🏡 UNDER AGREEMENT | 12 Richie Road, Douglas

This one has been 16 months in the making.

After getting 12 Richie Road under agreement last year, timing around the septic replacement ultimately caused that buyer to walk away. My sellers stayed patient, worked through the process, and this year we came back to market with a brand new septic system and a fresh start.

Just two days after going back on the market, we were able to secure another fantastic offer. 🙌

Now, with just a couple of weeks to go, I'm excited to help this family get to the finish line and finally put this chapter behind them.

Not celebrating quite yet, but we're getting close! 🔑

🏡 Buyer Tip: Shop Around for Your Lender 💰

Not all lenders are created equal, and the difference can save you real money. 💵

Rates and fees can vary more than you'd expect, but service and the ability to actually close on time matter just as much as the numbers. Ask your Realtor who they'd recommend before you commit. 🏦

🏡 JUST SOLD | 42 Jessica Way, Northbridge

This one started with a phone call from sellers who had watched me list and sell another home right in their neighborhood.

They saw the results, knew they wanted the same kind of smooth process, and reached out.

After spending most of their lives in this area, they were getting ready for a move to Florida and wanted one thing above all else: a clean, low-stress sale that wouldn’t take over their summer.

That’s exactly what we worked toward.

We launched the home, packed the first weekend with open house traffic, accepted an offer coming out of that weekend, and from there it was smooth sailing all the way to the closing table.

I’m incredibly grateful they trusted me with such a big transition.

Another Northbridge home sold, and another reminder of how much I value being able to serve the community I know so well here in Northbridge and throughout the Blackstone Valley.

If you’re thinking about selling and want a strategy built around making the process as smooth and straightforward as possible, I’d be happy to help.

🍂 September Home Maintenance Checklist

Fall is creeping in around the Blackstone Valley, and this is the month to get ahead of it before the cold really sets in. Here's what I'd put on your list this September:

1️⃣ Drain & Store Garden Hoses 💧 Water left sitting in a hose once temps drop can crack the hose and even damage your outdoor spigots. Drain it, coil it up, and store it somewhere dry.

2️⃣ Aerate, Overseed & Fertilize the Lawn 🌱 Early fall is prime time for lawn recovery in New England. Aerating loosens up compacted soil so new seed and fertilizer can actually take root before winter hits.

3️⃣ Seal Gaps & Cracks for Pest Control 🐭 As it cools down, mice and other critters start looking for a way inside. A quick walk around your foundation and window frames to seal gaps now can save you a headache later.

4️⃣ Clean & Inspect the Fireplace and Chimney 🔥 Before that first fire of the season, get the chimney checked. Creosote buildup is a real fire hazard and an easy one to prevent.

5️⃣ Schedule a Furnace Tune-Up 🛠️ Don't wait for the first cold snap to find out your furnace needs work. A tune-up now keeps it running efficiently, and keeps your house warm, all winter long.

Small tasks now save you bigger repairs (and bigger bills) later. Save this post for when you need it!

🏡 Real Estate Word of the Week: MLS 🔎

Ever wonder how your Realtor finds homes before they show up on the big search sites? There's one powerful tool behind the scenes making that possible. 🏠

MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service, the shared database Realtors use to list and search active properties. Being on the MLS means a home gets maximum exposure to agents and buyers everywhere, not just whoever happens to scroll by online. 📊

Want to see what's really available before it hits the big sites? Let's connect and I'll set you up with real time MLS listings! 💬

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Client Testimonial

These guys came to me as first-time homebuyers with a pretty simple goal: get the most bang for their buck and find a place they could really call home.

We looked around the Blackstone Valley and across different parts of Massachusetts before ultimately finding the right fit in North Smithfield, Rhode Island.

They put a lot of trust in me throughout the process, not just to help them buy a house, but to help them figure out what actually made sense for them long term.

And yes, we also had to make sure there was plenty of room for all of Ben’s outdoor gear. If you know Ben, you know exactly what I’m talking about.

What started with us as complete strangers turned into a great working relationship and ultimately a friendship, which is one of my favorite parts of this business.

Really appreciate their trust, their five-star review, and the chance to help them buy their first home.

Here's a seller tip that's easy to overlook: have a plan for after you sell.

Before you list, it helps to know where you're heading next, whether that's buying your next home, renting for a bit, or relocating somewhere new. Having that plan in place keeps your timeline smooth and takes a lot of the stress out of the process.

A little planning now can make the whole move so much easier later!

🏡 JUST SOLD | Plymouth, MA | Buyer Representation

This one started in a pretty unexpected way.

These buyers found me after searching ChatGPT for the best Realtor in the Blackstone Valley, came across my reviews, and reached out to schedule an interview.

From there, we spent the next eight or nine months being extremely thoughtful about the search.

After living in Hawaii for a number of years (Flying Helicopters - how freaking cool?!), they knew they wanted to come back to the Northeast, but they also didn’t want to completely give up the lifestyle they had grown to love. The goal was to find something that gave them that coastal feel while still keeping them close enough to family throughout New England.

Eventually, we found the right fit in Plymouth.

Throughout the process, I really appreciated how detail-oriented they were, how carefully they approached each decision, and how much trust they placed in me to help guide them through a long search.

I’m incredibly thankful I got to be part of it, and I couldn’t be happier for Alex and Amanda start this next chapter closer to family and still near the water.

Does it actually make sense for you to sell your home right now?

That's the first question I ask every seller, before we ever talk about photos, pricing, or a listing date. My job isn't to talk you into selling. It's to help you figure out the right move for your life.

I've sat down with people who came to me ready to list, and told them to hold off. Sometimes the home they're in isn't the problem, a few changes could make it feel new again. Sometimes they own a property that actually makes more sense as a rental than a sale. Sometimes the timing just isn't right for what they actually want next.

Selling is a big decision, and it should start with an honest conversation, not a pitch. If you're weighing whether to sell, stay, renovate, or rent, I'm happy to talk through it with you either way.

July's market numbers are in, and there's a real shift happening across Central Mass and Northern RI that both buyers and sellers should pay attention to.

Prices are still climbing, just not at the pace we got used to. Most counties saw modest gains, but Blackstone Valley stood out with median sale prices up 8.6% year over year, the strongest jump on the board.

The bigger story might be inventory. Active listings are up in every single area we track, and in Worcester County that number is up over 25%. That's a meaningful change. We're not in the 2021 or 2022 market anymore where a house hit the MLS and buyers threw offers at whatever price with barely a second look. Buyers now actually have options, and that means sellers need to be sharper with pricing, timing, and presentation than they did a couple years ago.

Here's the good part though: homes sold is also up almost everywhere, and in Worcester County and Blackstone Valley it's up more than 15%. So while there's more to choose from, buyers are still buying. Homes aren't sitting, there's just more competition for sellers to think through.

If you're a seller, this is the moment to have a real conversation about strategy, not just throw a sign in the yard and hope. If you're a buyer, you've got more breathing room than you've had in years. Use it.

Happy to walk through what this means for your specific street or town, just reach out.
