Rolling Up Their Sleeves
On a recent, unseasonably chilly spring morning, Brent Berc crouched on a Beacon Hill sidewalk, applying rust-treatment paint to an iron garden fence along Joy Street, trying to avoid getting any on the bricks beneath. He isn’t part of a maintenance crew or neighborhood association — he’s a founding partner at Boston Real Estate Collaborative LLC, and he serves on the Board of Trustees of Rogerson Communities.
