buyers: The Power of the "Check List"...Listing, closing, buying... - 03/06/10 05:48 AM
I don't know about you...but when I have 10 deals going at the same time the Check List... keeps me on track and moving forward. My internal computer is not what it used to be ...so a friendly reminder on paper and in my sellers/buyers file...keeps me organized and heading toward a successful close. I even share my check list with the sellers/buyers and invite them to help me with the process. This way... if I haven't checked the check list...I am not the only one paying attention.

buyers: Falmouth Rotary sends Shelter to Haiti - 02/23/10 07:43 AM
WOW. Sometimes you just have to say it...WOW!
When the Haiti Earthquake rocked our world, literally. The World responded. The Falmouth Rotary made headlines by taking a Shelter Boxand holding a 24 hour vigil on the Common in downtown Falmouth. Brave Rotarian's and Young Professionals slept in the tent 'City' while the temperatures sunk to 12 degrees. The goal was to raise enough money to send as many Shelter Boxes to Haiti as possible from our small Cape Cod Community.
That effort raised 8,000 dollars which meant 8 shelter boxeswould be sent from Falmouth Rotary to Haiti which translates into … (0 comments)

I got the call on my cell phone, a number I didn't recognize? The man on the other line said..." Is this the "Coolest" Realtor on Cape Cod". But of course... I replied. He said he had met me 11 years ago at a local networking event and had kept my card. 11 years... I thought, wow... I must have made an impression?
He and his family have been living in Georgia for the last 7 years but had held on to their Cape Cod Home for summer fun. Now, with his job ending, he needed to sell the Cape Cod … (7 comments)

buyers: Why Pre Qualify? Buying a Home and Getting a Mortgage... - 06/26/09 06:15 AM
It's a good idea to get prequalified for your mortgage before shopping for a Cape Cod home. Prequalification involves supplying a lender with basic information regarding your debt, income and assets. From this information, lenders can get an idea of the mortgage amount for which you qualify, and it can usually be done at no cost. Being prequalified can help you narrow the range of homes in which you are interested, as it's another way of knowing what you can afford. It can also help you act fast if a home you're interested in has a lot of interest. Prequalification shows … (0 comments)

This week I wrote Mother's Day Cards to many women who I have worked with in the last 10 years. Why Not? I am certain my cards were unexpected. I know from the response they were well received. Even the women who are not Mother's by Biology were thrilled to hear from me and to be acknowledged.
You see, I am not a Mother. I believe Mother's Day is for Women everywhere. Women MOTHER others all the time. I sent a card to a Client who is a former NUN and she said... "you are so right, I have been … (1 comments)

buyers: Mistakes Buyers Almost Make... - 05/08/09 07:57 PM
1. Too Low an Offer
You would be surprised at how many dream homes are lost because of the buyer's inability to move a little on price, terms, or concessions. Remember that $5000 in today's loan market increases your monthly investment $35.82 per month - the cost of an average dinner out and hardly a price worthy of giving up a lifetime of satisfaction. Follow your professional advice if you really want the property!
2. Not Using a Real Estate Professional
Lenders, Abstract/Title, Inspectors, and Facilitators are all important members of the purchasing process. They must be the best … (0 comments)

buyers: DECLARATIONS OF HOMESTEAD - 05/08/09 11:53 AM
The property values, and thus the equity, which homeowners possess in their properties across Cape Cod and the Commonwealth have in the last few years reached new heights. This newfound wealth can be advantageous for parties seeking home equity loans or selling their property. However, equity is also a valuable asset upon which creditors may levy to satisfy judgments secured against property owning defendants. Luckily, Massachusetts' residents may avail themselves of the Declaration of Homestead to protect that equity. In addition, the Massachusetts Legislature has recently made this tool even better.
Prior to November 2, 2000, Massachusetts General Laws, … (0 comments)
