🎄✨ The Magic of The Polar Express Returns to The Cabot! ✨🎄
All aboard! 🚂❄️ I’m sponsoring The Polar Express at The Cabot again this year and, no surprise, the lower level is nearly sold out (only singles left). If you’re looking for seats together, grab what’s left in the upper back balcony while you can.

🎁 I pre-purchased a 4-pack of premium seats to give away to my followers. Contest details are coming soon! In the meantime, like this post, share it, and follow my page so you don’t miss it.

Sponsoring this heartwarming event in Beverly, Massachusetts is something close to my heart. I love shining a light on the people and traditions that make Beverly such a wonderful place to call home. ❤️

This beloved Beverly tradition began in 2017 in memory of Isabella Rose Marino, whose joyful spirit continues to inspire smiles each holiday season. Families arrive in their pajamas, sip cocoa, meet Santa, and watch the snow fall right inside the theater as the movie ends. It’s a reminder of why living in Beverly feels so special, it’s a place where neighbors come together and memories are made. ❄️

I’ll have a table at the event again this year with a mailbox that delivers straight to the North Pole and Santa has promised to write back to every child! 🎅 I’ll also be raffling off a signed copy of The Polar Express.

📅 Sunday, December 7
📍 The Cabot, Beverly MA

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Bring the family to meet Santa, play games, and enjoy “The Polar Express” on the big screen.

🧦 Dress code: coziest PJs encouraged!

💗 Proceeds support The Isabella Marino Charitable Fund.

🎟️ Tickets sell out quickly! Grab yours soon and be part of this magical community event!

✨ What’s your favorite holiday tradition? Do you have a movie you watch every year or a memory that makes the season bright? Share it below. I’d love to hear how your family celebrates!

🌊Women Supporting Women with a View

The view from the 3rd floor at Mission Boathouse is just stunning! Look at that sunlight reflecting off the ocean! 🌅

We’re so grateful that Mission Boathouse graciously allows our Women’s Business League, Beverly Chapter to meet here twice a month. It’s the perfect spot for connection and inspiration.

💡 Fun fact: Mission Boathouse will be serving a traditional Thanksgiving meal this year! Visit their website to make your reservation before they sell out, it’s sure to be delicious. 🦃

As the Chapter Leader, I’m so proud of how our group continues to grow every month. This isn’t your typical networking group where everyone feels pressured to trade referrals. First and foremost, we’re a community of strong, entrepreneurial women striving to find balance between work, home, and life.

We come together twice a month right here in Beverly to share our expertise, learn from one another, and build real friendships all while cheering each other on every step of the way. 💕

And yes, the referrals happen naturally, too. 😉

If you’ve been looking for a dynamic group of local women to connect with, this might be the perfect fit. You don’t have to live or work in Beverly to join us, and we accept one business type per chapter.

✨ Reach out to me for an invitation to one of our upcoming meetings, as Chapter Leader, I’d love to welcome you in!

🌟 Better in Beverly: Worthy Girl
Welcome to the first episode of my new series, Better in Beverly, where I highlight the people, places, and stories that make Beverly such a special place to live. 💛

This episode of Better in Beverly takes us to Worthy Girl, one of my favorite retail clothing shops, right here in the heart of Beverly. If you’ve followed me for a while, you already know my love for Worthy Girl runs deep. At any given time, I’m probably wearing something from there, today it’s my NorthFace house shoes (new with tags!), a cozy teddy cardigan, and my favorite Free People flare jeans - all from Worthy Girl.

Pam, who is the co-owner with her partner Jonah, shared how they got started and why they chose Beverly.

I love that this Beverly consignment boutique makes it easy to try new styles and brands at a fraction of the price, often with pieces that are brand new. Their Thursday night live sales on Instagram are a must-watch, fun, fast, and full of great finds. Laila and I love tuning in together, and she even got to co-host a live sale with the famous Felecia! (Laila has already decided Worthy Girl will be her first job. 💕)

There are so many ways to support a local Beverly business. Share a post, leave a Google review, comment, tag, or tell a friend. Start with this one! 🙌

🎥 Watch to hear the two questions I ask every Beverly business owner in this new series.


Better in Beverly is a community spotlight series by Diantha Phothisan, a Beverly native and real estate advisor with Engel & Völkers By The Sea. She loves connecting people, supporting small businesses, and helping others find their place in this incredible North Shore community.

🌿 Homeownership Dreams Do Come True 🌿
When this couple first reached out, they’d been thinking about buying a home on the North Shore for a couple of years. They wanted someone local, someone deeply connected to the Beverly community and experienced enough to guide them confidently through the process. I came recommended, and after my name came up a few more times, they decided to reach out.

At our first meeting (at ☕️), they weren’t even sure homeownership in Massachusetts was possible anymore. Interest rates had climbed and home prices had risen fast. Life had changed. New jobs in Cambridge and Bedford.

But once they decided to move forward with me, we rolled up our sleeves together. I shared local Beverly real estate market research, helped them see what was realistic, and soon we were viewing homes that truly fit their goals. Then this sunny Wakefield MA home with space for a home office, a catio/sun porch, garage parking, and a grassy backyard all tucked in a quiet neighborhood hit the market.

✨ It was everything they’d hoped for, just not in Beverly. We acted fast, and now it's theirs.

Wishing these two all the love and joy their hearts can hold as they start this new chapter as homeowners. 🏡💛

I serve my clients wherever they decide to land, personally when in Massachusetts, and globally, through my network of trusted real estate advisors.

