About The Gilardi Group

With a combined 45+ years of experience, The Gilardi Group is considered a local real estate powerhouse. Together, Executive Broker Toni Gilardi, Vice President Lauren Newton Primiano and Sales and Leasing Agent Michael Salvati serve their clients seamlessly, whether they’re first-time homebuyers, investors, developers or somewhere in between. All three team members know Boston and beyond extremely well, having lived and worked here most, if not all, of their lives.

 “We treat our clients, and each other with the utmost respect,” says Gilardi. “We support and build each other up, and that energy translates to clients.” With their tenured and vast experience, The Gilardi Group has navigated almost every transaction type, market and economy. “We think creatively to get a deal over the finish line, and we can keep clients calm and confident in our abilities,” says Primiano.

The team starts all client relationships with a deep dive on goals and motivations, reviewing market trends and outlining next steps. Thanks to their broad experience, the group was able to pivot easily during the pandemic. This flexibility and service level is part of why they’re award winners, both personally and professionally. The team has been a Gibson Sotheby’s Top Producer every year since 2015, and Gilardi won a Fred Carangelo Humanitarian Award and two Good Neighbor awards for her dedication to philanthropic efforts in the North End/Waterfront area.

Community-minded, as well as client-focused, this team prioritizes their clients and relationships above all else. “We go the extra mile from start to finish,” says Gilardi. “We’re establishing lifelong, generational relationships and look forward to continue growing our network.”
