Merrimac MA Short Sale Closed!!
9 Maple Street Merrimac MA 01860 After working with this particular client for almost a year with a myriad of hurdles, we successfully closed this Merrimack Massachusetts Short Sale. Our biggest hurdle with this property was we were dealing with Provident Bank, a small local bank with little to no short sale experience. They handle a short sale in a fashion that is what I would call "not typica"l in this industry. Kudos to my short sale negotiator who muddled through the difficult … Continue reading...
Living in the Merrimack Valley- Lowell Spinners
[lme-module module="market-activity" city="Lowell" state="MA"] I just stopped by LeLachuer Park, located in Lowell Massachusetts to pick up tickets for the Boston Red Sox minor league team the Lowell Spinners.

Given their ages, I don't know how long it will hold their interest but it sure beats paying big prices for a Red Sox game and not to being able to stay the whole game … Continue reading...

One of my rules that I try to follow is that the front of the home has full sunlight on the front and blue sky in the background. I will go back until I can achieve this if … Continue reading...
A Short Sale Realtor Should Never……
I have been on several short sale appointments lately where agents have been promising upside down sellers specific results in a short sale. An agent can never promise an outcome from a bank in a short sale. As a seller be wary of any short sale negotiator or agent that promises a specific result. There is no way someone can predict the outcome of a bank. It is entirely the bank/ investors who decide what they will offer a seller in a short sale. Even if one short sale went well with … Continue reading...
