BIRCH Properties is a modern real estate firm that synthesizes the warmth of a small-town brokerage with the agility of a startup and the heart of its founder, Selina Lamb. Though we’re tech-forward in temperament, we’re connectors at heart who work tirelessly to ensure that you can start the next growing season of your life on fertile soil. You’ll find in equal measure our unparalleled follow-through and attention to every detail, win-win negotiations, and deep analysis and perspective — all punctuated by a fun, relaxed style.
Buying or selling, you’ll benefit from our comprehensive knowledge of the Berkshires, expansive international network, and fierce dedication to your bottom line. As buyer’s agents, we’re caring, sensitive advisers who guide you to the people and places that will help you make this region yours. As seller’s agents, we’re expert marketers who get your property more views, visits, and offers.
BIRCH Properties’ roots, however, go far deeper than the tools and techniques we use to achieve our clients’ goals. Real estate, to us, is about the well-being of others. We understand the challenges of transitioning from one home to another and assist you with compassion and experience through every aspect of your move. From start to finish and long after, we stand ready to serve, always with a positive, upbeat attitude and an in-depth consideration of your needs.
ABOUT SELINA
Selina Lamb is a study in contrasts — analytical yet creative, fun yet serious-minded, easygoing yet a fierce marketer and negotiator. She synthesizes years of experience in Berkshires' real estate; a liberal arts education from Williams College; a successful career at top U.S. fashion houses; and experience founding a nationally recognized landscape design firm into a real estate consultancy that centers around client well-being. Repeats and referrals comprise 98% of her business, and review after review mentions her market knowledge, vast network, warm sense of humor, and presence in her clients’ lives long after the deal has closed.
As a real estate partner, Selina aims to make people feel at home during each moment of the transaction, whether they’re seeking residential, commercial, or land development opportunities. A longtime Berkshires resident, she works tirelessly to plug her buyers into the community, ensuring they have every professional and resource they need to create fulfilling lives here. In addition, she leverages her expansive global network and marketing expertise to get her sellers’ properties maximum views, visits, and offers. Her future-forward service features tech, design, analysis, and humanity in equal measure — making it highly personalized and undeniably modern.
Selina’s unique approach comes from the circuitous path that brought her to real estate and back to the Berkshires. After graduating from Williams, Selina held executive roles for the likes of Tommy Hilfiger, J. Crew, and Polo Ralph Lauren. During that time, she would escape to her Berkshire house on weekends to find delight in her garden, which inspired her to earn a graduate degree in site planning and landscape design. She eventually let go of her New York City address permanently and founded her acclaimed landscape design firm, which has been featured by Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, and HGTV.
Selina’s design experience makes her an expert in envisioning clear and practicable solutions for presenting properties to their very best advantage, from staging to photography and beyond. For buyers and sellers, her wide breadth of knowledge of local regulations and permitting processes make her an invaluable resource.
Beyond real estate, Selina serves on the Williams College Parents Fund Committee and co-chaired the Emma Willard School Parents Fund Committee. In addition to gardening, she enjoys painting, skiing, and playing tennis.
