From late February through early April, Maple Sugaring is one of the first signs of Spring in New England.

West Newbury is fortunate to have local residents like our neighbor Paul, who carries on this tasty tradition each year.

Please join us for a presentation of how maple syrup is made and - of course - to sample some authentic West Newbury Maple Syrup on our Praline Baked French Toast!!

The newly enacted legislation may boost home sales.   Did you know that qualified first-time homebuyers may receive a tax credit up to $8,000 as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.   In addition, with interest rates at an Historic Low, this is the best time to put your home up for sale!   We are now in the middle of the spring market and there is no better time.   Buyers for your home can take advantage of this opportunity and you win as well!    If you would like more details, please call me @ 978-462-0055 to discuss further.

I want to thank all of the brokers that attended our “Broker Appreciation Luncheon” yesterday, March 19th from 12-3pm.  We had a great turnout with 18 attendees!  Our developer Stephen Gillis made his famous chili & cornbread!   It was enjoyed by all.  Again, thank you to all and I look forward to working with you and your clients in the future.
