Condos for sale walkable to Longwood MBTA Station - Boston, MA Real Estate For Sale Below are my picks for the top condos for sale that are walking distance to the Longwood MBTA station on the Green Line.  The Longwood area is a a highly desirable area to live, primarily for how convenient it is for employees and resident students of the various hospitals and research facilities including Beth Israel, New England Deaconess, Brigham and Women's, Harvard Medical School and Mass College of Pharmacy.  Living in this area has you in the heart of the city of Boston but if you need to venture outside and leave your car at home the proximity to the MBTA's Green Line and both the Longwood and Brigham Circle T stops will have you where you need to be with ease.  Take advantage of the recent exten...

Most Affordable Two Bed Condos For Sale Walking Distance to Charles/MGH MBTA Station - Beacon Hill West End Real Estate For Sale Below are my selections for the top two bedroom condos that are an easy walk to the Charles/MGH subway station located in Beacon Hill/West End of Boston.  There's not much to be added about this incredible, historic area, but, in addition to some of the world's top real estate for sale, Beacon Hill and the West End are close to everything: from shopping and fine dining to the best in the city's arts, entertainment, and museums.  As parking comes at a huge premium, being near an MBTA stop is a huge advantage when living in Beacon Hill and/or the West End.  Residents of this area can take advantage of some of the city's best mingling and dining at the Liberty Ho...

Yesterday we had early snow - preceded by pouring rain.  But what a difference a day makes! It was a  beautiful blue sky autumn day.   Good thing too - I had a tour scheduled for the Back Bay in Boston this afternoon. It's a park-and-walk kind of place so bad weather would have nixed our tour.  Instead, it was a glorious day - no need for a jacket - and the perfect weather to soak in this beautiful neighborhood.    "One of the brightest gems in the New England weather is the dazzling uncertainty of it. There is only one thing certain about it, you are certain there is going to be plenty of weather."   -- Mark Twain

Rates were under pressure from better than expected economic news and rising stocks. Retail sales, weekly jobless claims, and industrial production data were all better than expected. The improved economic outlook had investors flocking to buy stocks, which helped the Dow Jones index to close over 10,000. For the week, interest rates rose nearly 7/8 of a discount point. The producer price index data to be released Tuesday will be the most important data this week. Any signs o...

The Consumer is Now in Control of the Process -  Realtors Must Change or .... Recent surveys indicate that the average Realtor is 53 years old, technophobic and does not relate to the average home buyer (31) who wants to control the home buying process.  They expect responsive, tech savvy agents to provide service without commitment.  The challenge to the real estate industry is - can it change?  Will companies and agents integrate technology and adapt their business process to be more consumer centric? Virtual Homes Real Estate provides home buyers and sellers with an interactive Internet portal that offers tools and dynamic information without commitment.  For agents, our Internet marketing system generates leads that are qualified by the inside sales team for distribution to agents w...

Lately, I am having to remind buyer that real estate agents and brokers are not licensed mortgage brokers. I find that many buyers expect us to know everything there is to know about the mortgage industry, despite the fact that rules may change at any time. I think that a real estate agent should have general knowledge of mortgaging and lending, including interest rates and new trends. Buyers should understand that the real estate agent's job is to help them find, negotiate, and secure a house. This includes working with contingency deadlines, 6D certificates, fire certificates, and on time delivery and execution of all documents. Buyers cannot rely on brokers for accurate mortgage information. That is the job of a mortgage specialist.

Clay Buchholz scattered five hits and no walks over 6 2/3 scoreless innings in his sixth consecutive quality start. David Ortiz homered and drove in three runs, Victor Martinez and Dustin Pedroia extended their hit streaks to 23 and 16 games, respectively, and the Sox cut their magic number to three. The Boston Red Sox head to New York to face the Yankees in a classic fall battle. It is going to be a great weekend for baseball fans at the New Yankee stadium.   Thinking of buying, or selling  a home in Red Sox Nation, Just give Joseph D. Federico a call-781-389-8700

Boston Bruins Unload Phil Kessel. Unable to come to contract terms with Phil Kessel, and confident they can live well and prosper despite the loss of his scoring punch, the Bruins last night shipped the right wing to the Maple Leafs for three draft picks, a pair of first-round choices and a second-round pick. Its hard to believe that the Bruins first game is October 1st against the Capitals.

 The Boston Red Sox Beat Baltimore 3-1. Meanwhile, the Rangers remained in the process of excusing themselves from playoff consideration. Their loss to the Angels extended Boston's wild-card lead to seven games and slashed its magic number to 10. Oh by the way the Yankees lost as well. What another great night for baseball fans.      Thinking of buying, or selling  a home in Red Sox Nation, Just give Joseph D. Federico a call-781-389-8700
