After sitting vacant for many years and in very poor condition, the old paper mill, sited on approximately 12 acres in downtown Pepperell, MA, has been torn down.  Quite a few proposals have been set forth over the years to develop the site but today's economy has made it a difficult proposition.  In hopes of making the site more desirable to investors, the extensive mill site has been reduced to a pile of rubble.  Overlooking the Nashua river and just below a dam on the other side of Main street, the first paper mill was established around 1834 and the Pepperell Paper Company was the final successor to a series of companies that have operated the mills until it closed in 2002.   In the past, plans have been set forth to create a village with a mixed used of commercial and residential b... 07/19/2011

Whether you're a REALTOR or the average person, I'm sure you've heard this statement "I'm going to take my house off the market because no one is looking to buy during the winter." Or, how about this?

Let's take a look at the first statement: No one is looking at houses during the winter - Interestingly, we aggressively market and sell property year round but Integrity Residential Brokerage closed more homes from Octo... 11/01/2010
