WORCESTER COUNTY HOMES FOR SALE

Central Massachusetts serves as the crossroads of New England, with its intersection of primary highways from New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire.  While this is a busy area, the central part of Massachusetts offers more elbow room than the eastern part of the state.  You will find housing prices to be more affordable, with a little more land, than metropolitan Massachusetts.  The towns of Worcester County are wonderful for families, seniors, and professionals.  Most towns have strong public school systems and many resources for activities outside of school, as well as community support for seniors and opportunities for volunteering. For business and travel, you can drive to Boston, Northampton, or the Berkshires within an hour.  Whether you are commuting to work or simply out to enjoy the varied cultural and geographic pleasures of our state, you will find that Central Massachusetts is a convenient starting point.

ABOUT KATHRYN ACCIARI

My husband and I began buying, renovating, and selling homes in 1992. I made my interest in real estate official in 2005 when I earned the Massachusetts real estate salespersons license.  I joined the RE/MAX family immediately and by the end of 2008, had closed 25 home sales in central Massachusetts and earned two RE/MAX sales awards. 

My primary goal is to guide my clients to make sound real estate decisions in this fluctuating market.   "After buying and selling my own homes, I realized that I could offer knowledgeable service with a good degree of caring to home buyers and sellers."

Certification:

Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE).  For home owners who are having difficulty paying their mortgage, I can advise you on the options that are available, before going into foreclosure.

Philanthropy:

Supporter of Little League and the Children's Miracle Network.

Education:

Graduated magna cum laude from the University at Buffalo (Buffalo, NY) with a bachelor of arts degree in Communication, having a concentration in advertising and public relations.

Licensure:

2005 - State of Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson's License

Other Professional Experience:

University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, Buffalo, NY - Technical Communications Manager

University of Rochester Department of Cardiology, Rochester, NY - Clinical Trials Manager

Affiliations:

National Association of REALTORs
Massachusetts Association of REALTORs
Worcester Regional Association of REALTORs

Other Interests:

I am an explorer by nature. I love being outdoors and try to fit in time for skiing, hiking, swimming, gardening, and biking.  I've just started getting into vegetable gardening.  Last year, my family tried to grow a salsa garden.  We planted tomatoes, peppers, onions, garlic and cilantro.  We ended up with some plump tomatoes and some spindly cilantro.  No luck with the other veggies.  This year, we'll try tomatoes, peas and carrots.  I also love dance, and have been involved in the dance world since age 5.
