Benjamin Realty is a family-run real estate brokerage based in Brookline, founded in 1998 by broker Ben Spunt (Massachusetts broker license 9025222-RE-B). We represent people selling and buying homes across Greater Boston and MetroWest.
27 homes are for sale in Manchester-by-the-Sea today: 24 single-family houses, 1 condo and 2 multi-family buildings. The median asking price is $1,490,000, and prices run from $875,000 to $17,500,000. Single-family homes are asking a median $645 per square foot of living area.

As your listing agent: pricing, marketing and negotiating the sale of your home or condo. We price from the same public record shown on our Manchester-by-the-Sea seller page: recent sales, assessed values and the homes yours would compete with.
If you’ve had a cash offer, we’ll tell you what the home would likely bring on the market so you can compare.
As your buyer’s agent: buyer representation from the first showing to the closing. 27 homes are for sale in Manchester-by-the-Sea now, from $875,000 to $17,500,000.
Before we tour homes together, we’ll agree in writing what you’ll pay us and what we’ll do for you. (NAR, written buyer agreements)
Tell us whether you’re buying, selling or both, and we’ll set up a time to talk. Meetings are by appointment, at the property or wherever suits you. Call (617) 734-5050 or email [email protected].
Commissions are “not set by law and are fully negotiable”: that’s the wording the National Association of Realtors now requires in every written buyer agreement. The fee goes into your listing agreement (selling) or buyer agreement (buying), so ask for it in writing before you sign either. (NAR, written buyer agreements)
Since August 17, 2024, agents who are Realtors need a written agreement with a buyer before touring a home with them. It must say what the buyer’s agent will be paid, and the agent can’t be paid more than that. A seller may still offer to pay the buyer’s agent, with the seller’s written approval, but the offer can’t be posted on the MLS. (NAR, written buyer agreements; NAR, what the settlement means for sellers)
At your first personal meeting about a specific home, a Massachusetts agent must give you the state’s Mandatory Licensee-Consumer Relationship Disclosure. It says whether they’ll act as the seller’s agent, the buyer’s agent or a facilitator, and explains designated and dual agency; dual agency needs your written consent. (254 CMR 3.00(13); Mass. agency disclosure form)
We’re based in Brookline, about 25 miles from Manchester-by-the-Sea. We work across Greater Boston and MetroWest. If you’re looking somewhere else in Massachusetts, ask, and we’ll tell you plainly whether we can help.

Days listed count from when our MLS feed first listed each home; homes already on the market when the feed began (July 2026) count from then. Listing information from MLS Property Information Network (MLS PIN), deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Assessed values and recorded sales are public records from municipal assessors (via MassGIS). An assessed value is set for taxation and may differ from market value; sales are those recorded at a price near the assessed value, so gifts and family transfers are left out.
