This just may be one of the best quotes I've read in my 33 years of being in real estate... “Just because you know a realtor doesn’t mean they’ll do the right job for you,’’ Presti said. “They may not be working full time in the business or have the right experience for selling the type of property you want to sell or they may not be committed enough to put your needs first.’’  "In fact, an experienced agent, if you listen to their counsel, can help you avoid most of these mistakes, save for one: picking the wrong one in the first place."

There are a lot of "realtors" with real estate licenses these days but it takes much more than a license to be a REALTOR®. Boston.com's article on The Things Home Sellers Do That Can Turn Off a Buyer or Kill a Sale hits the nail on the head! Great read if you're thinking about selling your home now or ever! 

Windhill's real estate advisors are experienced and willing to answer any questions you might have about the home buying or selling process. 

Boston, MA is the most gridlocked city in the country! It's hard to believe we outrank Washington D.C., New York City and Los Angeles for traffic congestion but according to a new annual global traffic scorecard by Inrix and reported by WGBH, we are at the top of the list! What can you do about it? Why not move to a commuter town? Ipswich, MA and many other northshore towns are home to the commuter rail. Let us help you make the north shore your home. Leave the city grind behind.
