Living in the Merrimack Valley- Lowell Spinners

Lowell Spinners- Boston Red Sox Farm Team, Lowell Massachusetts

[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. This will be my boys first baseball game!! The tickets were only $6 apiece making this a very affordable evening. 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...

Why Didn’t My Listing Agent………Take better Photos!!

Because of my background in advertising and commercial photography, I put a heavy emphasis on the quality of the photographs we take to market your home on the internet and printed flyers. I have over $2500 in photographic equipment I use to photograph a home and will spend two to three hours photographing you home. 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...

These requirements apply to residences that were built or modified prior to creation of … 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...
