Lesley Was Phenomenal! Buyer testimonial on buying their Western MA home with Lesley Lambert, Park Square Realty

Lesley was phenomenalI love getting feedback and testimonials from my clients.  It means a lot to me that they take the time to write down their thoughts on working with me to buy or sell their home in Western Massachusetts.

Recently I had the great pleasure of working with Betty and Larry.  They currently live in Oak Park, Illinois, but Betty wanted to return to Western Massachusetts.  She and Larry had been looking for Victorian homes for sale in other parts of Western MA when they found the internet marketing for a Victorian home in Westfield, MA that I was representing.

While in town visiting family, Betty called me up and asked to see the house.  She fell in love with it and made an offer that day.  Fast forward a couple of months and Betty and Larry are now the proud owners of that home.Victorian home in Westfield, MA 01085

They were lovely to deal with and it was a joy because all the parties involved were getting just what they wanted from this transaction.

This week I received a written note to my office telling Park Square Realty that Larry and Betty thought:

“Lesley was phenomenal!  I wish our Oak Park REALTOR could be half as good.”testimonial on buying a home with Lesley Lambert

Betty stopped into my office the other day and was kind enough to repeat those words in person to the owner of Park Square Realty, as well.

I am thrilled that my passion for internet based marketing brought Betty and Larry into my life and got them the house of their dreams.  I am excited that they will be relocating to Western MA because I want to spend more time with them!

If you have a house to sell in Western MA and you want to make sure your listing gets the best exposure possible, please give me a call.  I would love to sit down with you and explain my online marketing plan and show you personally how I found buyers in Illinois for my Westfield, MA home for sale.

Starting off the day with the words “Western MA Short Sale Approved”!

Getting a home sold in Western MA using a short sale can be a very time consuming and difficult thing, but with the right team in place, it can be done!

Post by Lesley Lambert, The Real Estate Natural.

This morning I had a message from my short sale attorney’s office to tell me that another one of my short sale listings is approved for sale. This is great news for everyone involved: the seller will walk away with no debt and even a bit of money to secure an apartment, the buyer will get an affordable home to build equity, the neighbors get a revitalized home in their neighborhood which improves the home values and I get to know that I was able to help another person avoid foreclosure (yes, and a commission check, but that is secondary to me).

If you know someone who owes more than their Western Massachusetts home is worth and needs to make a move, let me know- I can help.  I have a decade of short sale experience and I have the right team in place to make sure the sale gets done properly with full protections to the seller.short sale in Western MA

Did you know that depending on your type of mortgage, if you work with an inexperienced agent and get your home listed before working with your lender that you could forfeit thousands of dollars in relocation funding?  That’s right…certain lenders will give you relocation money at the closing of your short sale, but ONLY if you work in the right order.  Working with an agent that isn’t well versed in how short sales work could actually cost you money.

Did you also know that hiring me to work as your short sale agent costs you, the homeowner, nothing?  That’s right, all fees due to the short sale team of realtor and attorney are paid through the lender’s short sale package.

There is a lot to know about short sales…why not call the area expert?

Find Out What a Home Improvement Project Will Mean to Your Western MA Home’s Value

Home Improvement (TV series)

If you are considering making a home improvement to your Western MA home, you may wonder what that improvement will do to the bottom line of your home’s value.

Some renovations make a bigger impact than others and it is smart to know an estimate of the value before making the investment.  Even if you aren’t thinking of selling your Western MA home now, it makes sense to keep up to date on market values.

I have access to a tool that can calculate a reliable figure for most common home improvements.

“Hanley Wood, a provider of housing development market data, is the source of the home improvement data that supports (the) “Refine Value Based on Home Improvement”.  Hanley Wood is known for collecting and aggregating residential and commercial construction data, and for publishing magazines such as Remodeling.

The home improvement data are produced at a regional level, and refactored at the ZIP code level for the most accurate results. The data are updated annually.”

Is Your Western MA Home a Smart Home?

I ran into this system today, the Smart home by SmartThings.

You can set up your house to run via voice commands or your smartphone.  Want to make sure the space heater or window a/c are on before you get home?  Use your phone to set it.

Want to know when the kids come and go or be able to turn on a light?

The starter kit is less than $300 on Amazon. 

I am very interested in this…might have to invest in it to bring my home up to the proper level of “geekiness” for this real estate geek girl.

Do you have this system?  Does it work for you?smartthings
