Top 5 A+ Reasons to Hire a Real Estate Pro [INFOGRAPHIC]

by

OLD CAR is a Realtor® acronym stating the qualities and characteristics owed to the client. Obedience, Loyalty, Disclosure, Confidentiality, Accountability and Reasonable Care/Diligence.  Reasonable care and diligence really means getting something done.  When you take these words individually and in the order they are given, this is not the correct order of duties your professional agent will deliver.  YourStories Realty, it's all about you and so the first order of business is understanding what it is you want to accomplish, how and in what time frame. It is only when you fully understand the goals, wishes, wants and needs can you apply your skills to the task. No clients are alike, no houses are alike, no neighborhoods are alike each person and place is approached in real time so that in the game adjustments can be made. In the process of real estate, and make no mistake it is a process of actions, forms and dates, you will always have at least 3 Uh-oh! moments and 1 jump off the cliff moment.  It is part of the process.  Now agents can always remember that one easy, no hassle transaction, but this is not the norm. There area always issues that come up. Think about it, a house or a condo is a construction made of materials and filled with electronic devices, glassed in, doors, driveways, septic systems, free and clear title, easements, power of attorney, order of documents and signing...just saying there is a lot of things that can go sideways.  Emotions are a part of it and usually what derail the sale.  It is emotional to choose a house for your home, or choose to leave that home for a new house.  A house is what you buy, it is walls, doors, location and price; a home is what you sell because of the memories you created while living there.

Westwood, MA 02090 lifestyle and neighborhoods provide ample choice

Westwood, MA 02090 lifestyle and neighborhoods provide ample choice this fall.  There are 38 Active listings on MLSPIN at this writing that range in price from $559,000 up to $4,449,000. Single Family Listings: 38    Avg. Liv.Area SqFt: 4,773.16    Avg. List$: $1,594,053    Avg. List$/SqFt: $339    Avg. DOM: 111.13 is what the MLS has just given me as statistics.

If one looks at statistics as averages, the average size of the homes in Westwood is over 4,000 square feet. Not likely, is my thought.  Statistics are altered each and every day with the activity of that day.  If something new comes on, or something gets sold and goes off all the other statistics are skewed by that.  This is one of the reasons why a Zillow is untrustworthy in it’s analysis.

34 Briarwood Dr, Westwood, MA 02090 is a family type of neighborhood. Kids grow up playing in the street or in each others yards and pools, because they can in this safe, and centrally located neighborhood, blending newer construction into an already beautiful, and upcoming neighborhood. I say upcoming because behind this property sits newer $1.6M dollar homes, built by one of Westwood’s finest builders. This wonderful family neighborhood is moving towards it’s turn over. Neighborhoods turn over after a young family moves in, the children attend and graduate from Westwood’s highly rated educational system (this home is located only five minutes from any of the attended schools). The Sellers at 34 Briarwood Dr as such people.

They moved to Westwood for the schools and this particular house. It sits back off the road and is surrounded by old growth professional landscaping.  The house is quiet and cool because of the way it sits on the land and off the quiet street.  Privacy, seclusion and convenience back into the city are what this property offers.  There is also an in ground gunite pool that will make your back yard the destination for you, your friends, your kids and their friends for years to come.  It is clear, Westwood, MA 02090 lifestyle and neighborhoods provide ample choice
