For the five three years, Lisa has lead the Real Estate Team of Lindsay Allison and Lisa May which now includes a dedicated assistant. Lisa came to real estate with a background in marketing, fund-raising, and design. She worked in development for institutions including Harvard University, Children's Hospital, and The Museum of Fine Arts. Through her experiences, Lisa came to understand the importance of personal relationships to nurturing philanthropy. Each donor was different and had a different relationship with the institution, requiring individualized consideration. Today, Lisa applies her exceptional sensitivity to people's needs and interests to the complex and very personal process of buying and selling homes. She offers a seasoned but creative perspective on how to market real estate and is an exceptionally insightful communicator, with a remarkable ability to solve problems and see every transaction through to the end, adding value at each stage along the way. A resident of Belmont, Lisa lives with her husband, Tevere MacFadyen, and two children, Christopher and Sam. She is involved with the community and schools in Belmont as a parent, a citizen and a resident.
