Ann Atamian works with buyers and sellers in Grafton, part of her MetroWest territory.

Grafton real estate with Ann Atamian

How's the Grafton market? Which market? I'm Ann Atamian with Gibson Sotheby's International Realty, and I work with buyers and sellers in Grafton. A town with several villages is not one search, so we start with which part fits you.

When we sit down together, every cost is itemized and on the table before you sign anything. I stage most of my listings myself, at no extra charge, and I believe in being there for showings and inspections.

The villages of Grafton

Grafton is made of distinct villages. North Grafton is home to the former Grafton State Hospital campus and the MBTA Grafton station. South Grafton is where Tupperware was founded in 1938. Grafton center has the historic common with its bandstand. Fisherville and Farnumsville are older mill villages with their own historic districts.

Each of these feels different, and I'd walk the one that fits your list with you before I talk about price. Two identical homes are not worth the same.

If you've been in your Grafton home for decades

You may have been in the house for decades and not know where to start. That is normal. The worry underneath is almost always numbers. Downsizing with a plan walks through the whole sale, and condos and 55+ communities covers the next home. I'll take the wheel when you want me to, and step back when you don't.

A Little History

The village of Hassanamesit became a Praying Indian town in 1647. Grafton was settled in 1718 and incorporated in 1735. The Grafton Free Public Library opened in 1867, and Grafton State Hospital opened in North Grafton in 1901. Tupperware was founded in South Grafton in 1938. When the hospital closed in 1973, its campus was taken over by Tufts' Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine and a Job Corps center.
