Tax Day April 15th? Not this year!

April 15th is synonymous with images of long lines at the post office, empty bank accounts (for self employed people especially!) and the general gloom that surrounds “paying the man”.

Well, this year the deadline is pushed back a few days due to federal and state holidays. So, if you haven’t gotten around to filing your taxes, yet, you have a bit of time to get cozy with your w-2’s 1099’s and deduction receipts.

Federal taxes must be filed by Monday, April 18, 2011
Massachusetts state taxes must be filed by Tuesday, April 19, 2011

For more information on filing your taxes in the State of Massachusetts you can visit the government page.

For empathy on owing taxes due to self employment or other reasons, you can comment below. I had to pay out, too. Waaaaaaaa.

Don’t forget that owning a home or investment property can have a positive impact on your tax status…be sure to consult a tax professional to ensure you get all of your write-offs. Read this article for some starting ideas.

On Juggling and Happy Birthdays

Today was my daughter’s tenth birthday and I found it very poignant to think that I have spent a decade with this amazing girl.

I also needed to send off my video chat to my friend Diane and got to thinking about an adage that I learned years ago about juggling.

I also made a special video for my daughter as a virtual and everlasting birthday greeting.

My job as a REALTOR in Western MA requires a lot of juggling, but it is so gratifying and allows me to be flexible for my children.

Happy Birthday to my sweet ten year old!

REALTOR Safety in Western MA and Beyond

realtor safetyOn my drive into work today I listened to a story on NPR’s Marketplace about real estate agents attending courses to carry concealed weapons. In this day and age a large number of the properties that a REALTOR goes through are vacant and oftentimes not very secure. These properties are inviting to animals and worse yet, vagrants.

When entering a distressed property, I am always nervous and make sure that someone knows exactly where I am. I haven’t yet run into a circumstance where I have met a person squatting in a property, but often when doing occupancy checks on foreclosed properties the immediate past owners are still there and can be hostile.

I don’t feel a pressing need to carry a firearm in Western MA, but I can understand why a real estate agent in other parts of the country might have a higher concern.

Fellow REALTORS in Western MA and beyond, remember to stay safe.

If you want to listen to the story that I heard this morning it is here.
