Sears Hometown Makes Entry Into North Kingstown RI   New business entries into the North Kingstown community are welcome and big box stores have to fit into the location.  We have Kohl's, TJ Maxx, Walmart, Home Depot to name a few businesses set off by themselves and they do supply jobs and can be a good employer.  This week Sears Hometown opened up in the shopping plaza next to TJ Maxx on Post Road and the reason I knew it was there was because of the Patch.   If you are like me now, most of my current local and national news comes from online. So  this store is a smaller version of the big box Sears and has tools to vacuum cleaners.  That was the key word 'vacuum cleaner'.  It fit in nicely in the town and became another contributor to the tax base!   See I have a vacuum cleaner as ol...

Wickford RI Winter Scene | Ice Boating Only There is nothing like the RI coastal real estate scenes in and around Wickford.  The beauty of this historic waterfront Rhode Island village continues to amaze me at all times of the year.  This winter has been brutal to the small businesses trying to bring shoppers out to their stores....whether it is the cold winds or intense snowstorms, most of us are now counting days to spring!  Hard to believe I would say that since winter can be a beautiful time for the landscape here. It is just so nice to see the green of the lawn against the vivid blues of Wickford Harbor go hand in hand.  Right now the blue and white combination needs to be appreciated here.  Some people are braving the waters and enjoying the ice boating now which I can not fathom!...

Another Pending North Kingstown RI Home Ready to Close This North Kingstown home is ready to close, past the pending stage and home buyers can not wait to get down to updating this sweet 3 bedroom home on a spacious lot.  North Kingstown RI real estate does not come cheap.  Finding this home at the right price is the challenge that brought these buyers to me. After working with two other real estate agents who did not do their due diligence on potential home buys, their father referred them to me.  Does Dad know how to refer well?  They have been a great pair and we found the right home, where they wanted, and at a price they could afford.  We took the negotiating of price to the edge and the buyers were so thankful for pushing it forward.  Timing was right all around and this seller wa...
