Left Behind…
October 15, 2011
Reaching out to see if we can get this done! 🙂
I have a landlord client in Worcester that is cleaning up after some tenants who just moved out. It was been discovered that they left behind a one year old male, unfixed, cat. He is very friendly and scared. Currently dining on peanut butter and cornflakes. We have called many shelters and they are full.
Transportation can be arranged and the landlord will put in a $25 gift card to Pet Smart for the person who will give the cat a home. No charge for the cat. Can you help?
Price drop!!!

This is a great location with top shelf renovations *mostly* done. Check out the pictures and the video and then let me know when you want to see it in person.
The hand tiled master bath is a great picture to look at…don’t pass by the inlay tile in the master bedroom either 🙂
Legitimate Website Resources for Foreclosure Help
August 16, 2011
Foreclosure is a hard fact in the current market and I speak with someone daily about it…a new client, someone looking for information, a seller who has to short sale to avoid it or a buyer who is looking for one thinking it’s the next great deal. It’s a sad thing.
The latest estimate is that 2 in every 10 homes is facing foreclosure. Part of my work is to help home owners avoid foreclosure by facilitating a short sale that will put them on a path to financial recovery. It’s not the only solution though. I want to share some of the free resources that are currently available to home owners who are in financial distress. Feel free to share this with someone you know. It might help them start to get they help they need.
