Selling Your Home

Just SOLD: Westfield Home Sold

Listing Sold! In Westfield MA
Do you want a REALTOR who gets the job done?

An agent that is using every possible form of marketing to expose listings to available buyers? How about an agent who has a proven track record and past clients willing to vouch for them? Well…you found me.

I don’t do everything well, but I am an extremely good listing agent because my marketing is modern, effective and strong.

If you are considering selling your home in Westfield, Southwick, Agawam, West Springfield, Chicopee, Holyoke or the Pioneer Valley at large, then I would love the chance to interview for the position and show you my marketing package. The contact me button will get you in touch!

How is the Real Estate Market in Western Massachusetts?

I am asked a version of this question each day. As a REALTOR in Western MA, it isn’t surprising that people come to me with this question, but it isn’t always an easy answer.

There are still a lot of changes in the housing, real estate and mortgage sector and these can be confusing to most people.

Today while driving to show a house, I listened to “On Point”, on NPR. Their interview with three authorities proves that real estate is local and that mainstream national media figures are not usually reflective of what is happening here for real estate in Western MA.

Most areas of Western MA were not driven as high during the boom. As such, they didn’t feel as much of the crash, either. There are, however, areas in Western MA that were heavily impacted with foreclosures. It pays to have a local expert who can discuss the facts as they apply to your home.

If you are curious about the housing market and what the future may hold, I recommend that you listen to this story…I found it very informative.

Western MA: Have You Seen Those Interest Rates?

If you are considering making a move, the recent drop in interest rates should pique your interest!

Sellers, this means more motivated buyers! Are you considering putting your house on the market? Get off the fence and take advantage of this window of opportunity.

Buyers, this means more house for your money! Use your buying power to get more house versus paying a higher rate. This post explains how huge a 1% change in interest rate can be in your process.

QR Code Marketing in the Wild…How Can REALTORS use them?

Yesterday I bought a plant at Home Depot and I noticed something different about their tags. A QR Code!

I got excited and scanned the code and found information on the plant, how to plant it and what other plants would go well with it. Very cool and interactive…what can REALTORS learn from that? Well…make sure your QR Code has good value. What audience is your code directed at? Is it on a sign rider? Then your audience are buyers who will want a lot of information at their fingertips about the home in question, as well as an easy way to get in touch with you.

The biggest argument against QR Codes that I keep hearing is that people won’t make the effort to download a QR Scan Reader program and then actually scan the codes. I agreed that it would be a fringe audience when I first began using QR Codes, but with major retail outfits like Home Depot, Target and Best Buy using them prominently, I think the time is ripe for trying QR Codes in your marketing.
