I was not feeling that good old holiday cheer and thought some snow would help. I should'nt have said that because the Law of Attraction was listening and sent a blizzard to New England the day after Christmas.  We got a foot of snow here in Bellingham, MA. Not to be outdone the Law of Attraction has now conspired with Mother Nature and we are in the midst of a second Blizzard of the season. Total so far? 15 inches and still falling.   Dude where's my grill? 3 hours later:   Dude, seriously, where's my grill?   Thank God for condo living! We won't be breaking out backs trying to shovel out of this mess. And to dear Mother of Nature and her cohort the Law of Attraction- YOU WIN   01/12/2011

I'm becoming my mother more and more every day.  She's a master at mixing leftovers and making a delicious meal. We now have two kids and need to be more frugal than ever.  I've been making meals with pantry leftovers and last nights was a hit! Have some left over ham from the holidays?  What about those half full boxes of pasta in the cabinet?  Got some cream of whatever soup in your pantry?  Throw it together and voila! Creamy, delicious, winter night comfort food. And fast too! Here's what you need: 2 cups Cooked Ham 2 cups Pasta 2 cans cream of whatever soup (I used mushroom but celery would probably be delicious too) 2 cups of milk 1/4 cup grated parmesan fresh cracked black pepper to taste Here's what I did: Chopped up the left over ham in bite sized pieces (I'm saving the bone f... 01/11/2011

"Sometime" this Summer, FHA will be slashing the seller concession from 6% max to 3%!    In its announcement, the agency said the change would occur in "early summer" after publication of a Federal Register notice and a public comment period.  Concessions of 6 percent are still allowed and will be until FHA announces they're not. Buyers and sellers who have a legitimate need to build concessions into their contracts can still do so, but they need to know that the clock is ticking.   My advice is:  If a home sale deal needs the 6 percent FHA feature, get the contract put together as fast as possible! 06/07/2010

Held on Saturday October 17th from 6-8pm the Pumpkin Stroll is Bellingham's annual kickoff to Halloween.  Kids arrived in costumes, parents in tow, to stroll amongst the carved pumpkins all aglow!  Several businesses from the Bellingham Business Association, including Realty Executives Tri-County, Inc. were standing by to hand out candy and in our case much needed warm hot chocolate on this chilly night. There was local talent as well.  Members from the Bellingham Senior Center serenaded us with beautiful renditions of old favorites. But the pumpkins were the main attraction.  Kids of all ages were encouraged to carve pumkins and deliver them to the town common.  There were prizes for the favorites in several age categories.     This is the 4th year for this annual event and every year ... 10/21/2009

Different parts of the country use different search engines.  They use different real estate websites. I just checked out a Hit Router blog by Active Brad and saw something that really didn't surprise me but caused me to say "WHY?!"  According to his blog "over 100,000 consumers searched ActiveRain for Real Estate in specific cities using the "Search For Homes" feature" in April of 2009. Well I checked the graph on his blog and there were virtually no cities in the Northeast?  Philly, PA was there but is anything south of New York really in the Northeast?  (PA people, I know you'll tell me if I'm wrong). Here at Realty Executives Tri-County, Inc. in Bellingham, MA we are going through an important and I believe essential change.  We have joined forces with Realty Generator to bring our ... 08/27/2009
