365 things to do in Worcester County - listen to Wachusett Chorus perform Spring Concert in Holden.  This past weak, Wachusett Regional High School held their annual Spring concert.  The Wachusett music department is so big, that the Spring concert lasted two evenings.  The first night the concert was short at only approximately two and a half hours, the second night it was over three and a half hours long.  To say that the Wachusett program is impressive would be an understatement.  To say that Wachusett has a music program that is one of the best in the country would be accurate.  The proof is in the number of Grammy awards the program earned over the years.  I am a proud parent of two students who have either gone or are going through the program.  Sarah, my youngest, is featured in ...

365 things to do in Worcester County - buy a single family home in Shrewsbury.  We all love a happy ending.  When a family finds the right home, goes through weeks of negotiations, inspections, paperwork and finally gets the keys to their new home.  Wow, what a great feeling! I've been honored to work with Kiran and Shashi in the purchase of their home in Shrewsbury.  Initially, we looked at condominiums but then decided to switch gears and find a single family home.  We found a neighborhood set close to stores, schools and amenities.  It was not too big, but my clients thought it was just perfect for them. As items came up during the home inspection and closing, we negotiated them with the sellers and resolved bigger items to our satisfaction.  The video below is a testimonial from my ...

365 things to do in Worcester County - shop at Christmas Tree Shops in Shrewsbury.  Today, I visited Christmas Tree Shops in Shrewsbury.  Now, I don't need a special reason to shop at Christmas Tree Shops.  This is a great place to stop by and browse and pick up a few nick nacks or necessities at great prices.  Today was truly, a real special day.  My girlfriend and past client sent me an email with a whole page of coupons from Christmas Tree Shops for 20% off the entire purchase.  As always, I split the page and left half at the office lunch room.  They were gone immediately.  The rest I took with me and invited another friend, Kathy Gervais, a mortgage originator, to take a brake from work and go check out the store. One of the things I picked up was a Chipotle Cheddar soup for $1.69 ...

365 Things to do in Worcester County - visit Hebert Mansion in Shrewsbury- Hebert Candy Mansion has a long history in the community.  For over 90 years, Hebert Candies has manufactured premium chocolates in central Massachusetts. According to Hebert family history, in 1917, young Frederick Hebert purchased a copper kettle, knife, thermometer, table, marble slab and stove for eleven dollars.

Thinking of becoming a "For Sale By Owner" in Worcester County Massachusetts?   Before you decide to become a FSBO ( for sale by owner), consider the extra time and money involved. Remember, Real Estate Agents perform many tasks, the scope of which you may not realize and all of which you would have to complete solo if you sold on your own. Some you actually do not have the ability to do at all. Tasks that real estate agents may do for sellers include:    •Creating a comparative market analysis of homes in your area to determine the correct pricing for your home compared with the competition. •Uploading your home's information into the Multiple Listing Service, a database of homes on the market that can only be accessed by licensed real estate professionals. •Coordinating all the necess...

Recently I was asked: Why have you decided to focus on becoming a Real Estate Expert for Shrewsbury? The answer is multi-faceted and I could talk about what a great place Shrewsbury is with all it has to offer without having to exaggerate.  When it comes to my business, I chose Shrewsbury based on two major factors: Proximity:  Shrewsbury is easy for me to get to whether I'm at my office or my home. In order to provide my clients with efficient and effective service, having the ability to respond quickly is a key factor. Market Volume: Residential Real Estate in Shrewsbury is selling.  This affords me the business opportunity to earn a living for myself and my family.
