Five Short Sale Tips for Homeowners in Western MA

If you are in danger of foreclosure or owe more on your home than it is currently worth, then a short sale may be a good option for you.  Before you decide, however, watch this short video that outlines the top five short sale tips that homeowners in Western MA should consider before they sell their home with a short sale.

#1- Short sales are not right for every home owner in Western MA. 

#2- It is critical that you hire a Western MA REALTOR who has short sale experience and a proven track record.

#3- Short sales are marketed traditionally and will be competing with traditional listings.  You must make the property as competitive as possible.  Clean up, de-clutter and put your best foot forward.

#4- This is an extensive process that requires many steps and a lot of paperwork.  It is imperative that you stay on top of the transaction.

#5- Have a team in place that includes a short sale attorney, an accountant and a financial planner. 

If you are a home owner in Western MA who is considering selling your home with a short sale, I offer free confidential consultations.  Your privacy is paramount to me and I will work tirelessly to help you transition to a less stressful lifestyle.

Happy National Dance Week from Your Dancing REALTOR in Western MA!

The week of April 29, 2013 marks the beginning of National Dance Week.

I have been dancing my whole life and dance is a huge part of who I am. Dance has been a hobby, sport, job, creative outlet, family bonding and friendship building experience for me. Most all, dance has been my outlet.

I am so grateful to have dance in my life now and love sharing the joy of dance with my daughters and my students at New England Dance Centers.  I appreciate spending time with these kids and really enjoy that they crave my experience and input. There is something so wonderful about sharing a passion with the next generation. It is very empowering to know that what I teach these young people will impact and help to shape who they become.

Dance is also a large part of why I am such a good (if I do say so myself) real estate agent for my clients and customers in Western MA. Dance taught me to set goals and take steps towards achieving those goals, dance taught me that determination and spirit will lead to success, dance gave me the strength and confidence to back up my thoughts, dance gave me the ability to gracefully accept constructive criticism

and dance gave me a quiet space inside to help find answers to questions. These are leadership skills that I may not have learned, or learned as well, another way.

So, while I am a full time (60 to 80 hours a week is full time, right?) REALTOR, a job that I truly love, I am glad to still have dance in my life. Some people spend their “down time” at the gym or playing poker or doing crafts. I spend mine at the dance studio with my daughters.

Below are some videos I have created about dance. There is one very short (and pretty crappy quality) video of me tap dancing and there is a video I made for the Abouthom.es Girls talking about why I love dance (in which I tap dance again).

If you want a REALTOR who learned important leadership skills at an early age and who loves dance, but never gives a song and dance in her real estate work then call Lesley Lambert, Dancing REALTOR at Park Square Realty in Westfield, MA.

On my daughter’s 12th birthday and the Law of Attraction

Happy birthday to my amazing daughter! @shaune...

Today is my oldest child’s 12th birthday.

She is an amazing young lady, but her momma is having difficulties coming to terms with the fact that she is so OLD! I cannot fathom how we got here so quickly, she was just a bald headed little baby who liked to play with her dollhouse…who is this woman-ish person who is almost my height and talking about college?

I know we can’t stop time from marching on and even though I am struggling with this, I wouldn’t turn back because I am always excited to see what she has in store. She is a straight A student and has been discussing colleges at school. When asked what she wanted for her birthday this year she told everyone, “Money for college”. You see, she has decided that she wants to look into Yale or Harvard. Birthday money isn’t going to put a dent in that tuition!

 

Which brings me to the Law of Attraction part of this post…

 

My mom always talked about “putting it out there”. What she meant was basically the same thing as what we call the Law of Attraction now; when you put an intentional thought, goal, need or desire into the universe then the universe will work to help you achieve the request. I have seen this happen over and over for me and in thinking about how quickly time has already passed, I realized that I will be paying college tuition sooner than I care to imagine. That means I need to kick up my income and luckily I am in a business where the only limitations to success are self generated. Knowing this, I am intentionally asking the universe (and all of you!) to help me get more homes to sell.

I am looking to find people who need to sell their Western MA home. Do you know someone that fits that description? Would you be willing to refer them to me?

 

Do it for the 12 year old! 🙂
