Looking at the facts before voting is something I feel strongly about, so I wanted to share some important info. A recent Tufts study shows that the proposed rent control ballot measure could wipe out $300 billion in Massachusetts property values, which would hit homeowners and renters hard all across our state. The harmful unintended consequences of this proposal seem to be clear, which is why I’ll be voting NO on rent control this year. I encourage you to check out the data and join me!

The real estate industry-backed report says the proposed rent limits could cost homeowners a combined $300 billion after a decade.

Just ran the Massachusetts triple-decker metrics for Q3! The trailing 12 months leading up to the end of September showed sale prices of 3-family properties increase by an average of 6% as compared to calendar year 2024. Rental rates in some corners of the market have been faltering while the majority continue to climb.

Ok, this uninsured $90K to $390K hit to a North Attleboro family's finances isn't the first I've heard of it happening in MA, and demonstrates why the oil spill remediation insurance endorsement needs to start being included by default rather than only added by people who happen to even know that it's an option. Mine only costs $34.56 annually through USAA, so this is a no-brainer.

I just added "bug clients until they secure oil spill endorsement & reimburse them for 1st year's cost" as item #124 of my buyer client checklist.

A Massachusetts couple says a simple move could have prevented a $400,000 oil tank leak at their home.
