Real Estate Company in Osterville

We are the Freitas Monteforte Group at Compass, a real estate company serving Osterville, MA (02655) and the greater Mid-Cape. Livia Freitas Monteforte leads the team as Senior Vice President, Broker, and Founding Partner. Our focus sits on Cape Cod waterfront and estate property, and we work as a team rather than a single agent stretched thin. That structure means most clients reach a senior voice quickly, while a bench of agents keeps the deal moving behind them. The fit tends to be strongest for buyers and sellers of waterfront, estate, and second homes across Osterville, Centerville, and Cotuit.

The Short Answer

Comparing one Osterville real estate agency to another, a few factors separate the strong local firms from the rest.

What to weigh	Why it matters here
Waterfront expertise	Shoreline exposure, flood zones, and docks swing value more than list price
Local market read	Village and waterfront homes price very differently street to street
Team depth	A real team answers fast, while a solo agent can go dark mid-deal

How We Help

Those same factors shape the daily work once a sale begins. Osterville property rewards specifics: shoreline exposure, flood and dock considerations, and the gap between a renovation and a teardown on a prized lot. We bring waterfront and estate experience to each of those questions, paired with the Compass marketing and technology platform. The result gives our listings reach well beyond the Cape while keeping the hands-on service that closes sales here.

Buyers lean on us to read a property's long-term value instead of its asking price alone. Sellers get pricing, preparation, and positioning grounded in how buyers actually evaluate local homes. For clients relocating from out of state or abroad, our bilingual English and Portuguese support takes some friction out of a process that is already stressful.

Who We Serve

That bilingual support matters because our clients arrive from a wide radius. We serve Osterville, Centerville, Cotuit, and the greater Mid-Cape, and many clients reach us from Boston and the South Coast near New Bedford. A large share of our business is referral-based, which brings us people who value trust and follow-through.

Client type	How we serve them
Waterfront and estate owners	Discreet, high-touch luxury sales
Second-home and relocation buyers	Market read from out of state or abroad
New-construction purchasers	Lot and build analysis before a commitment
Mid-Cape sellers	Pricing and prep grounded in real buyer behavior

Luanne Zingarelli

January 2026

Their proactive and professional approach was impressive, and they worked hard to get exposure to potential buyers despite the slow real estate market that we were experiencing.

She’s very knowledgeable, easy to work with, and often knew about things going on the market before they were listed.

Why It Matters

Referrals keep coming when the results hold up. We rank in the top 1.5% of agents nationwide and are recognized by RealTrends as the number 1 team in Barnstable, distinctions earned on performance rather than tenure. Some clients who closed with us a year ago still call for advice, and that loyalty is the engine behind our referral book.

Strengths we lean on:

Deep Cape Cod waterfront and estate specialization
A full team of agents, so service rarely stalls
National platform reach paired with local, in-village service

Trade-offs we are upfront about:

We concentrate on the Mid-Cape and decline most work far outside it
We prize fit over volume, so we take on clients selectively

Many clients come to us worried that a large brokerage will feel impersonal. We answer that by pairing the Compass platform with a local team you can reach directly. An old waterfront estate or a complicated lot is exactly where that combination earns its keep.