If you’re considering buying or selling a home in Beverly, or just curious about what’s possible, I’d love to be your guide and connection to this incredible community. If you've been thinking about moving from Boston or Cambridge to Beverly, here’s what makes this North Shore gem so special: Beverly has four commuter rail stops, seven beaches, a vibrant downtown, and offers larger homes and yards than you’ll often find closer to the city, all while keeping that seaside charm.

Laila the devil at Beverly Middle School's Boo Bash (thank you for capturing the fun) and Laila the dragon 6 years ago - that cutie little face 😍

Halloween is such a nostalgic time for me. It's the one holiday I have multiple clear memories of. Like the year Scott changed his costume like a million times because Cody would not stop copying him - despite Scott's efforts, they each went as the Red Power Ranger. 😂 Or the next year when Scott wanted to be Batman and rolled his eyes in every photo because Cody copied him. Each person that said "oh look, it's Batman", Cody would loudly add, "and baby Batman" and Scott's eyes would roll again.

It was also the one time of year that my dad literally got to take over a part of our store, Casa de Moda. He went a little crazy with Halloween and even attended the trade shows to decide what to buy for the season for the customers. I think I remember him talking about wanting an electric chair after he came back once. He always dressed up and enjoyed scaring as many customers as he could, all month long. Did he ever get you?

Even our trick or treating is nostalgic. We take Laila with my parents in the Prospect Hill neighborhood of Beverly, where they still live, and some of the same neighbors that gave me candy as a kid now fill her pumpkin! Oh, and Mrs. Dodge and all those times my dad used us to ring the bell so he could hide and jump out and scare her. Or the Rushtons and the cork boards of photos they used to display from kids in costume over the years.

Do you have fun Halloween memories? I'd love to hear about them. I have too many to share!

Happy Halloween! Be safe out there and btw, happy to accept your milk dud donations. ❤️🎃

✨ Better in Beverly ✨
My goal has always been to be your trusted resource for all things Beverly - not just for real estate.
I’m a connector at heart, and I love shining a light on the people, places, flavors and services that make this city special.

You’ll see two questions I ask every guest, and I think you’ll love their answers as much as I do.

Whether you already call Beverly home or you’re dreaming about moving from Boston or Cambridge to the North Shore for more space, bigger yards, beaches, and great restaurants, I hope this series helps you see what makes Beverly such a wonderful place to live.

🌿 Every Home Has a Story. This One Began with Friendship and Community

I first met these clients during COVID, when our daughters were in remote kindergarten together. Later, they were on the same soccer team and I discovered that my client’s mom was one of my first babysitters! Beverly truly is one degree of separation, and that’s one of the many reasons I love living and working here. 💛

When it came time for this family to re-evaluate their home needs, they trusted me to guide them. Having space for grandparents was a top priority. Once we found and secured their next home, it was time to prepare their beloved home at 7 Oxford Terrace in Beverly, Massachusetts for sale - a place filled with joy, laughter, and years of family memories.

Letting go of a home you’ve loved is never easy, but thoughtful preparation and a clear plan made all the difference. My clients and I began this process back in July. Over the following months, we carefully refined every detail before hitting the market:

🔹 150+ postcards mailed to neighbors
🔹 Broker tour before public launch to connect with qualified buyers early
🔹 Targeted email, text, and phone outreach to local agents
🔹 Social media marketing, videos, and neighborhood promotion
🔹 Two public open houses and multiple private showings

The result? 5 offers within 3 days of the first open house and thrilled parties on both sides.

For me, real estate is about more than listings and offers. It’s about connection, trust, and helping people make the best move for their lifestyle. I help homeowners throughout Beverly MA and the North Shore explore all their options, whether that’s keeping a home as an investment, reconfiguring it to fit new needs, or selling to make a change.

If your home no longer fits, or you’re thinking about finding your next chapter in Beverly, MA, let’s talk about your goals and map out a smart, strategic plan together.

I was showing this beautiful Beverly home all weekend, and it was nonstop! The interest has been amazing, and it’s easy to see why. With water views, a wraparound deck, and a private fenced yard just steps from Independence Park, it truly feels like a coastal retreat right in town. 🌅
Offers are due today at 4PM. It’s been such a fun and busy weekend showcasing this special property!

✨ Offer Accepted! ✨

Every home has its own story, and I’m grateful to have been part of this one here in Beverly, Massachusetts.

Before the “For Sale” sign even went up, my clients and I worked closely for month, evaluating whether to sell while still living in the home or after moving out, and finding the perfect balance between using their own furniture and professional staging. We brought in my interior design firm for a consultation and my trusted and vetted contracts and refinished the wood floors, installed new hardwood and laminate, replaced carpet, freshened landscaping, painted the interior, and tackled handyman projects big and small.

We hosted a broker tour, a private neighbors’ open house, two public open houses (co-hosted with a loan officer), mailed 300+ postcards, and hand-delivered 50 invitations.

The result?
🔹 Incredible social media reach!! Views, saves, and clicks that far exceeded similar listings
🔹 Multiple offers
🔹 Happy sellers and excited buyers ❤❤

My Beverly real estate marketing strategy goes beyond MLS and open houses. It’s about storytelling, presentation, and connection. The right preparation, pricing, and promotion create results like this one.

If you’re thinking about selling your home in Beverly MA, or planning to buy and sell at the same time anywhere on the North Shore or Greater Boston area, let’s talk about how to make your move strategically and with confidence.

💬 And stay tuned: I have another Beverly home for sale coming on the market tomorrow near the beach, with a spacious yard and that coastal charm everyone loves.
