I recently sold this home in Winthrop. It was an estate sale and the same family had lived in the house for 2 generations. When meeting with the sellers of this house I offered to do some light staging. I knew this was a quality house with a lot of potential but wanted to make it easy for buyers to see this as well. I couldn’t and didn’t try to hide that this house needed work. Just made it easy for potential buyers to see with a little love this house could be a home. First Step was to have a clean out of the house. I didn’t want to keep a lot of items so went through the house with yellow sticky notes and put them on anything I wanted to keep. Once the clean out was done I had a professional cleaner come in. Several people commented how clean the house was. It matters! Next I went aro... 07/03/2014

Not every real estate transaction is simple. Though many move forward without a hiccup there are a few memorable instances where this was not the case. Buying or Selling a home is a huge deal and emotions can run high. There are two sides to every story. Often the problem arises when a buyer feels they are making reasonable requests and a seller feels they have given in to too may of these requests. Who's right? The answer usually lies somewhere in the middle.  A good agent doesn't get into the he said, she said but redirects their client and keeps them focused. When working with a buyer and things start to go off track I remind them to keep their eye on the prize.  The Seller Does not Come With the House! 06/20/2014

Discover Winthrop: How’s the Restaurant Scene?                   Watch the interview with Jim Costin Of Belle Isle Seafood here. Winthrop is a seaside community located just outside of Boston. It is located on a peninsula 1.6 square miles in size. For such a relatively small community we have an abundance of restaurant choices. What is the restaurant scene like? Wanting to share our great restaurants I asked for the assistance of Anders Nilsson. Anders is a lender with Mortgage Masters. If you follow Anders on Facebook you will also note that he is a foodie and a chef in his own right. A few years back he was written up in the Boston Globe for his culinary abilities. So who better to ask along to visit and review a few restaurants? Here is a picture of Anders dogs Gracie and Lulu. They ... 06/14/2014

I recently met with Rob Pisani owner of Paesan’s Restaurant in Winthrop. My assistant was Anders Nilsson, mortgage lender, foodie and friend.               Watch the interview here. Rob of course made sure we were over fed. We enjoyed calamari, buffalo flat bread and chicken cutlet. Everything was exceptional but Anders and I both agreed that the buffalo flat bread was our favorite if for no other reason than it was different. Shout out to Michael, our waiter, as we he was so pleasant and helpful. I was tempted to call this article “A Simple Twist of Fate”.  Rob’s story is interesting and one of following your destiny. His mother was in the restaurant industry and Rob was helping out at the restaurant in Faneuil Hall when he was a young boy. The restaurant was 2 levels and Rob was helpi... 06/09/2014

A Winthrop MA home buyer should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Facts for Consumers Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase from the Seller or Seller's agent. Since MA Home Inspector licensing in 2001, a consumer must have a signed exclusive buyer's agent agreement with a Real Estate Broker or Salesperson before the Real Estate Broker or Salesperson can refer a home inspector. Without a signed exclusive buyer's agent agreement, the Real Estate Broker or Salesperson may only refer the buyer to the list of all MA Home Inspectors from the Massachusetts Board of Registration of Home Inspectors. Finding your Winthrop MA Home Inspector from the list of all MA home inspectors can be quite a challenge. An internet search for "Winthrop MA Home Inspection" ... 12/25/2013

A home buyer in Winthrop MA should receive a brochure, Home Inspectors Facts for Consumers Sheet, at the time of the signing of the first written contract to purchase. A standard Massachusetts home inspection is a visual examination of the physical structure and major interior systems of a residential building consisting of one to four dwelling units. It should be understood that there are certain risks inherent in the purchase of property and a home inspection is inherently limited in its scope and depth. The information gained from home inspection conforming to the Massachusetts Home Inspector Standards of Practice may reduce some of those risks, but the home inspection is not intended to provide the client with protection from all of the risks involved. Visit the Winthrop MA Home Ins... 10/12/2012

Winthrop Massachusetts Foreclosure Report June 2011 According to Realty Trac, Inc. There were 6 foreclosure filings in Winthrop Massachusetts in June of 2011. That works out to be 1 in every 1,401 homes and represents a 50% increase over May 2011. While this may be better than the national average, a 50% increase is very alarming. The increasing number of foreclosure filings are further evidence that the housing crisis is not over. From my understanding the Banks and The Department of Housing and Urban Development have all agreed that 2011 will be the year they push through with most of the pending foreclosures that have been held up due to title issues, faulty assignments and moratoriums. Many economists believe that the best way to deal with this problem is to get through it as quickl... 07/14/2011

Winthrop Massachusetts Foreclosure Report May 2011 According to Realty Trac, Inc. There were 7 foreclosure filings in Winthrop Massachusetts in May of 2011. That works out to be 1 in every 1,201 homes and represents a 33% decrease over April 2011. Although a decrease is a good sign, it may only be temporary . From my understanding the Banks and The Department of Housing and Urban Development have all agreed that 2011 will be the year they push through with most of the pending foreclosures that have been held up due to title issues, faulty assignments and moratoriums. Many economists believe that the best way to deal with this problem is to get through it as quickly as possible. Sellers who are facing foreclosure have two primary options. If they desire to save their homes they can appl... 06/30/2011
