Real Estate in Ma, and throughout the country has been volatile over the
past few months and years as the market moves from boom to correction.
As 2008 ends and we look towards 2009 the market has lost significant
value, but in that I see opportunity. Looking to upgrade, now could be that
time...Rates are very low and that new house you have been thinking about is
a lot less expensive than it used to be. While the home you own may not be
worth as much as it used to be, having your house sell for x% less
due to market conditions is still a smart move when that more expensive NEW
house can be bought also for x% less and with a lower interest rate saving
you even more...now is a great time to buy!
New to the market...what
a great time to jump in. Mortgage Rates are at or approaching historic
lows, there are 1st Time Buyers Federal Government Assistance programs and
the market has numerous attractively priced houses . This is a great
time to see what might be there for you !
Be careful what you say to your husband (in particular if you plan on keeping him)
I’ll do this for a couple of years…. GET Bored ...And Move On.
At least that’s what
I thought in 1983. What I didn’t count on was loving the profession and thoroughly
enjoying the people I came in contact with.
It seems like yesterday. I had just
passed my Real Estate Licensing Exam. I said to my husband “I’ll do this for a couple
of years but then I think I’ll move on to something new. After all, you just show
a couple of houses and then your customer buys one.” He just laughed at me (he has
been a constant source of humor throughout our 26 year marriage). That was 1983.
Each and very day I assist people and families with the most important investment
of their lives. This is where your children will grow up, your haven after a long
day’s work, a neighborhood/community to meet friends for life and where you will
protect and grow a significant part of your savings and investments. I have never
lost sight of this and that is why I stay at the forefront of my profession in continuing
education and services. And, that is also why, I provide and maintain this web site
as a service to you.
What have I done since 1983 besides get older (Sigh!)??? Well,
I kept my husband for his humor (just kidding).
Living in Framingham, I started
my career as a salesperson in Sudbury. Upon attaining my Broker License I joined
a start-up as the Assistant Manager. As the Business grew I created and maintained
a 3rd party relocation division, assisted in the training and directing of the sales
staff, maintained my personal customer base and attained the GRI designation (Graduate
Realtor Institute).
Looking for new challenges, I opened an office in Marlborough
(for a company that will remain nameless) and became a Licensed Real Estate Instructor.
The office was a success, but it was corporate policy that managers could not sell.
Quite simply, I missed interacting with the public and the day to day challenge
of finding that “just right home”. Frankly, that was the reason I became a broker
and it is what I truly enjoy about my profession.
So, along with a family move to
Upton, I changed offices and affiliations, returned to sales and attained the Certified
Buyer Representative designation. Now, located at the Remax Executive Office in
Westborough, I provide the services of a broker with a unique depth of experience
rarely found in the industry.
I continue to attend professional education courses,
most recently attaining the E-PRO designation (a course dealing with the unique
needs and services of Internet customers) in an effort to continue to provide cutting
edge service.
And, with all this, I have never lost sight of one thing. Whether
you are relocating from out of state or moving down the street, this is one of the
most important moves of your life. I hope it will be my privilege to assist you
in finding a home that meets your needs and requirements.
As a Broker with Remax
Executive Westborough, my office is conveniently located at the crossroads of the
Mass Pike (Route 90), Routes 495, 9 and 30 and provides excellent proximity to the
surrounding towns of Westborough, Upton, Mendon, Holliston, Northborough, Southborough,
Uxbridge and the MetroWest towns including Wayland, Sudbury, Weston, Natick and
