About Your Property Manager

Meet Lindsay Higgins

I'm a licensed Massachusetts real estate broker, Charlestown resident, and the founder of the Charlestown Women's Club. I've helped dozens of local and out-of-state condo owners turn their properties into well-run, income-generating rentals — without the stress.

I know Charlestown's streets, buildings, and rental market better than anyone. When you work with me, you get a hands-on local partner who responds quickly, handles the details, and treats your property like it's my own.

Whether you're moving across town or relocating to another state, I make the transition to landlord smooth, compliant, and — dare I say — easy.

"I moved out but I'm not ready to sell."

Keeping your Charlestown condo as a rental lets you preserve equity, maintain your low mortgage rate, and generate income while the market works in your favor.

"I want to keep my low interest rate."

Renting instead of selling is one of the smartest financial moves in today's rate environment. I'll help you price it right from day one.

"I live out of state and need someone local."

I am in Charlestown. I know the buildings, the market, and the tenants. You get a responsive local partner — even if you're in a different time zone.

"I'm a first-time landlord and feel overwhelmed."

Massachusetts landlord-tenant law is nuanced. I walk you through every step — pricing, screening, lease signing, and move-in — so you start right.

What Clients Are Saying

Real Charlestown Owners. Real Results.

★★★★★

With our family growing, my husband and I made the tough decision to leave Charlestown and rent out our condo. As first-time landlords, we weren't sure where to start, but Lindsay guided us through the entire process. She handled everything from beginning to end and answered every question, no matter the time of day. Responsive, knowledgeable, and lovely to work with!

Victoria Smiley-Mukherjee
★★★★★

We recently relocated to the West Coast for work and needed someone to rent out our condo in Charlestown and manage it since we're in another time zone. She successfully rented out the condo, securing great tenants for us. She's incredibly easy to work with, very responsive, and takes care of all of the details.

Ingrid Fowler
★★★★★

My wife and I own a condo in Charlestown and, after moving out of the city, we needed to find tenants. We worked with Lindsay from The Market, and they made the process seamless! If you're considering renting out your home, I highly recommend them.

Ritesh Mukherjee

I typically handle renting out my property without any help of a realtor, but decided to give Lindsay a try. She coordinated showings, screened tenants on my behalf and prepared all the lease documents. She was professional, reliable and always in communication with me.

Common Questions

Questions First-Time Landlords Ask

Straightforward answers to help you decide if property management is right for you.

Charlestown rental prices depend on your unit's size, floor, finishes, and building amenities. As of recent market data, 1-bedroom condos typically rent between $2,400–$3,200/month, and 2-bedrooms from $3,200–$4,500+. The best way to get an accurate number is to request a free rental value estimate — I'll pull current comparables and give you a real-world range, not a guess.
This depends on your financial goals, tax situation, and timeline. If you have a low mortgage rate, renting often makes more sense than selling — you keep the equity, generate monthly income, and preserve your options. I'm happy to walk you through the numbers so you can make an informed decision.
A property manager handles everything after you decide to rent — pricing, marketing, screening applicants, preparing the lease, coordinating move-in, collecting rent, managing maintenance, and communicating with tenants on your behalf. I run the day-to-day so you don't have to think about it.
Every applicant goes through a thorough screening process: credit check, income verification (typically 2.5–3x monthly rent), employment verification, prior landlord references, and rental history review. Massachusetts has specific laws around what landlords can and cannot consider — I make sure the process is rigorous and fully compliant.
I do. I coordinate all maintenance requests with a trusted network of local Charlestown vendors. For routine repairs, I handle it and keep you informed. For larger issues, I'll get quotes and only proceed with your approval. You won't be fielding calls about a leaky faucet at midnight.
Rent is collected online through a secure tenant portal, with automated reminders for timely payment. Funds are deposited directly into your preferred bank account. You'll also receive monthly financial statements so you always know exactly where things stand.
Yes. Massachusetts has specific landlord-tenant laws governing security deposits, last month's rent, habitability, and notice periods. A generic lease can expose you to significant legal risk. I prepare compliant leases that protect you as the owner — including required disclosures and any condo association rules that apply.
Out-of-state owners are some of my most common clients. Many Charlestown owners relocate for work or family and need a local, responsive manager on the ground. I work across time zones, keep you updated proactively, and handle every in-person responsibility. You don't need to fly back to Boston to manage your rental.
In a well-priced Charlestown unit, it's common to have qualified applicants within the first week or two of marketing. The Boston rental market is active and Charlestown remains highly desirable. Pricing correctly from the start is the biggest factor in leasing speed — which is why the free rental value estimate is such a useful first step.
The easiest way is to request a free rental value estimate using the form on this page. I'll review your property details and follow up with a market-based rent range and next steps — no pressure, no obligation. You can also call or text me directly at 781-789-2740.
