Looking for a few good buyers in North Kingstown, RI 02852 - sounds interesting...well I was at the sign store having some web site riders made up when the business owner showed me a sign he was making up for another realtor.  Yes, it was to say " Looking for a few good buyers in North Kingstown, RI 02852".  Well I do understand the chagrin the other realtor was feeling in doing this sign but where would he place it!! Not on my house or my office you don't- I say! It has challenged me also this month to get clients pre-approved through the mortgage lenders as the buyers credit scores are not where they need to be.  More work is definitely needed by the buyers to get their credit card outstandings under control and their general debt to income ratio in line with the lenders parameters.  ... 04/18/2010

As you can tell from my blogs I do enjoy Wickford RI with all its history, candy colored historic homes, the  wonderful Narragansett Bay location & the great luck to have a specialty store like Needle Designs a stone's throw down the road at 460 Tower Hill Road in North Kingstown RI (perhaps unique to RI but Wickford RI is the village within the town of North Kingstown RI- confused yet!).  The candy colored historic houses of Wickford RI are a definite segue into this store which is a favorite of mine.  Somewhat bias I suppose but they do all my embroidery for gifts.  What is the store you ask?  Needle Designs is the place. Especially for my son who is an arborist in South County, RI and all his business apparel is done with sweet success by this company.  Now Needle Designs is in a sma... 04/03/2010
