Buying
07/22/22 | Ellie Botshon
Buying real estate is one of the most significant expenses you’ll make in your lifetime. Paying for the property itself, the attorneys’ and agents’ fees—plus all the little things that come up—can add up. When your attorney asks if you’re planning to shell out another $2,000-$5,000 for title insurance and $1,300 for homeowners insurance, you may think enough is enough, no more spending! However, no matter what that voice tells you, we always advise our clients to protect themselves and their property by purchasing title and homeowner’s insurance.
Greater Boston's market might feel like a rollercoaster, but we think that the numbers tell a different story. We didn’t have a particularly active residential real estate market last year, at least by local standards. Nonetheless, homes across most communities continued to hold their value — and even appreciate, in many cases.
As of November 2022, it’s illegal to dispose of any textiles in the trash here in Massachusetts. You may have read the headlines or heard a neighbor complain about it (or perhaps you were the one complaining?). But what the heck are you supposed to do with your old socks and stained undershirts? They sure look like trash—why can’t you send them to the dump? The answer is logical, and we’re prepared to get you excited about giving your textiles new purpose after you’re done with them.
It’s the end of the year again, which means it’s time to look back and reflect on 2022. This year, we’ll focus on how we were able to turn lemons into lemonade! Here are some of the most challenging—or as we like to say, interesting—experiences we’ve had this year.Â
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.
