About Michael Niden
As a proud third-generation resident of Needham, I’ve had the privilege of watching my hometown grow into a thriving part of MetroWest Boston—while preserving the close-knit spirit that makes it so special. With deep roots and decades of community involvement, I bring a unique and valuable perspective to the local real estate market.
My in-depth knowledge of Needham’s neighborhoods, zoning and conservation regulations, schools, businesses, and civic organizations gives my clients a distinct advantage. When you work with me, you gain more than a real estate advisor—you gain a trusted local expert committed to your success.
Since 2018, I’ve focused on delivering a boutique-level, highly personalized experience. Whether you’re buying, selling, or investing, I tailor every step of the process to meet your specific goals. My approach is grounded in clear communication, strategic marketing, and up-to-the-minute industry insights—all backed by proven sales expertise.
That sales acumen traces back to my entrepreneurial roots. While at Needham High School, I launched a painting business that funded my degree at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. After college, I joined Xerox Corporation, where I was nationally recognized as a two-time recipient of the Top U.S. Sales Representative Award. I bring the same dedication, drive, and integrity to my real estate practice—always working to earn your trust, your referrals, and your repeat business for years to come.
I am also an active member of the Needham community:
Founder Great Hall Concert Series
Founder Jazz in the Sanctuary
Member Needham Board of Assessors
Former member Needham Council for Arts and Culture
President of the Citizens for the Preservation of Town Hall
Resident Manager of the new NC Wyeth Research Foundation and Library
Needham Town Meeting Member
Past Board member of the Needham History Center and Museum
Past Chairperson of the Needham High School Distinguished Career Award
Co-founder of The House Next Door, a home for abused women or women in transition
When I’m not working or volunteering, I enjoy time outdoors—canoeing the Charles River, sailing in Martha’s Vineyard Sound, or skiing throughout the winter months with my daughter Emma.
