Constance Cervone and Janet Deegan have lived and worked selling real estate in Boston and Jamaica Plain for over 20 years. We fell in love with this diverse urban village and have committed our personal and professional lives to the community and its environs. Though it is set in the heart of Boston’s greenest neighborhood, its proximity to the city offers a spectrum of resources and the appeal of a major metropolitan area. It is a virtual oasis giving all of us who live here a quality of life rare in most cities.

Equally, we value the diversity that is reflected in the people — a mix of backgrounds, lifestyles, and cultures making Jamaica Plain traditional and progressive in ways perhaps unlike any other community. We love the strong sense of kinship felt by the individuals who are our neighbors, clients and friends. We own a home together on Moss Hill and live with Ruby, our angora black and white kitty who enjoys the lush, green spaces of JP as much as we do.

The Cervone/Deegan Team is committed to the quality of life in Jamaica Plain and are active in neighborhood art and civic associations. Constance participated in the first initiatives to begin recycling in Jamaica Plain nearly 20 years ago and served in leadership roles on the Board of the Jamaica Plain Arts Council for over a decade. Janet is a member of the Jamaica Plain Historical Society, which serves to keep vibrant the notable history in Jamaica Plain. Some of our mutual memberships include Friends of the Arnold Arboretum, the Franklin Park Coalition and the Jamaica Hills Association.

We have found a shared connection of work and community enriches our lives and mirrors our collaborative approach with clients and colleagues. Home and work are integrated in our lives in a way that living elsewhere could not offer us. Our love of architecture and nature has found a more-than-worthy dwelling in our living and working In Jamaica Plain and we are grateful that we can draw from such a treasure trove to contribute to our lives and our business. For us it is deeply meaningful to play a pivotal role in helping people achieve their dream of home in such a vital and extraordinary setting.
