What a beauty!  It was a sincere pleasure to sell this very unique Enfield colonial.  And how often do you get to write "chickens are optional" in a listing description?  There was a a very nice chicken coop and run in the beautiful backyard and the seller was uncertain she'd be able to set up something new for her girls at the new house.  The buyer was interested in taking on the chickens but the seller was able to relocate them in time for the closing so in the end she kept her flock.  Congratulations to the buyer on his beautiful new home and to the seller on that sales price!  It's still bananas out there folks! 

When your client is your friend and you are also his client.  Meet Nate!  Nate is my friend, insurance guy and real estate client.  Today we looked at a potential investment property for his portfolio and I thought we maybe snapped this selfie for his wife who couldn't join us.  Turns out I ended up as content on his social media so now I'm making him content on mine!  And seriously... if you need insurance ask me for Nate's contact info! You'll save money and have a good time. 

​526 College Hwy
Southwick, MA 01077
Mixed use commercial

List price: $600,000.00
​Sales price: $600,000.00

This sure was a fun one!  A mixed use commercial space with an indoor pool, ropes course, scuba store and some residential rental units!  I'm just a tiny bit sad that my client did not buy this property with any intention of using the pool.  He is planning to fill it in!  But he did promise to throw one last pool party before that happens so at least he is not a total savage!  Why would you fill in a perfectly good pool?  BEEcause he has other plans for the space.  See what I did there?  This location will soon BEE the home of a new business that I plan to shop with regularly.  Stay tuned! 

It's always a pleasure to sell a classic Starr home in Enfield!  This one had the good bones we're always talking about but needed some work.  Because of that, the buyers got a reasonable price (for this market) and the sellers still got more than expected.  This one was also subject to probate approval.  What does that mean?  Ask me and I'll explain! 

​309 East St #3
Plainville, CT 06062
1 bedroom, 1 bathroom​
List price: $122,000.00
Sales price: $160,000.00

As you can seen above, the sales price is still just a suggestion.  What a crazy market we're living through!  In this case my client used a fabulous program available from CT Housing called Time to Own.  She was able to get a forgivable loan from the state to cover her down payment and closing costs.  So the only money she had to pay out of pocket was the difference between the appraised price of the house and the sales price of the house.  What does that even mean?  Ask me when you see me!  Even better than the great opportunity she had using this loan program was how gorgeous this condo is.  The previous owners updated ALL the things.  Truly move-in ready with no desires for changes or upgrades.  So if you have to overpay- it feels better to overpay for something nice... Right?  Either way!  A great fit and a great find for my client, so I'm super happy for her.  Congratulations on finding the one!

​41 Highland Ave
Westfield, MA 01085
3 bedroom, 1 bathroom (plus basement bonus toilet!)
2-story detached barn with farmers porch

​List price: $250,000.00
Sales price: $291,000.00

What a beauty!  It was an honor and a pleasure to sell a family home with so much history!  The house was gorgeous and quirky and the property was glorious with mature perennial gardens and open, flat lawn.  There were 14 total offers and half of those were over $300K.  In that case, why was the sales price $291K?  Great question!  The highest offer is not always the best offer.  Feel free to ask me why!  I think the buyer has restoration plans here and wish him the best of luck in his new (old) home!  Congratulations to everyone!

110 Lorimer St
Springfield, MA 01151
3 bedroom, 2 bathroom
Lake views/walk to water!
$250,000.00

We started out looking for a two or three family house for this family and they ended up with a lake house!  I couldn't be happier for them!  It doesn't have the income producing opportunities of a multi-family (right now!) but it does have space for everyone, a yard for the dogs and an unexpected lake view!  And it still comfortably fit their budget!  See what an open mind and some flexibility can get you?
