wellesley ma: Cash flow, a real estate story from the beginning. - 10/10/18 04:01 AM
Cash flow, a real estate story from the beginning. She had just gotten her license in Massachusetts to sell real estate. She was at the stage where she didn't know what she didn't know and she was filled with hope and energy and some strategies. She had recently bought into one of the systems of real estate that promised success, instant success the system's creator promised. Later in her career she would understand that all real estate systems make promises.  Most systems can create success if you follow them in the manner they are proposed.  All of us realize that is … (2 comments)

wellesley ma: Missing Your Opportunity in Real Estate? - 03/27/13 09:24 PM
Missing Your Opportunity in Real Estate is what is being shouted from the newspapers, the electronic media and every single agent out there, well, not every single agent.  Just like the inaccuracy of the media surrounding the demise of the industry several years ago, they are getting it wrong now as well.  There is no doubt that interest rates are very, very low. It is not disputed that prices are now moving back up and that there is competition for good listings at good prices.  We are seeing and recording multiple offers on homes and bidding wars driving prices up over … (5 comments)

wellesley ma: Wellesley, MA Annual Market Report 2012 - 12/27/12 12:07 AM
 
Wellesley, MA Annual Market Report 2012 includes all the activity throughout 2012.  It was a year of some returns which is good for both buyers and sellers.  The slow climb back from the drop off is welcome news for everyone. While Wellesley and some of the surrounding towns were not as devastated as others in the melt down of real estate beginning way back a the top of the market in 2007 and continuing the pendulum swing through 2009 and mid 2010 the swing is on the upwards trend again.  We may not see the heights of 2007 for many … (0 comments)

wellesley ma: Wellesley, MA Single Family Market Report Sept 2012 - 10/11/12 11:52 PM
 Wellesley, MA Single Family Market Report Oct 2012 has 149 homes that are either for sale, under agreement, sold, expired or canceled. This is a good bit of activity and continues to show the values for homes and the interest in real estate is there. At this time next month we will be through this horrible political season and as far as I am concerned couldn’t come sooner.  Since the Real Estate industry and those that serve it are the back bone of our economy it is so good to see it moving in a positive direction, don’t you think?

wellesley ma: Luxury, Value, Location and New, what more do you want? - 08/20/12 11:51 PM
Luxury, Value, Location and New, what more do you want?  These benefits are on most buyers mind in every transaction.  It seems to be a balance when you get to the final decision. For instance, you want luxury and you need value--fact is they can be one in the same, but you have to define things in the narrow.

wellesley ma: Opportunity Comes a knocking - 05/23/12 11:25 PM
 
Getting off the blocks fast Opportunity knocks
What do you do when opportunity comes a knocking on your door?  What is your response when that opportunity comes with some effort, some push back, some hurdles to jump through.  Successful people push through. They see the hurdles as mere stumbling blocks. They see the end even though the end can not be seen at the moment.  Book after book, program after program repeats these messages over and over again. Where are you when this happens.

In real estate the process of buying and selling your home … (2 comments)

wellesley ma: Clueless Agents, what do to? - 05/21/12 10:44 PM
When an agent rejects a perfectly good offer with a value that you know will never appraise, what can you do?  I like this agent and my client loves the property, but during our back and forth on the purchase price I was told a number of things about how Appraisers do their job.  Not wanting to get into an argument I suggested that he was wrong and that the price they have on their property will not appraise.  I was sent a long and nicely written note by the agent, which I appreciated, there just aren’t enough polite agents, but … (6 comments)

wellesley ma: Wellesley MA Single Family Housing Market Report Dec 2011 - 01/25/12 12:08 AM
Bellevue Home for Sale, Wellesley MA
Wellesley MA Single Family Housing Market Report Dec 2011. There are 159 total homes in the mix the last month of the year.  There is a lot of activity, but the time on market is still woefully too long more all of us.  It is good to see the DOM lower for the sold homes than the Active homes.  If you home has been on the market with no activity then your price is too high.  If you can’t afford to drop the price then you will stay on the market.  This is a buyer’s … (0 comments)
