Town Tax Revaluations - Here they Come Again!  Well the sweet little town of Charlestown RI has just gone through a tax revaluation and the new values are in hand with the Charlestown homeowners.  And I am getting calls for help! Understanding why towns do tax revaluations is important. In Rhode Island, the state requires that towns perform a revaluation to bring properties to current market value.  Towns have municipal services (fire, police, schools,waste disposal and snow removal) which are paid for by the tax dollars that homeowners contribute to on their property as a town grows in population. The idea is to determine a property's fair market value based upon sold properties in the previous two years.  I usually hear from the people who feel there is no way their property could sel... 03/29/2011

Adventures are part of good real estate life so a night at the Charlestown RI 02813  Riverside Tree Farm corn maze did not turn out to be a cracked corn event.  Now the outcome has nothing to do with this well established farm and its offerings but more to do with a maze challenged realtor who should have stayed home!  This Riverside Tree Farm has over 65 acres and is a pesticide free farm that has many offerings besides this crazy corn maze. It is the largest corn maze, cracked corn or otherwise, in Rhode Island. Never had I had a corn maze adventure and with flashlight in hand how could I go wrong...well my clients' kids thought it would be very funny to get me in the middle and then desert me.. so I was somewhat mentally challenged to get out and it was spooky.  Where was my GPS when... 10/16/2010

Although Haley's Comet is not coming our way anytime soon, catching a falling star visibly through the telescope at Frosty Drew Observatory in Charlestown RI 02813 is a fun Friday night happening with the kids.  Yes, in little ole Charlestown RI this cool little observatory stands at 61 Park Lane, Charlestown and is in the Ninigret National Wildlife Refuge and very conveniently located from Route 1.  Now even big kids like me can be mesmerized by the stars on a clear Friday night (always check their web site to make sure they will be open) and even though it was a little cloudy last Friday it was worth the hour wait to view the skies.  Volunteer astronomists man the Frosty Drew Observatory station, provide information about the planets and galaxies yonder and you just learn a whole lot ... 09/14/2010
