On Wednesday, we told you about Mistress of the Universe Tracy Campion, she of the $179 million in Back Bay luxury home sales. A taste of that telling, via a scrumptious profile by Rachel Slade for Boston Magazine:
Tracy Campion digs in her bag for the keys to a pristine, $4.5 million Back Bay townhouse. It’s something she’s done roughly 15 times a day over the past 25 years, which adds up to something like 130,000 frenzied searches. Campion finally spies the set at the bottom of her purse. Juggling brochures, her phone, and a Post-It note scrawled with the home’s security code, she fiddles with the lock on the front door, then deactivates the alarm. She doesn’t have much time. Prospective buyers, a fiftysomething couple relocating from Connecticut, are on their way, so Campion sprints through the 4,000-square-foot home in snakeskin stilettos, flicking on the lights as she goes. Climbing flight after flight of Boston’s finest housing stock does have its benefits: Campion, a Diet Coke chain drinker, has the legs of a Wonderland greyhound.
Even more delicious were Boston's examples of Campion's luxury real estate conquests, almost all of them in Back Bay. Let's wet our beaks, shall we?
