Park Square Realty Top Real Estate Office in 2010

I don’t spend a lot of time bragging about statistics or spewing sales statistics, but it is important for you to know why I have chosen to work with Park Square Realty in Westfield, MA.

I began my real estate career with my mom who was broker/owner of a small office in Westfield, MA for decades.  She retired and closed her office while I was on maternity leave.  When I decided it was time to re-enter the real estate profession I picked Park Square Realty because they run their company with the same values and concepts that my mother and I believed in.

Another reason that I chose Park Square Realty was because of their high standards for full time REALTORS.  These standards have created an environment of excellence and high production.  Our team is small, about 55 agents (compared to our nearest competitions over 200 agents), but mighty.

I am proud to report that our company remains the top company for our service area in 2010.

PARK SQUARE REALTY IS:

#1 Real Estate Company for home sales in Westfield Sales in 2010.

#1 Real Estate Company for home sales in West Springfield, Agawam/Feeding Hills, Southwick & Westfield Quadrant Sales in 2010.

#1 Real Estate Company for home sales in Agawam, Feeding Hills & Westfield Sales in 2010.

The final standings for the agents in the company aren’t out as of this post, but I was the #1 agent for the first half of 2010.  This has been a good year for Park Square Realty and for me and I look forward to another year of helping people in Western Massachusetts buy and sell homes.  Please let me know if you have any questions or need help!

Fence makes bad neighbor in Western MA

OK, so it is possible that the following tale was an accident, but I seriously doubt it.

A client of mine is purchasing a home for her children and herself and found a good deal on a bank foreclosure in Western Massachusetts.  We have gone through all the hoops and are at the end run hoping to close before the end of the year when we get a call from her attorney telling us that there is a title issue.

It seems that when the survey was done by the bank, it was discovered that the next door neighbor’s driveway and fence is a bit more than three feet onto the property we are trying to purchase.

Well, these things happen, you say (as did I) until we recalled that the driveway and fence in question appear to be brand spanking new.

I am speculating here, but am fairly sure of myself in thinking that these people next door took advantage of the vacant property status to enhance their own property holdings.

My buyer still wants the home, so now we have embarked on an attempt to reach the neighbor to get the proper paperwork signed to protect my buyer from liability, etc.

But seriously, assuming that my guess is right: what gall!

Foreclosure is enough of a problem in your neighborhood without causing easement, title and legal disruptions.  Reducing the size of your neighbor’s yard will not increase your property values as their sale is the current comparable for value and if you lower their value you lower your own.  If you can’t do the right thing just because it IS, indeed, the right thing, then at least consider your own property values.
