Our team is steeped in the vagaries of residential real estate, so you don’t have to be!

NOHA SOLIMAN, REALTOR
Cell: (781) 369.5211 | Email: Noha.Soliman@thegillachgroup.com | LinkedIn: Noha’s Profile
Buying her first home with her husband in the Boston suburbs ignited Noha’s interest in real estate. Meeting new people and helping clients find the right house to call home is her passion. She strives to be someone in whom her clientele and colleagues can put their trust and faith. Every transaction, she believes, is always about the customer. “You are the driver, I am the passenger who’s there to guide, educate, and provide the best service possible.” She knows how to listen and is generous in offering information. While Noha is a strong negotiator and advocate for her clients, she is just as much a compassionate, friendly, humorous partner who eases a process that can often be quite stressful.
Raised in Maryland, she graduated from University of Maryland with a degree in Communications/Public Relations. Noha currently lives in Winchester and in her free time is busy baking, reading, and spending time with her loving husband and two energetic sons.
