MEET YOUR BROKER

Zhichao Chen

Broker of Record · Founder, Space Realty

Zhichao founded Space Realty after spending years watching how the industry treats people — passing buyers off to junior agents, pricing listings to win the listing instead of selling the house, and answering "we'll get back to you" with three days of silence.

He built Space to do the opposite. Every client works with him directly. Every transaction goes through his desk. Every phone call gets returned.

Based in Quincy and serving all of Greater Boston and the South Shore — from Cohasset waterfronts to Back Bay brownstones to Newton Centre colonials. Cornell-educated, MA-licensed, and proudly independent.

OUR TEAM

11 licensed agents. One standard.

Each agent is independently MA-licensed and reports directly to Zhichao. No call centers, no junior hand-offs — when you call any number below, you reach a real broker. Office #AN7192 · 400 Hancock St, Quincy.

OUR STORY

Why "Space"?

A home isn't just walls and a roof. It's the space you build a life inside. Where the kids learn to walk. Where you host the holidays. Where you wake up at 2am and feel — finally — at home.

The word felt right for what we do. We help people find space. Sell space. Lease space. And eventually — when the business is ready — train the next generation of agents to do the same, and partner with contractors who build the physical space itself.

Today we're a team of 12 licensed brokers and sales agents — each holding the same principle Zhichao founded the firm on: be the broker you'd want on the other side of the table.

VALUES

How we work.

Honest counsel

We'll tell you when not to buy. When the offer's too high. When the listing's overpriced. The right deal beats any deal.

Local first

We don't dabble in 30 markets. We know Greater Boston and the South Shore — block by block, building by building.

Responsive

Texts, calls, emails — answered in hours, not days. We move at the speed buyers and sellers actually move.

Independent

No franchise overhead, no corporate scripts. Just one broker accountable to you.

Compliant

Massachusetts real estate is heavily regulated. We follow the rules, document everything, and protect you legally.

In it long-term

We're not chasing a quick deal. Most clients come back when their kids move out, parents move in, or the next chapter starts.

WHAT'S NEXT

The longer plan.

Real estate isn't just one transaction. Most homeowners eventually need an agent, a contractor, and someone who can train the next generation of professionals. Our goal is to bring all three under one trusted brand.

  • Space Academy — online education for aspiring and licensed real estate agents. Pre-licensing, continuing ed, exam prep. Built by working agents. In development.
  • Space Build — construction services arm, partnering with vetted contractors for renovations, custom new builds, and commercial buildouts. Coming soon.

For now, Realty is the main act. We'll launch the others when we can do them at the same standard.
