Selling
12/4/17 | Liz and Ellie Local
With 2017 winding down, we're pausing to reflect on our first year as team Liz & Ellie, and our first year with Compass Real Estate. It's been a great year. We've gotten to know our talented, knowledgeable, and experienced colleagues in the Cambridge office. We've learned so much from each other, including exactly how many sugars Ellie takes in her coffee and the fact that Liz prefers cheese to cake. Best of all, we've been involved in over 30 transactions helping wonderful clients buy, sell, and rent homes throughout the Greater Boston Area.
With April 15 fast approaching, taxpayers are gathering receipts and official forms and filling out tax returns (or else there’s some serious procrastination going on). We want to remind homeowners that a myriad of tax breaks exist if you own a home–so don’t forget to take your rightful deductions!
How much could you save in property taxes with the residential exemption?
Happy International Women’s Day! Today, we celebrate the contributions of women all over the world. But because we’re Liz & Ellie Local, we are highlighting the incredible life of Cambridge’s first Black school principal, Maria Baldwin. Our very own Liz Lyster sits on the Cambridge Historical Commission, and she shared with us that Maria Baldwin’s home on 194-196 Prospect Street was approved as Cambridge’s 43rd designated landmark during their recent meeting. This means that the publicly-visible exterior of the home is protected from alterations, and the home will be preserved as an important part of Cambridge’s history. It also means that people need to know what Maria Baldwin accomplished that drove this landmark designation. Her story does not disappoint.
With their complementary communication styles, responsiveness, competence, and ability to truly listen, Ellie and Liz enable their clients to feel at ease throughout any real estate transaction. They would welcome the opportunity to be your next real estate advisors.
