Not all home improvements are created equal and you should enter your renovation investment with some understanding of the resulting home value.
You might be surprised to learn that replacing your entry door with a steel door has a huge rate of return. According to the Cost. vs. Value Report a steel door replacement could give you a 104% return!
A minor kitchen remodel could gain you 90% and a wood deck upgrade or addition could bring back over 77% of the investment made.
If you are considering selling your Western MA home, I would love to meet with you.

I 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.
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.”
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.
If you are looking to buy a home in Western MA, I would love to assist you with that, too!

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.
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?
