Amherst Madison - Benjamin Lane Office

THE VISION
Our Vision is a real estate brokerage whose primary function is to serve as a pillar of ideas, professionalism, and community.

A group of people who deal in humanity, not in transactions or tools. Professionals with heart.

A company built to last by people who care. Impassioned with the vitality and spirit of everything that encompasses the word “home”.

Amherst Madison was created to show people that a real estate brokerage can be more. More than the status quo. Instead, we can be connectors and creators; mavens; trusted advisors. Diligent and sincere members of a community who are more interested in building trust through lifelong relationships than in the dollar figure attached to their next sale.

People… this is a business about people and their stories. We are here to learn those stories and who knows, maybe we can even share a few of our own along the way.

OUR MISSION
People First. Purpose Next. Profits Last.

We are here to challenge the status quo, which has frankly never been good enough.

We believe clients deserve more from their REALTOR®, REALTORS® deserve more from their brokerage, and the community deserves more from us all.

REALTORS® come here because they consider themselves to be trusted advisors to their clients, and they want to put themselves in the best possible environment to ensure their success in meeting their client’s needs. They are here because they love our industry and they believe in the power of home ownership to transform lives. They are here to become the best version of themselves while seeking economic abundance.

Amherst Madison exists to build meaningful partnerships with these REALTORS® in order that, together, we may provide our clients with the experience they deserve.
