[MassHistPres] site / resource of historic homes for sale?

[Dennis De Witt]

Let me be as clear as I can be.  He calls his firm "Historic Homes" because that is what he specializes in.

I also understood that the enquiry was about the possibility of a listing site of some sort.  This might not have been the perfect answer, but a broker who attracts clients interest in historic homes is, in fact, an important resources and preservation tool.  Had the important Emerson house in Weston been marketed through such a broker it might not now be under threat of demolition.
