newburyport: Realtors Wanted! MA North Shore and NH Seacoast - 12/20/11 07:10 PM
Tired of working for a company that looks after itself instead of you?
Newburyport Area. Rockport, Ipswich, Portsmouth. Exeter.
Yes, it’s come to that. Time to go forward with a new brokerage that understands how to communicate with people, is responsive, and, most importantly, doesn’t view each client as a commission, but rather puts their needs first.
This is not about taking listings that you can’t sell to find buyers and talk them into buying something else. I don’t want that kind of real estate agent, I don’t want salespeople; I want genuine people who do the best for … (0 comments)

newburyport: Newburyport Realtor John P. Wells receives Client Compliment! - 08/31/10 12:01 PM
"My wife and I originally contacted John so that we could look at some properties online. We were not really looking to purchase but rather simply looking. We spoke to John and he completely understood our position and provided us any information we required. That was about two years ago and through the time we would contact John for questions about properties and John was always very responsive to our questions. About six months ago we final found a home that we were interested in and John was instrumental in the purchasing process. The house was an estate sale so there … (0 comments)

newburyport: Newburyport Parking Garage: Rep Tierney offers $500,000 to study/design - 08/01/10 10:27 AM
Let's throw away some State money. Why not? Why should we spend money on teachers when we can spend a half million to try and get another $5 million in federal money to build a parking garage we don't need?
Here my letter to John Tierney. I will also publish his response.
August 1, 2010
Dear Representative Tierney,
As the former chairman of a committee the studied alternative parking and transportation solutions in Newburyport, a land use planner, and someone involved in city issues who has been studying and writing about the garage issue, I am very … (0 comments)

newburyport: Living in Newburyport is Great! - 04/24/10 09:14 AM
How Good We Have It
Sometimes we forget. We forget to stop, look around us, and see how good life is to us. Newburyport is a treasure, and living in or around it is a joy. We are surrounded by beauty, the flowering trees, the river, the ocean, the wonderfully preserved architecture.
Newburyport is thriving, although not for everyone. Most people are making a living, which is more than can be said for a large number of our countrymen. We have decent schools, competent services and benevolent weather. For the first time in years we have a Mayor who is making … (1 comments)

newburyport: No Walk in the Park for This Family - 08/09/09 10:19 PM
Buying a House isn't always Smooth Sailing
I'm working with a wonderful young couple who have four children and a fifth on the way! Needing to move to a larger home (duh!) they hired me to help them.
The price range is tight and the choices are few that will fit their needs. After a month a house came on the market that seemed perfect. The Seller's Agent, a very experienced realtor, told us that the owner was in a nursing home and her children were responsible for selling it. We made an offer, negotiated it, and... suddenly it turned out … (0 comments)

newburyport: Realtor Motivation: Buyer Agents - 08/01/09 01:15 PM
What Motivates Your Realtor: Buying
You hire a Buyer's Agent to find you the property that best suits your needs for the best price. While the Agent does much more for you than this, there should be no other motivation for showing you a house.
Realtors offer other realtors open house luncheons, extra commissions and other motivators to try and push their property. Why any good realtor should be influenced by that is beyond me. As a Buyer's Agent I sign a contract with my clients agreeing to a 2.5% commission; offering me more money is no reason for me … (0 comments)

newburyport: Newburyport and CVS: The Landlord's Viewpoint - 07/31/09 03:47 PM
Comment: Ann Lagasse wrote me the following explanation. It gives a different twist to the story. Would CVS have actually left Newburyport? I doubt that.
"Hi John,
thanks for the email.
We have been working with both tenants for a number of years regarding this site. The good news is they are both busy businesses who want to stay. The issue was for CVS to recommit they needed more space. If they didn't get the space they needed, they would be gone from the plaza.
We signed their new lease in April and White Hen was notified immediately. It was not a surprise … (0 comments)

newburyport: Newburyport and CVS - 07/31/09 09:17 AM
Hello, CVS? Anyone Home?
The decision to greatly expand the CVS at the expense of the surrounding businesses shows incredible insensitivity to community needs, aesthetics and common sense.
White Hen Pantry, a privately owned franchise, has been serving the town well and importantly at the location for years. CVS, too, is very useful to City residents at that location. As it now is, not as a much larger market. Who wants a CVS like the one in Salisbury Square on the Bartlett Mall in Newburyport? That would look horrible, cheap and commercial - it's already a shame to have a … (0 comments)

newburyport: Life in Newburyport - 07/11/09 05:17 PM
Newburyport - City of Life
I love this city. I lived in Europe for 18 years, and when I came back to live in New England, I briefly lived in my home town of Winchester before discovering Newburyport in 1999. Newburyport has all of the great qualities of a small American seaport, combined with the walkability and atmosphere of some of the European cities I have lived in. I have lived here ever since.
OK, I like good food, and Newburyport has plenty of it. There are some great restaurants in town - I think Ten Center St. is … (0 comments)
