Falmouth, MA

The days are getting shorter already! But today was a beautiful day on Cape Cod! There were leaf peepers here on the Cape, trying to see as much of New England as one trip would allow.

I had some Italians (real ones, not just from the North End) in yesterday asking about how to get to the Vineyard. And there was a broker in from Colorado checking out the Cape. Today, others came from off Cape just to enjoy the off season on Cape Cod.

One tourist told me that the Avis rental agent at Logan Airport said they are renting 1200 cars a day just at their locations. Thats a lot of leaf lookers!

$550,000,000! That is Five Hundred and Fifty MILLION Dollars! In A Down Economy! For Construction!

Well it must be a good project! Plymouth Rock Studios announced today that it has secured a $550 million construction loan from a Florida company called Prosperity International. Now the Plymouth Rock Studios can close on the Waverly Oaks Golf Course and begin building! "Building what?," you ask.

The high tech complex will consist of 14 sound stages, a 10-acre back lot, production and post-production facilities, a theater and amenity (shops/entertainment) village. Producers will now be able to make movies and television shows from start to finish at one site in southeastern MA!

If you haven't looked at MAss real estate lately, now is a good time to start!

How often should you move the dryer and vacuum around the laundry room - even the walls? The professionals say twice a year. Maybe if you plan to do it twice a year you will get it done once. This is in addition to removing the vent hose to clean the lint build up in it.

Electric dryers and gas dryers should be cleaned more often when there are a large number of loads being done. Do you at least clean the lint screen when you put a new load in? That can reduce the time it takes to dry a load.

Cleaning your dryer is not only a good for keeping you home safe from fire hazards, it can help with energy efficiency, too.

Happy listing and selling real estate!

Hollywood East, the brain child of some experienced movie executives from Californiahas secured their construction financing! What does this mean? JOBS JOBS JOBS!!!

Not only are there construction jobs coming soon, but the 14 sound stages, 10 acre back lot, production facilities, offices, hotels, and shopping area will bring in more than 2000 jobs after construction. When you add the ancillary businesses and opportunities that will come to this area as supporting jobs, there could be as many a 20,000 new jobs.

Coupled with the new interest from notable people who want to have a home to use while they are doing business at the new studios, it's a beautiful day on Cape Cod!

I was honored to be invited to the 102nd Intelligence Wing Family Day last weekend at Otis Air Force Base. It is a time when the base awards service men and thanks friends and family of those serving.

One of my good friends, Technical Sergeant Scott Manamon, received two awards from his commanders. The day was full of good music, proud families and friends, and recognition of those soldiers and airmen who are working hard to keep us safe.

The personell at Otis have gone through a change from being a fighter wing to becoming an intelligence wing. I was glad to be present, and I know his family is very proud of him.
