Don't Fear A Stock Market Drop In December 2017Why? With all the records the stock market is making, there will probably be a correction. Think about the history of stock market rises, and then add in both the season we are in and the previous decade.There will probably be "profit taking" by individuals and managers of portfolios. Why not? The stock market has never been this high.And if investors sell a little now, profits can be spent and/or reinvested. In addition, it appears that the economy will keep growing. If this happens there will be more records.For example, a 1% drop in prices is 250 points. In 1930 that was  BIG,   HUGE. However, today with a of 250 points, even 500 points or 2%, the market is still in record territory. I think that some profit taking is coming, and I am no... 12/19/2017

Why Sellers Shouldn't Be At A Showing, Inspection, Or Walkthrough.Why a seller should not be present at showing, inspections, or walkthroughs.Here's why a seller should not be present at showing, inspections, or walkthroughs. Most people only buy and / or sell real estate every 5-10 years. They are out of practice, not up to date, unaware of how litigious real estate has become. They try to learn the language of real estate online, and that language has changed since they last bought or sold a property.I ran across one reason to use an experienced real estate professional today in reading a draft Purchase and Sale Agreement. There, buried in a list of clauses, eighth in the list as a matter of fact, was a clause that could be a problem for a seller who has engaged in direct conversation... 11/01/2016

What does a termite tunnel look like? Here's one example.What does a termite tunnel look like? Here's one example from a house we have listed. I have seen termite tubes going up walls, or along a beam or sill, but I have never seen one that looks like a stalactite. This beam also has "powder post beetles" but the hanging structures are termite tunnels.This is a great Cape Cod location. Almost one acre and two buildings that were built around 1920. They have seen The Cape develop and evolve from a man made island of woods, cranberries, strawberries, and seafood related businesses to a resort destination for people from all over the world and all walks of life.Abutting this property is land that has been set aside as conservation / not developable.
