Framingham and MetroWest Boston real estate expert helping buyers, sellers & relocations across the U.S.

Your trusted Framingham and MetroWest Boston real estate expert—delivering results locally and connecting clients nationwide.

I am Robert “Rob” Fontaine, REALTOR® with ERA Key Realty Services, proudly serving clients across Framingham, MetroWest Boston, and the Greater Boston real estate market. With over $24 million in career sales volume, I work with a wide range of clients—from first-time homebuyers entering the Boston market, to homeowners downsizing into 55+ communities, to clients buying and selling distinctive and luxury properties.

Before transitioning into residential real estate, I spent nearly three decades in the insurance and investigations industries, where I developed advanced skills in negotiation, problem-solving, and client advocacy. Today, I leverage that experience to help buyers and sellers make confident, informed decisions during one of the most important financial transactions of their lives.

I earned my BA in Communications from the University of New Hampshire, with minors in Sociology and Criminal Justice, and have proudly called the MetroWest area home for over 30 years. My deep local knowledge allows me to guide clients with valuable insight into market trends, neighborhoods, and property values throughout Framingham and surrounding communities.

My commitment to client success has been recognized with multiple Top E-Commerce Awards, along with Circle of Achievement and Circle of Honor Awards. These honors reflect not only strong sales performance, but a consistent dedication to delivering results and exceptional client service.

Clients consistently describe me as responsive, detail-oriented, and highly attentive throughout every step of the process. I pride myself on clear communication, quick follow-up, and providing in-depth market insights, ensuring my clients feel informed and confident from start to finish. Known for a patient, no-pressure approach, I take the time to truly understand each client’s goals while advocating strongly on their behalf during negotiations.

Whether working with first-time buyers, relocations, or downsizing clients (55+), I am committed to delivering a smooth, seamless, and results-driven experience— going above and beyond to ensure every transaction is smooth and successful.

In addition to serving clients locally, I maintain a strong network of trusted real estate professionals and can connect buyers and sellers with top agents anywhere in the United States, ensuring you or your referrals receive the same high level of service no matter where life takes you.

Outside of real estate, I’m a dedicated family man and sports enthusiast. You’ll often find me cheering on my son in hockey, golf, and lacrosse, or enjoying time boating, golfing, and skiing with family and friends throughout MetroWest and the New Hampshire Lakes Region.
