BOWES Joins Real Living!

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

New Great Network. Same Great Team!

Exciting News! BOWES is delighted to be joining the RealLiving® network and anxious to show our customers the benefits of working with us for your real estate needs.  We are changing our name to BOWES Real Estate, RealLiving® and we think it’s a sign of a bright future! We want our customers to know our new affiliation is more than simply a name change. It’s an opportunity to provide our sales associates and customers access to a comprehensive, integrated suite of resources and services. It will enable us to build on our market leadership, expand our operations and maximize our potential within the constantly evolving real estate marketplace. As part of the RealLiving® family, we can now offer our customers and agents an even larger global reach and referral pool, along with an expanded network of technology tools and training. And while we’re thrilled to announce our new name and all the great advantages it will bring, there remains one thing that will never change: Our commitment to our customers. Nothing will ever change our dedication to you!

What’s New?

We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with RealLiving®!  After careful consideration and exploring all the national and international real estate franchises, deciding to team up with RealLiving® was an easy choice for BOWES.

RealLiving® is a relatively new franchise, heavily capitalized and committed to bringing technology and services to our customers that are unavailable from any other real estate company.  While most real estate franchises are contracting and focusing on cutting expenses, RealLiving® is growing by leaps and bounds, bringing new products to market and committed to investing in its franchisees.  RealLiving® can provide us with the support and resources that only an internationally respected and growing real estate company can offer. RealLiving® also shares BOWES’ customer-driven philosophy and selectively only allows Premier Service Certified companies to join their franchise.

BOWES has set the standard for providing its customers with a premier service experience in Arlington MA and the surrounding communities since 1945.  We believe that RealLiving® shares this philosophy as they have promised to deliver tools and training that allow us to: (1) deliver an unmatched service experience, (2) employ only highly skilled, knowledgeable, professional sales associates and (3) provide our customers with state-of-the-art tools and technology.

We look forward to growing with RealLiving® and delivering the products and services to our customers that will make BOWES Real Estate RealLiving® an easy choice for all your real estate needs!

Congratulations to Mary Murray – Top Premier Service Agent!

Friday, November 5th, 2010

Posted on Quality Service Certification Website:

Top Premier Service Agent of the Month in North America

“I take a proactive approach to real estate, staying on top of services and new technology that can benefit my clients.  QSC allows me to do that by receiving their direct feedback after each and every transaction.  It’s a win-win situation. The feedback I receive from the surveys enables me to see what is important to my clients, and to fine tune my business plan to ensure I am consistently providing exceptional service.  Being Quality Service Certified allows my prospective clients to have a level of security because they can tangibly see what past clients have to say about working with me. Communication between an agent and their clients has long been the single most important factor in the success of any agent.  Taking care to maintain the communication and level of service through this program also allows me to grow and change with the market trends. Utilizing the QSC guarantee in my presentations, and the QSC widget on my website are the best sales and referral tools available.”
