I was approached this past weekend to be a part of an upcoming story about homeowners in Andover that are searching for their next home in the same community.The focus of the piece is home owners soon to be home sellers in Andover and their moving process and what it means to them to stay in the town they love so much. I am always flattered when I receive media inquiries but this one for some reason really made me smile. I find myself having this conversation time and time again whether I'm at a baseball game or out to dinner with my family or just wandering into Starbucks to grab coffee. Real estate in the Andovers is always a topic of conversation among the locals. There are so many who "get it" they understand that if your going to live North of Boston the Andover and North Andover a... 05/24/2010

  I originally had bought a Nikon D50 a couple of years ago and it came with a 18-50mm lens. I  just wasn't happy with the 18mm for my widest setting. I felt at times I was not getting the feel of the room for my home sellers. In smaller rooms, I felt like I was photographing furniture. To enhance my real estate photography for my home sellers, I decided to get a wider angle lens. I found very quickly they could get quite expensive. I ended up with the Sigma 10-22mm. I found it to bea good balance between cost and benefit. You can purcase on for around $450.00 and you can get it in all the popular camera mounts. There is definitely some perspective distortion that you will tend to get with any wide angle lens as well as a little bit of barrell distortion on the lower end of the zoom. Ov... 05/15/2009

Andover Massachusetts Real Estate Andover, Massachusetts is located in Essex County, the most northerly county in the eastern part of Massachusetts. From the early days of the town, manufacturing was a major concern. The town's first powder mill was established in 1775; the manufacture of paper began in 1789; and in the early nineteenth century, woolen mills, a major New England industry of the era, were constructed. While many early businesses have since moved elsewhere, the town continues to attract major industry. In recent decades, Andover has emerged as a highly affluent community with a strong economic base. Conveniently located near the intersection of two major highways, the town is well within commuting distance of Boston, and just a short drive away from the Massachusetts seas... 03/23/2009
