In the local real estate scene, Carl Greenler of the Mango Realty Group stands out as a familiar face who has helped dozens to hundreds of families in the area find their dream home. His story is woven with a profound commitment to serving not only his clients but also his community. From his forty years of service as a first responder to his current involvement with the Salvation Army, his dedication to supporting Swampscott, Lynn, and neighboring towns is indisputable.

“I got into real estate about 22 years ago; I needed a change,” he recounted. Prior to pursuing a career as a realtor, Greenler worked in the security field for nearly two decades and as an emergency medical technician (EMT) for 40 years. In his two decades as a realtor, the skill sets developed in these past roles have proven useful and informed his ability to provide superior service.

His cumulative experience, passion, attention to detail and care for others have transcended into real estate, as he approaches each client and home with a keen eye and an open heart. Recognizing the significance of these transactions as milestones in the lives of the people he serves, Greenler ensures his clients feel understood and supported throughout the process.

“You do it to help people; to be able to hand them a set of keys and say here's your house is just the best thing,” Greenler remarked. He particularly enjoys working with low-income and immigrant populations who may have encountered challenges on their path to homeownership that otherwise made them feel like it was impossible.

Greenler shares that he approaches all clients with a promise of patience to ensure they have all the tools and information to determine what they want in a home so that they can work together on finding the perfect match. “I try to get to know people; they don't always know what they want, so you really need patience as an agent to let them figure it out and help them towards that,” he explained.

As chairman of the Lynn Historical Commission, Greenler offers prospective home buyers a unique perspective on recognizing and restoring historic aspects of homes and important considerations when purchasing a historic home. “I enjoy explaining to people how they can rehab a home, understanding the costs and how to do it in a way that honors the original features,” Greenler stated proudly.

As chairman, Greenler collaborates with other members to identify and protect local historical sites and seek state and federal support to ensure that these properties and landmarks are effectively preserved for generations to come. In striving to embrace local history and educate the community, he plays a critical role in seeing that the many historic homes in the area are appropriately maintained. With this knowledge, Greenler boasts a unique “ability to spot a historic home and talk about it in historical terms,” which makes him the ideal realtor for those seeing or selling a charming old home.

Greenler’s passion for empowering the community has led to years of involvement with the Salvation Army as a regular volunteer. Greenler’s years of service with the organization are currently being recognized as he is nominated for the 2024 Good Neighbor Award; celebrating members of the National Association of Realtors who have made significant impacts in their communities. “Community is what it's all about; I've been working in it for so long; now Salvation gives me the chance to give back,” he reflected.

Along with decades of service to his community, Greenler is a proud member of his church’s choir and has been singing tenor with the group weekly since the mid-70s. His many longstanding commitments are a testament to Greenler’s unwavering sense of responsibility and joy he feels in fulfilling these duties that help uplift others and the community.
