"For us, it really paid to work with a local agent who knew the market, because we never could have found this property on our own!"

And speaking of our area, if you haven't been here before you will LOVE it! We have little crime, almost no traffic, and loads of natural splendor everywhere. Our country atmosphere hasn't been spoiled by the suburban blight of strip malls and and interstates, and that's just the way we like it! Visit our local pages for more information on the towns we serve -- Athol and Orange being the largest towns in the area, but there are several other even smaller communities as well!
Are you here to find local real estate listings? You've come to the right place -- and we have three places for you to check out, depending on what you are looking for. Interested in one of our listings (perhaps you saw the website on one of our property signs) -- click here for a detailed view of our own listings. If you are just curious about what is available overall in our market, you can search the local MLS listings and get summery property data here, no logon or password required. Ready to move on, with access to ALL details of ALL listings? MLS rules require that you login to access that data, but if you are willing, you can do so here. (Choose the sign up now option, and you will be able to search the MLS any way you like -- including subscribing yourself for daily email updates as new properties are added.)
If you have any questions at all, feel free to contact us anytime, and we'll reply promptly!

Accepting An Offer >Know Your Price Range
As a homebuyer, you may have found the perfect new house for your growing family, but what if it is a little out of your price range? You might list your current home for more than it is worth and be lucky enough to find a qualified buyer who is willing to pay the price, but it is impossible to know in advance what your home will sell for.
If you want to sell your home quickly, have a frank and detailed conversation with your real estate agent to determine the best price for the house. Setting your price within 5% of the fair market value of your home greatly increases your chances of getting solid offers that will result in a relatively quick sale.
Don't buy and sell so close to your target amount that you become anxious when the numbers don't meet your expectations. There may be other approaches, such as adjustable rate mortgages or owner financing, to increase your buying power and get you into that new home. When you are selling one home and buying another, you will need more than good luck. You will need a highly professional and experienced real estate agent who can give you solid advice on how to make the transaction work for your particular requirements.
