Our Team’s Favorite School Subjects

September in Greater Boston brings school buses and fresh notebooks. We asked the Santana Team which subjects they loved in school and how those early interests still shape the way we serve buyers and sellers in Somerville, Cambridge, Arlington, Medford, and beyond.

How our favorites show up in real estate

Math • Hudson

Numbers equal investments. Hudson has been running the numbers since day one, helping clients make confident, wealth-building decisions.

Art • Liz

Staging queen in training long before Pinterest existed. Liz’s eye makes listings shine online and in person so buyers can picture life in the space.

Gym • Zack

Whether it is hockey or Boston real estate, Zack is always competing. That drive shows up at the negotiating table and in every offer strategy.

Algebra • Terry

Precise, methodical, and always solving for x. As CFO, Terry makes sure every number adds up for our business and for our clients.

Science • Emily

Teaching, testing, and learning new things has always been her formula. Emily brings curiosity and clear systems to operations and strategy.

English • Morgan

From grammar to closings, Morgan makes sure every detail lines up. Clear communication keeps transactions smooth from offer to keys.

History • Joanna

The past predicts the market. Joanna uses local trends and comps to guide smart pricing and timing.

Geometry • Victoria

Angles matter in class and in the market. Victoria finds the right approach for every client, from winning offers to polished listing prep.

Literature • Swati

A deep reader of stories who now helps clients write their own. Every home is a new chapter and she is there for the full arc.

Psychology • Katrina

Master of patience and multitasking, whether with clients or four kids at home. Katrina brings empathy and focus to each step of the process.

Social Studies • Carlos

Rooted in people and community, caring first and closings second. Carlos makes buying or selling collaborative and low stress.

Technology • Mike

Always curious about systems and solutions that make things work better. Mike blends tech with strategy so clients stay a step ahead.

Economics • Marco

Deal-focused and always calculating what makes sense. Marco’s financial lens helps clients move with clarity and confidence.
