ABOUT

The Best Opportunities Are Built From The Ground Up

A collaboration between seasoned Realtors, Nicole Blanchard and Daniel O’Leary, 617 Living has become one of Boston’s leading real estate teams for home sales and luxury rentals.

Nicole Blanchard

grew up just north of the city and exuded determination from an early age. After graduating early from college, she headed straight to work. And it was there, while working in sales at Saks Fifth Avenue, when she met the broker who would later become her mentor. He believed her sales background and straightforwardness would serve her well as a Realtor and suggested she start training under him. As a modern-day businesswoman, Nicole’s effectiveness and efficiency resulted in a record number of transactions her first year...and every year since.

Daniel O'Leary

hails from Boston’s North Shore and was raised around his family’s construction business. And that meant his summers were spent on job sites, becoming acutely familiar with both property construction and project management. After a stretch with the family business, Daniel segued into hospitality working for lauded restaurateur Barbara Lynch. But in due course, his direction shifted towards real estate, which was a natural progression from the high-touch, interpersonal world of hospitality.

while working alongside one another at their first Boston brokerage. Colleagues and fast friends, the two together made for a really strong partnership. Nicole’s fiery tenacity and transactional efficiency perfectly complements Daniel’s operational prowess and hospitality-driven approach. Together, the pair formed their own team in 617 Living, shaking up the Boston luxury real estate scene with a forward-thinking approach and fearless challenge of the status quo.
