westborough: Strike While the Iron is Hot...and other advice for non-real estate professionals... - 04/04/11 02:54 AM
There is a saying, Strike While The Iron Is Hot!  and for a certain for-sale-by-owner that I sold last week, they are about to find out why.
Our market is beginning to see For Sale By Owner properties again.  There are 2 primary reasons for this: the market has low inventory & many people own their homes for very close to market value (vs. having ample equity).
There is a temptation to FSBO, and for some this can work.  Recently I've had 2 FSBO experiences, and they both have something interesting to say.
The first is a house that I found … (0 comments)

westborough: Flood Plain...Flood Pain!...Westboro, MA 01581 - 04/02/10 06:24 AM

Flood Plain = Flood Pain!
After watching my local DPW trucks haul sandbags around town to hold back the floods caused by recent rains, I have the flood plain on my brain!
I took a listing recently that was in a flood plain but nobody knew it. The house was built in 1959. The owner was a church, and the house served as a home for various clergy over the years. The church was disbanded and liquidation of assets included the rectory. There was no mortgage on the property. Apparently there was no insurance either, since it is likely the … (2 comments)

westborough: Adrenaline Rush! - 03/16/10 12:27 AM
Ok, I'm a confessed adrenaline junkie, so the film "The Science of Adrenaline" at the Boston Museum of Science was a "must see"!  As you may have surmised from my picture, between listings and sales I enjoy club & vintage car racing - lately running my blue '67 Porsche 911. 
Cars have always been a passion for me.  As a teenager I started working with my dad restoring Jags and Mustangs.  Later I began auto-crossing, and in the past 7 years I've moved to road racing.
I've driven many different kinds of cars on tracks around the Northeast - Limerock, Watkins Glen, Pocono, … (4 comments)

westborough: What makes a home uninsurable? - 03/12/10 11:07 PM
          GOT MOLD?
"Got milk"? Well that might be good, but if you've "Got Mold" - or have made a claim based on water damage - you might find you haven't got insurance!
Even if your insurer isn't looking into your water problems, they are looking into the profiles of their insured. Made a claim in the past 3 years? Some companies won't write you a new insurance policy. If you've made a claim, and you move, your best bet is to stay with your existing insurer.
Insurance can be tricky with older properties. For example, knob & tube wiring … (3 comments)

westborough: It's a Great Time to Be Middle Aged! - 03/12/10 12:01 AM

The market advantage for a middle-aged home:Inside every dark cloud there's a silver lining!  In this housing market new construction has all but vanished, leaving a sales opportunity for owners of middle-aged homes.Think of the marketing advantages!  Older homes are located in established neighborhoods with mature landscaping - instead of subdivision scalping.  With a few key bells and whistles to make it feel like new, the middle-aged house is a newly appreciated hot commodity!  Take down the wallpaper.  Paint the stained woodwork.  Refinish the hardwood floors.  Reface the kitchen cabinets.  Install new counters and appliances.  Replace old bathroom light fixtures.  Voila!  "Old" … (2 comments)
