​A big, beautiful bonus room is the icing on the cake in this small but mighty ranch.  Almost 500 additional square feet to enjoy!  The wonderful location provides fast and easy access to downtown Northampton or Easthampton.  The backyard is lovely, level and clear and gently slopes at the rear to offer views of a small pond beyond.  Inside the kitchen is small but functional with an adjacent dining area. The livingroom's bay window lets in lots of light.  There are three ample sized bedrooms, the largest will fit a king size bed.  The full bathroom has a walk-in shower and built in storage.  Full basement for laundry, storage or potentially more finished space.

I sure do love selling lake houses!  Even in the winter I looked forward to each and every trip I had to make out to this beauty in Sturbridge.  The seller did not live close by so I was able to help arrange all we needed to do to get ready to list it for sale.  This meant I was at the property often, which was NOT a problem for me!  We power washed the exterior, cleaned out the gutters, had the interior professionally cleaned and even had to have the snow plowed a time or two.  In the end all the chores were worth the effort, as my client received several offers and all were over asking price.  My client ended up with a fantastic profit and the new owners ended up with a very beautiful vacation home where their family will gather and make new memories for years to come.  Congratulations to everyone!

Recently, my very good friend Darren Brass moved back home to CT after 20 years on South Beach in Miami, FL. A shocking adjustment to be sure! To help ease him back in to New England we’ve decided to seek out CT’s best food and eat it together. To kick things off we tried @ the Corner in Litchfield.

We sat at the bar, the service was lovely, ambiance was cozy and the bar was pretty busy for a Tuesday at 5pm.

The menu is "fresh and continuously updated American cuisine" and it changes seasonally.  We had some really great chicken wings and their famous drunken pear brussells sprouts.  The also have a wide selection of craft beers and cocktails.  We enjoyed everything we had and plan to return to try even more!  If you're in the greater Litchfield area, please eat @ The Corner.  Even if you're not, it's worth the trip!

Meet, Brie!  When I first met Brie she was looking for a rental.  We looked at a few places in Springfield but the market was tough and the rent to value ratio was off.  Rents were high, quality of the properties was low.  So we extended her search and found "the one" in Enfield!  When Brie's lease was up, her landlords decided to sell (it's still a seller's market after all!) so Brie was going to have to move again.  This time she would buy so that the next time she had to move it would be because SHE wanted to.  We looked again in the greater Springfield area and found a few she liked.  The market is still crazy so we lost a few.  Then we even found what we thought was "the one" in Enfield and another home buyer found "the one" in the house Brie was renting.  The two houses were under contract until both home inspections revealed failing roofs. Both buyers backed out.  A problem for everyone.  The solution?  Brie decides to make an offer on  the house she lives in!  Landlords and Tenant became Sellers and Buyer. A price and a new roof were negotiated.  And now Brie is a proud homeowner and she didn't even have to move again!        

We (Sean and Jessica Martin aka "The Martin Hives") are super excited to have been invited by Continuum Distilling to participate in their local vendor and food truck festival!  The Martin Hives will have honey for sale, as well as propolis tincture (Google it!)  and our brand new honey soaps!  There will be food and drinks and live music!  Come out and say hello!

This ocean front sandcastle consists of a large main structure surrounded by 12 outbuildings.  The property is fully walled in and spans hundreds of inches .  Incredible water views from the turrets!  Just kidding!  This is from last summer so it has already sold and washed away.  

All jokes aside, this was SUPER fun.  Last summer, I was able to take a wonderful vacation at the beach in Rye, NH.  I was with my friend and fellow Maverick, Lisa Loomis and one morning we decided we were going to build a sandcastle.  Neither one of us had done it in decades.  We had no idea how hard and fun it would be.  It was sloppy but we were proud.  We retired to our chairs to relax and wait for the tide to come in and wash it away.  While we waited we were psyched to see people passing by and taking pictures of our sand monstrosity!  (Unless they were posted somewhere as #worstsandcastleever or #badsandcastle)

I'm now taking sandcastle building tips to prepare for this summer, please share yours!

These savvy sellers wanted to take advantage of the winter market still being in their favor.  But they were ONLY going to sell if they could hit a specific goal with the net proceeds of their sale.  By working backward from their profit goal and closely studying sales comps in town we were able to set a sales price that was on the high side of appropriate in the current Enfield market.  These guys had gutted and completely and beautifully remodeled this house in 2019.  So we all knew it would sell quickly.  But would it sell for what we hoped?  Happy to say, yes!  That and more!  Kudos to a couple who were willing to take a risk and to myself for the same!  Creative thinking and marketing and a willingness to try and to let go helped us all succeed here!
