I am seeing more and more properties being listed and priced near the mortgage balance that is due.  That is alright as long as that is the true value of the property.  If the value is less and the price is still at that "balance due" level then I believe we are doing the seller and ourselves a d...

Last week I was not happy with an intern who left working for me to visit a friend in Great Britain.  He had just finished moving our web sites to a new host when he left.  "I'll check my email" he said as he went out the door.  Of course there were problems.  The sites never were accessible whil...

Just as there is a Jim in New Jersey who had a vision to grow his company to dot the landscape with yellow and black signs...I hope to be the Jim who grows his company in Massachusetts and accomplish the same thing. Jim Weichert started out in 1969 with one office and now can claim to have over 5...

After my Sunday blog about how my website "weichertcastles.com" went to number one in the Google search under my city's keyword "newton real estate"...I had many responses.  Many were congratulatory.  Some were asking for the secret to being #1 in the search.  Some were lol at my thanking Weicher...
