wayland: I Listen for a living, YourStories Realty Group with Keller Williams
- 04/21/14 04:59 AM
I listen for a living, YourStories Realty Group with Keller Williams. I listen for a living is the answer I give to people when asked what I do for a living. It always tilts people’s head sideways like some Golden Retriever trying to understand. “oh, you are a lawyer, psychiatrist, politician, pastor or priest?” they might ask. No, I say, I work in real estate. I have found over the years you can’t ever get people what they want without truly listening to them at length talk about their wants and needs. I know some agencies like to match their listing … (4 comments)

wayland: The One Thing, a newbie perspective
- 04/28/13 10:56 PM
I recently decided to drink the kool-aid that Keller Williams has been offering. I am relatively new to the business at 3 years, four months, but still feel as though I am learning each day. From what I read here on Active Rain this process can continue throughout my career and this pleases me. The view from outside the Keller Williams family in is that these agents are on to something, but you have to drink their kool-aid to be one of them. I think that perspective is wrong now that I have joined in. Before I left RE/MAX this month … (3 comments)

wayland: Wayland MA 01778 Single Family Home Rental
- 10/24/12 10:45 AM
Wayland MA Castle Road Home Rental
Wayland is a great place to find a single family home rental. There are not many of them, the availability is .8% and that is not much. This home that will be available for November occupancy is on a flat yard large enough for wiffle ball and an in-ground pool. It is on a quiet dead end side street. It is right off Old Connecticut so it is easy to get to the major highways and a commute in virtually any direction.

wayland: Wayland, MA Housing Market Report July 2012
- 09/13/12 09:28 PM
The good news for Wayland in the Wayland, MA Housing Market Report for July 12 is that the number of houses sold doubled. That is good. People want to live here and are buying. The other piece of good news is that the prices are coming up slightly. Sellers are still not receiving their asking price, but they are receiving more than they were. That, too, is good. The rest of the statistics still show some lagging. I expect the numbers for Aug to be better. With this kind of information coming out of the Greater Boston Association of Realtors® and … (4 comments)

wayland: Ebbs and Flows...and so it goes
- 08/28/12 10:05 PM
Coming up on the end of my second year in this business I have taken this morning to look back. I remember so clearly sitting in the license testing room with maybe 23 other people and thinking this is going to be fun. Well, fun it has been along with agonizing, frustrating, exhilarating and exhausting. On balance, I am loving it. All my life I have worked to be a team member, a team leader by example and a friend and colleague to anyone who was in need. I am told by my broker and the several broker's recruiting me that … (12 comments)

wayland: Wayland MA 01778 Single Family Housing Report Feb 2012
- 03/12/12 11:06 PM
More homes have come on the market in Wayland. It seems as though the people who were waiting for the Spring market have jumped into action. With 102 properties listed in Wayland and 82 of them Active sales there is lots of inventory to review. Days on Market are still way high for this town. it is good to see the Sold DOM is considerably lower than the Active’s and Under Agreement listings. The other thing to notice here is that the homes that were sold are a bit smaller than the average home for sale in the town.

wayland: Wayland, MA 01778 Single Family Housing Report Jan 2012
- 02/16/12 02:26 AM
Wayland, MA 01778 Single Family Housing Report Jan 2012. There are 102 homes listed in this months activities. That is a fair number of homes in one state or another of activity. Sadly we have almost a full year of Days on Market. This is not great news at all for those homeowners who want to sell. As with all statistics some of this could be skewed because a number of properties have been on the market for years. This is no doubt due to a pricing fact related to the property itself. Wayland is a good community with a good … (0 comments)

Home for the Holidays, New home for the holidays. 4 Helock Road, Wayland, MA 01778 Dudley Pond Cape with Fireplace
Here comes December, the last month of the year. So much to do, so many things to complete, do you feel overwhelmed? Now is the time for action, enough with the research, the websites, all the data, and what is it with the data, it is all so confusing and contradictory? Real estate is made complicated by your viewpoint. Are you the buyer, or the seller? Are you the agent, or the other agent? Are you the lawyer, or the other … (4 comments)

wayland: Wayland, MA 01778 Single Family Housing Report Sept 2011
- 10/10/11 04:14 AM
Wayland, MA 01778 Single Family Housing Report Sept 2011 comes with lots of Active listings and a small percentage of homes Under Agreement or Sold. There is almost an equal number of Expired and Canceled listings as there are Solds and Under Agreements. What does this mean? In my opinion it means that buyers are still a little skittish with the economy–personal and global and where the prices and interest rates are going. In my opinion the prices are near lowest and don’t expect any big fall off over the next few months. Some people will lower their price just … (6 comments)

wayland: Dudley Pond Community Wayland MA 01778

4 Hemlock Rd Wayland MA 01778 kitchen
The Dudley Pond Community in Wayland is special in many ways. The most obvious is that all these special people live around a wonderful and beautiful pond. Homes hug the walls and cliffs and sit over the pond as you circle. You will see people out walking the dog, jogging down the hill, boating or kayaking, fishing and sunning. This all happens mostly in the spring, summer and fall, the winter is a different time. People still walk their dogs, the joggers are still out, but the smell of the wood burning stoves … (6 comments)

Wayland, MA 01778 Single Family Housing Market Report August 2011 reports activity of 130 homes are either Active, Under Agreement, Sold, Expired or Canceled. While this isn’t quite as much activity as there is in the surrounding communities, the level is a good level of activity for this time of year. With all the negative media surrounding the economy and the housing market it is hard for the real message to get through. There has not been a time so good to buy and sell real estate as there is right now. It is true the lending part is a … (0 comments)

wayland: Honoring the Deal
- 08/15/11 02:59 AM
Honoring the deals you make is essential for maintaining and building your relationships. Any good sales person can convince someone of almost anything in the short run, but if you are not fact based and honest you will get caught. Once you are caught in a dishonesty, or not honoring the deals you have made it will be almost impossible to make that ground up again with that person, or with any of the people that person knows. As an agent it is easy to make promises like, "I will get back to you with that answer." but so many … (5 comments)

wayland: What Seasoned Agents have taught me
- 07/02/11 02:03 AM
I have had the privilege from learning the real estate business around some agents and brokers who have spent their lives in the profession. I have watched them work their prospects and their clients and deals. I have seen them handle telephone calls and emails and I have learned so much. To be honest I have learned so much of what not to do. What they are doing may have worked in the 60′s, 70′s, 80′s or 90′s but does not work now and never will again. The business is different, the agent does not hold all the cards because information … (49 comments)

wayland: 20 Questions
- 01/14/11 02:03 AM
Later today I have a call with a prospect I was referred to earlier in the week. I have already blogged about the referral and what I have done to prepare, but I just mentioned my 20 questions. I use these 20 questions as a launching point for getting an honest understanding of what the prospect really wants. I have always known it is all about the client and these twenty questions (which I change for each prospect) is the best way to drill down on what they are looking for. It is not about the price or square footage, it … (10 comments)
