mary crane: About Dover, Massachusetts - 10/30/12 10:30 PM
Located about 40 minutes southwest of downtown Boston, Dover is an affluent residential town nestled on the south banks of the Charles River. It’s a peaceful setting, with many scenic roads, and while farming is largely absent today, the town’s farming heritage is still very much evident in the rural quality of the town. You can’t look far without seeing New England farming characteristics even to this day; open pasture land, old stone walls diving properties, farm houses and barns, and beautiful stands of white pine, birch, oak and maple trees.
Dover area education consistently ranks high in the state and … (2 comments)

mary crane: I See A New Paradigm - 11/02/11 01:20 PM
   In a recent conversation with a woman who became a new client, we were discussing the various economic factors contributing to the current real estate market. I was impressed with her understanding of the situation, but most moved by her concluding remarks. “I understand that I’m probably going to lose money on the sale of my property, but I more than expect to make that up on the property I buy.” In so many ways that summarizes precisely what I find is going on out there.
   Consumer confidence, for a variety of reasons, is low. That translates into … (3 comments)

GUADALAJARA, Mexico- In an unprecedented effort, the U.S. Eventing Team stormed to Team Gold at the 2011 Pan American Games in classic style. All five team members added nothing to their dressage scores, to finish on 138.6 – a feat never before achieved in a Team Eventing Championship.
After winning the dressage, they jumped five spectacular clear rounds on Saturday’s cross-country course, for the first time in anyone’s memory and then sealed the victory at Club Hippica with double-clear show jumping.“I would like to give a really special congratulations to my team,” said Chef d’Equipe Mark Phillips. “Five people finishing on … (0 comments)

mary crane: Recommendation of Mary Crane, Realtor by Vin O'Brien, Attorney - 10/19/11 05:05 AM
I have had the pleasure of working with Mary on numerous business and sales transactions for many years. From the perspective of a real estate conveyancing attorney, I am always delighted (and often relieved) when I know Mary is part of the transaction team. I know I can rely on Mary to be prepared for any eventuallity, to zealously represent her client and to engage all parties with professionalism, efficiency and a smile. Mary Crane is one of, if not THE, best realtor I have worked with over the past 27 years of my legal practice.

mary crane: Life in Dover, MA - 04/14/11 12:04 AM
   I am writing my second installment to you on life in Dover, MA because it is simply unbelievable to me that a community could be this fabulous.
   To begin with, I have lived in Colorado, Maine, and most of my life in MA so I am familiar with winter conditions and driving on snow. At no time in my life have I ever lived any place where the town/city has done a better job plowing and preparing the roads than is done here in Dover. In even the worst conditions the roads are safe for travel. And here's the … (0 comments)

The following applies to all properties, whether its a condo, small starter home, horse property or sprawling suburban estate!Lest you think all of today's sellers are under the gun and will … (4 comments)

A nice note about Dover from a client... 
Dear Mary,
   I wanted to send you a note about our wonderful recent relocation to Dover for which you are totally responsible for. Even though I grew up in this area, before moving to Dover I knew very little about it which is strange as it borders Needham and Wellesley where I had lived.
   There are so many reasons I find Dover amazing. Lets start with the fact  that the Dover-Sherborn schools are consistently rated #2 in the state. And that there is only one traffic light in the entire town and that it  has maintained a wonderfully rural and … (0 comments)
