Liz Tavares, Esq. joined the team in 2017, previously working as an Office Manager in a boutique real estate office, where she conducted research on commercial properties, and acted as a sales and leasing agent, as well as an advisor, coordinating with lenders and attorneys to negotiate the best terms for her clients.  Prior to that, for 30 years in the Massachusetts Trial Court, Liz most recently served as Chief Administrator in Probation Service, developing and negotiating policies across all professional levels, upholding compliance with local, state, and federal guidelines, presiding over disciplinary and grievance hearings, devising workforce reduction strategies and program implementation and overseeing a budget of $118 million.

It is this comprehensive experience that Liz seamlessly applies when guiding and negotiating the best commercial real estate deals for her clients.
