Steph Crawford Group, guiding buyers, sellers, and investors through one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.

Her approach is built on relationships, thoughtful strategy, and service that does not stop at the closing table. She listens first, learns what a client is actually trying to accomplish, and builds a plan around it. Her background in executive support, client management, marketing, and real estate operations means she brings organization and negotiation instincts to every transaction.

Ana serves the South Shore of Massachusetts, working with buyers, sellers, and investors across residential real estate. If you or someone you know is looking south of the city, she is a wonderful resource.

Ana's Local Spotlight: Hingham, MA

Some places stay with you. For Ana, that place is Hingham.

She grew up in this coastal town, and even after experiencing communities all over Massachusetts, it is still the one that feels like home. New England charm meets waterfront beauty here. Historic homes line tree covered streets, and every season gives you a reason to be outside.

A walk through World's End. Lunch in Hingham Square. The ferry into Boston. Boats coming into Hingham Harbor. There is a sense of community in Hingham that is genuinely hard to replicate.

From a real estate perspective, Hingham remains one of the South Shore's most in demand towns, and the reasons are easy to list:

• Highly regarded schools
• A vibrant, walkable downtown
• Beaches and a scenic harbor
• Commuter access to Boston by both ferry and train
• Housing stock that ranges from charming Colonials to extraordinary waterfront estates

What Ana loves most is that Hingham sells a lifestyle, not just a house. Neighbors know each other. Kids grow up exploring parks and beaches. Weekends belong to local restaurants and small businesses. And the sunset over the harbor explains the rest.

Ana's South Shore Dream Home: 15 Merrill Street, Crow Point

This one is not on the market. It is the home that made Ana fall in love with real estate in the first place.

Her father, Tom Hastings, built 15 Merrill Street, and she grew up there. It was not just beautiful. It was designed for the way a family actually lives, gathers, and makes memories. Summer afternoons by the pool. Family dinners. Holidays. Long evenings outside with friends and neighbors. It was the house everyone wanted to gather in, which taught her early that the best homes are welcoming before they are impressive.

Years into a real estate career, she notices the details even more. Exceptional craftsmanship. Timeless architecture. Quality materials. Natural light. Functional spaces. A seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Those are the qualities that still feel special decades after a home is built.

The location does the rest of the work. Crow Point sits minutes from Hingham Harbor, Hingham Square, top rated schools, beaches, walking trails, and the commuter ferry into Boston.

Would she buy it today? Without a second thought.

Caroline's Pick: Upton Street Development Update

Caroline Barry (@MakeBostonHome) is taking us behind the scenes of one of the South End's most interesting residential transformations. Her latest update follows the progress at Upton Street, where a historic single family home is being converted into three thoughtfully designed residences, with completion anticipated in Spring 2027.

It is a great look at how classic Boston architecture can be reimagined for modern living without losing the character that makes these neighborhoods what they are. Follow Caroline for development updates and an insider's view of the market.
