About Ethan Piani-Hohmann

For most people, buying or selling a home is the largest financial decision of their life. Ethan Piani-Hohmann treats it that way, and the people who hire him feel the difference from the first conversation.

He is the founder and broker of PH Realty Group and a licensed Massachusetts real estate broker (license #9630770), leading a boutique brokerage serving Newton, Watertown, Waltham, Belmont, Arlington, Cambridge, Brookline, Somerville, and Brighton, representing sellers, buyers, and investors across residential home sales, luxury condominiums, and multifamily and investment property. A Watertown resident and finance graduate of the Isenberg School of Management at UMass Amherst, where he concentrated in financial analysis, Ethan approaches every deal the way an analyst approaches a position: with the numbers in front of him and nothing left to chance.

A Track Record That Speaks for Itself

Over roughly six years and hundreds of closed transactions, Ethan has earned more than 135 five-star reviews and built one of Greater Boston's most trusted boutique brokerages. His sellers consistently beat their asking price; one recent Newton home sold for $180,000 over asking with an all-cash, no-contingency offer that closed in two weeks. His rental listings lease in days, not weeks, and often above asking, with a Watertown unit listed at $5,000 leasing for $5,500 in three days, and a Newton unit listed at $3,200 drawing nine applications and leasing for $3,500 in four. The pattern is not luck. It is the product of preparation, pricing, and a process run the same way every time.

A Modern, Data Driven Brokerage

That discipline is what sets him apart. Where most brokers still run on habit, gut, and whatever worked a decade ago, Ethan has built a modern operation around data, sharp marketing, and the best technology available, AI included. The tools are never the point. They exist for one reason, to surface the right price, the right buyer, and the right move faster and more precisely than the competition, so his clients capture every dollar and every advantage on the table.

Built on Systems, With Oversight on Every Deal

What truly sets PH Realty Group apart is that nothing is left to chance or to whoever happens to pick up the phone. Ethan has built the brokerage around documented, repeatable systems that cover every stage of a transaction, from pricing and pre-market preparation to marketing, showings, tenant and buyer screening, negotiation, and closing. Every agent on the team runs the same step-by-step playbook, so the standard of work stays identical from one client to the next. And Ethan personally oversees every transaction the firm handles, reviewing pricing, strategy, and the critical decision points where deals are won or lost. Clients get the best of both worlds: the reliability of a proven system and the judgment of a broker whose name and reputation ride on every result, a level of quality control the high volume teams structurally cannot match.

A Full Service Brokerage

The firm works across the full range of Greater Boston real estate: representing sellers and buyers in residential and luxury condominium sales, helping investors acquire and operate multifamily and investment property, placing tenants and leasing units at top dollar, and providing full service property management for rental owners. Whatever the goal, the same disciplined process applies.

What It Is Like to Work With Ethan

The result is a client experience that feels less like hiring an agent and more like having a sharp, relentless operator in your corner, one who has read the contract, run the numbers, and planned three moves ahead before you have even asked the question.

"Ethan is the best agent I've ever worked with. He has strong communication, he's attentive, responsive, and extraordinarily knowledgeable. I couldn't be happier with my decision to work with Ethan and his team." — David F.

Whether you are selling a home you have owned for thirty years, buying in a market that punishes hesitation, or building an investment portfolio one deal at a time, Ethan's standard never changes: protect your position, execute at the highest level, and treat your goal as the only outcome that counts.
