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!

OK folks, if you live in, visit, work in or just drive through Westfield, MA then you know we are in the midst of several years worth of extensive construction improvements.

I have been offering updates to you…please feel free to share your news via comments here, too!

Today I drove across town and this was my experience with the construction:

I understand the delays continue at the Southwick Road bridge area, I am unsure how long that project is set to last.

Housing Needed for Western MA Families Displaced by Tornadoes

As we are all aware, Western MA had severe tornado activity last week. This left many Western Massachusetts families without their homes.

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!
