SUCCESS STORIES

Just a quick note to say thanks for the outstanding jog you did on the sale of our home. I knew going in it would not be easy considering it would be the most expensive re-sale to have sold in Hopkinton. You guys have a solid reputation and I knew seeing you "SOLD" signs on many of the upper end homes that you would come through for us. Thanks again, Jim Corsi (Former Red Sox Pitcher)

Thank you so much for being great to work with at 8 Stone Crossing. Your prompt responses both to calls and with questions made the process smooth and efficient. I hope we mange to work together again. C.B. Keller Williams Realty

Although Blanche and I have decided to add on to our present home, I wanted to let you know we both felt you were an excellent Realtor to work with. As a buyer's agent, you were both knowledgable and patient. You were very helpful in informing us about home values in and around Hopkinton. We will certainly keep in touch for any future needs. S.T. - Hopkinton

I wanted to let you know that I think your http://www.myhousepartners.com/ website was an outstanding tool in finding our 1st home. It was great to be able to see the homes with addresses as soon as they came on the market. You made finding our dream home in Franklin easy! Thanks, Bruce & Yvonne Rogers

Congratulations on your induction into THE RE/MAX HALL OF FAME! This is a tremendous career achievement for you and one which you should be most proud. We realize the the overwhelming effort you have expended in order to reach this goal and it is my pleasure to be one of the 1st to congratulate you! Providing consistent customer service is an intregal part in earning this prestigious award and it is obvious that the quality of your service is undurpassed. It is truly a pleasure and honor to be affiliated with you within the RE/MAX organization. Sincerely, Dave Liniger, Chairman of the Board, Founder of RE/MAX

I just wanted to say thanks for a job well done. As you know Wayne and I didn't know you but found out about you from the postcard you sent us of the home you sold down the street. We were both impressed with you at our 1st meeting and continued to be right up until closing. Your attention to details was great but the thing that was most impressive was selling our home in only 2 1/2 weeks and close to the asking price in this tough market.We wanted to let you know we would recommend you to anyone buying or selling a home.Thanks again for all your efforts.Susan and Wayne Merkle - Northbridge

"Thank you, Bill, for the great job in selling our home in Milford. In a tough real estate market, you were able to sell our home in a favorable amount of time and close to the listing price.

SMART QUESTIONS TO ASK THE REALTORS YOU ARE INTERVIEWING

1. How long have you been selling real estate?

2. How many homes did you sell last year as a seller's agent?

3. Of the homes you sold last year, again as a seller's agent, what was the average number of days from the original list price to the accepted offer?

4. What was the average ratio between the listing price and the selling price?

5. What kind of market share do you and your company have?

6. Do you have a personal assistant?

7. What is your experience selling homes in my town?

8. Can you provide me with at least 3 recent

references?

9. I have read the internet is an extremely valuable tool. How will you market my home online?

10. Do you have your own personal website for marketing homes?

11. When a buyer calls on my home will you ALWAYS be the one they speak with?

12. How will you communicate with me regarding your efforts?

13. How readily accessible will you be?

14. Once the offer is accepted will you be attending all the inspections?

15. How will you verify that the buyer is qualified to buy my home?

16. What are your fee structures and why?

17. WILL YOU ALLOW ME TO TERMINATE OUR AGREEMENT IF

I AM NOT COMPLETEY SATISFIED?

Interesting Real Estate Statistic........

ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS....93% of all Real Estate transactions are done by 7% of the people in Real Estate.

What this statistic says loud and clear is that there are a lot of part time Real Estate agents that don't do much business.

The take home message is that selecting a top agent to work with is paramount if you want to increase your chances of being satisifed with the home selling process.

  • Lordvale Acres Grafton Massachusetts 23 Samuel Drive Just Sold

    Grafton MA Real Estate ~ Just sold 23 Samuel Drive Grafton Massachusetts at Lordvale Acres. Sold at $203,000. Sold on 5/29/09. Sold by Bill Gassett, RE/MAX Executive Realty. nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; I recently completed the sale of a very nice unit at 23 Samuel Drive at Lordvale Acres in Grafton. If you are considering purchasing a townhome and are on a tight budget, the condos at Lordvale Acres offer a very good value. For around $200,000 you are able to get a townhome with two bedrooms and 2.5 baths as well as a 1 car garage! Most of the units have a finished basement which brings the gross living area to around 1600 square feet. Many of these townhomes with finished lower levels walk-out to daylight by double sliders so they don't feel like a typical basement. On the 1st floor you will find a very open floor plan with a kitchen, dining area, and living room. Many of the Lordvale units have a full slider out to a small deck area. The 2nd floor comes with two very good size bedrooms along with a bath in each bedroom. The master bedroom also has a balcony/deck area in many of the homes. Lordvale Acres was built in the mid 1980's. There are 150 townhomes in the complex. The homes are heated by forced hot air (Gas) and come with central air. The condo fees as of June 2009 are $242.00. Adjoing the Lordvale Acres condo's you will also find a newer area of townhomes known as Forest Hills. The pricing in the Forest Hills neighborhood is a little bit more expensive as the units are a lot younger. Prices of the resale units range from around the mid 250's up to around $400,000. There are still a few NEW units that are being built and these are priced around the $330's. Thinking of selling your home in Lordvale Acres, Forest Hills or other Metrowest/Grafton neighborhood? Call or email me...I would welcome the opportunity to show you how my online marketing can get your home SOLD! One of the things I do with all the properties I market is create an online presence. Over 85% of all buyers find their home online. These posts and my blog are highly indexed by Google...in fact this may be how you arrived here?
