agent: The Real Estate For Sale Sign of The Future - 03/23/10 10:36 PM
Real estate is said to be the second oldest profession in the world (no jokes please) and for much of its history the standard operating procedure didn’t change a whole lot.
When I began my real estate career in 1988 (again, hold the humor) there was no internet. We collected a book of postage stamp sized, grainy, black & white photographs on crappy newsprint paper every two weeks: that was the multiple listing book. You carried that book with you to meet buyers and sellers and tried to fathom which properties might be of interest from these lackluster and teeny tiny … (3 comments)

agent: How is the real estate market in Western Massachusetts? - 03/02/10 12:30 PM
"Hey, how's the market lately?"

As a real estate agent in Westfield, Western Massachusetts, I get that question a lot.  My answer changes, but lately the answer has been, "it is good!" to which I get a lot of surprised responses.
Well, I wouldn't blow smoke...I have proof that Western Massachusetts real estate is improving! 
Let me start with my own office's numbers.  Park Square Realty in Westfield and Agawam has the following to report:
Some statistics right from our Show Desk Tracking System-
Park Square Listings: First 2 Months of 2009... 345 Showings... 12 Pendings.

agent: Now is The Time to Sell Your Home in Western Massachusetts! - 02/19/10 04:00 PM
I recently did a video explaining the home buyer tax credits and why they make it such an ideal time to buy a home in Western Massachusetts. Home sellers, you can benefit from this tax credit, too! The buyers are out in record numbers and we are seeing a lot of activity on well priced homes for sale. The buyers who haven't found the right home, yet, will be excited to see fresh inventory hit the market. If you have been considering making a move, now might be the perfect time. In addition to the increased buyer activity, there is a … (0 comments)

agent: Get Up To $7,100 in Repeat Home Buyer Credits! - 02/04/10 10:27 AM

Western Massachusetts Repeat Home Buyers: If you are considering making a move to reap the reward of the $6,500 tax credit, working with me can raise your credit up to $7,100! The federal housing tax credit guidelines for existing home owners allows for up to $6,500 for buyers who are under contract to purchase by April 31, 2010 and who close on the property prior to July 1, 2010.
What is the definition of a move-up or repeat home buyer? The law defines a tax credit qualified move-up home buyer (“long-time resident”) as a person who has owned and resided … (0 comments)

agent: Ten Winter Maintenance Tips for your Western Massachusetts Home - 01/27/10 03:16 PM
Whether you are selling your home this winter or not it is important that you take a few minutes to perform some seasonal maintenance.  Winters in Western Massachusetts and other cold climates can do damage to property that hasn't been looked after.
These ten tips will ensure that your home stays in tip top shape!


#1- Safety First!  Check that your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors have batteries and are functioning properly.
#2- It's f-f-freezing!  Insulate pipes in basements, crawl spaces and attics. These exposed pipes are most susceptible to freezing. Remember: the more insulation you use, the … (2 comments)

agent: Tick Tock Tick Tock the Home Buyer Tax Credit is on the Clock! - 01/26/10 11:59 AM
APRIL 30, 2010
That is when the home buyer tax credit expires.  No kidding.  No rumors of extensions.
GONE.
If you are a first time homebuyer, you must close on your new home by April 30, 2010 to collect up to $8,000 in tax benefits.
Other buyers who may qualify for the "Step Up" Home buyer credit must be in contract by April 30, 2010 with a closing no later than July 1, 2010 to collect up to $6,500.  My blog post on the tax credit extension has a complete guideline for your review.

agent: My 20 Year REALTOR pin: Thanks Mom! - 12/08/09 10:33 PM
This blog is an homage to my mom: Sheila Ryan Weber, the best REALTOR ever. 
My mom started her real estate career in about 1982 in Western Massachusetts after being an X-ray technician and then wedding consultant for years.  The reason for real estate?  My sister and I were competitive dancers and she needed to find a way to fund our expensive hobby.  A good friend of hers ran a real estate office and convinced my mom that she would be a natural for the business. That is the kind of lady she is: my sister and I had a need … (10 comments)

agent: Westfield and Southwick, MA Real Estate News from Park Square Realty - 12/01/09 08:18 PM
Interesting Western Massachusetts Quadrant Statistic... Over the past 12 months, out of all companies, Park Square Realty has the highest priced listing sold in both Westfield and Southwick.
Westfield - 29 Camelot Lane $ 685,000 Lesley Lambert (Westfield Office)
Southwick - 29 Ranch Club Drive $ 760,000 Gail Butler (Westfield Office)
Of COURSE I am thrilled to have this Westfield sale, but the reason wasn't because of the sale price.  I loved selling this home because it was the home of a best friend of mine who has bought and sold every piece of real estate over the last two decades … (3 comments)

agent: Western Massachusetts: Why are you Thankful to live here? - 11/19/09 08:38 AM
I make it no secret that I am a huge fan of Western Massachusetts.  I have lived here my entire life and have no plans on leaving.  My work as a REALTOR takes me all over the Pioneer Valley and there are so many beautiful and wonderful places and things to do here!
I am grateful for a number of reasons, including:
#1- the changing beauty.  I love the seasons here and how pretty is is in different ways at different times of year.
#2- the proximity.  I love that I can get to Boston in two hours or New York … (5 comments)

agent: Selling Your Western Massachusetts Home? You Need A PLAN! - 11/17/09 08:42 AM
1. Find the right representativeThe experience and knowledge of a dedicated real estate professional can be priceless. A good Realtor® forms a powerful team with his or her clients that makes it possible for them to have a smooth, successful, stress-free sale.
2. Determine your needs/wants for the sale and for your new homeSelling your primary residence can be tricky because you have to simultaneously be thinking about where you would like to buy. First weigh your priorities – selling price is certainly important, but having a quick and efficient sale can often be worth accepting a slightly lower offer. Talk … (1 comments)

agent: Short Sale Realtor in Western Massachusetts - 11/12/09 10:17 AM
My latest listing found me on Google by researching the term "short sale real estate agent in Western MA" and has been following my blog articles of short sale advice and education. 
While it is never a great thing to have to sell your home via short sale, I am honored that she valued my input enough to want guidance through this and I am thrilled that I may be able to help her through this difficult time. 
She tried to get several other agents to help her with getting informed and they gave her answers like: "short sales are too … (3 comments)
