Together with Attorney Nyles Courchesne and Accountant Sonny Drenen, I will host a no obligation, FREE Short Sale Seminar.

There are many people in Western Massachusetts who need to consider utilizing a short sale to make a move. It is imperative that you are working with a team that is knowledgeable, credible and professional to make your short sale a success.
It is crucial that you find a REALTOR that is ready to help you resolve your distressed sale situation in Western Massachusetts. I have had several years of experience in successfully closing short sales in Westfield, West Springfield, Chicopee, Springfield, Southwick, Agawam and the Pioneer Valley.

I have lived through this experience in my own life…I am empathetic and ready to help anyone in Western Massachusetts who wants a short sale specialist with heart and professionalism.

Today Big Y Supermarkets are working in conjunction with the Salvation Army to collect items that will directly benefit the victims of last week’s devastating tornadoes in Western Massachusetts.
I have been long overdue for a trip to donate to the Salvation Army, so when I heard about today’s collection, I went home and stuffed my little Subaru chuck full with clothes, books, toys and household items.
When I got there I was greeted by Gail LaGasse, the head of the Salvation Army office on Arnold Street in Westfield along with several cheerful volunteers. They told me the very large truck that they were filling was empty not long before my arrival. They plan to stay at the Big Y on East Main Street, Westfield Shops, Westfield until that truck is completely full.
During my stop there, cars were pulling up at a regular pace and were donating a variety of items. Jessica Sibilia pulled up as I was leaving and told me that she had been planning to have a tag sale, but when she heard about the drop off today, she decided to donate the items instead.
One of the volunteers, Mary, told me that she had come this morning to make a donation after clearing out her basement and decided to stay to help load the trucks. She helped me carry my multiple bags to the truck.
While the tornado and the aftermath is a horrible thing, it is wondrous to see the ways, both large and small, that our community bands together to help one another out.
You can help, too! Watch this video to learn more about how you can donate goods, services, assist with housing and more. Remember: Your Neighbors Need You!
Finding the right real estate agent to represent your home purchase or home sale in Western Massachusetts is an important decision. You need to evaluate the leaders in the industry to determine which REALTOR will do the best job for you.
Hearing from past clients and customers who share their experience of working with an agent can help you to decide.
Here is what my repeat client, Loree Cloud of Westfield, MA has to say:
The REALTOR Association of Pioneer Valley’s members are working to help their clients, friends, families and neighbors who were impacted by the tornadoes. The Facebook Page dedicated to tornado relief is here.
At present we are working to compile a list of vacant homes and apartments that we can share with the displaced families. If you have a property that you would be willing to rent while homes are rebuilt, please reach out to me either by email (use the green contact button to the left of this post) or by phone: 413-485-7380. I am also in contact with several attorneys who are willing to donate legal services in these situations.
If you are another real estate professional who has vacant listings that may be willing to do a temporary rental, please let me know, also.
Finally, will you share this post on your Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin or email? The more people who know what the need is, the better!
I will continue to report how our Western MA community can help as more becomes organized. Thank you in advance for your help!
