About The RP Group - Boston Real Estate Experts
The RP Group at Compass is a Boston-based real estate team founded by Sam Reifman-Packett, Realtor at Compass, serving buyers, sellers, and investors across Greater Boston. From Downtown Boston to the suburbs, we bring neighborhood-level expertise and real-world market insight to every client interaction.
Buying or selling in Greater Boston is often one of the most meaningful financial decisions people make, and it can also be one of the most complex. At The RP Group, we combine practical market knowledge, consistent communication, and personalized strategy so you feel confident and informed at every stage of your real estate journey.
Why Local Expertise Matters
Boston’s real estate market isn’t monolithic — it’s neighborhood by neighborhood, price tier by price tier, and situation by situation. What’s normal in Back Bay can look very different in Dorchester or Cambridge. That’s why we anchor our guidance in local trends, transaction history, and community insight, not generic advice.
Our Approach
Clear, direct communication - We prioritize clarity and responsiveness so you always know where things stand.
Tailored strategy - Whether you’re a first-time buyer, experienced investor, or seller with specific timing goals, our team builds a plan that fits your needs.
Neighborhood nuance - From school districts to investment demand, we help you understand the why behind the numbers.
Support at every stage - From initial market overview to negotiation to closing, we guide you step-by-step with professionalism and care.
The RP Group at Compass includes talented real estate professionals who share a commitment to service, local expertise, and strategic thinking. Our team’s combined experience across buying, selling, leasing, and investment analysis strengthens our ability to deliver outcomes that matter to you.
Our clients appreciate our blend of market acumen, communication, and problem-solving, whether they’re navigating a fast-moving bidding environment, selling a home for the first time, or building a rental property portfolio in Boston’s dynamic neighborhoods.
