Quarterback Tom Murphy threw three touchdown passes and ran for another in the Rams win over Millbury High 32-21.
The Rams second half defense did its job while the offense looked good adding some points...This was a fun game to watch on Local Channel 3 TV. Wishing continued success throughout the season....GO RAMS...
Northbridge will travel to Leicester next Friday night looking to go 2-0...

| Showing Your Home |
| Showing your home is probably one of the most important parts of the selling process. Consider the following carefully as you prepare your home for viewing: » First impressions mean a lot and often prospective buyers make a decision almost immediately. » Curb appeal is important since many buyers search by themselves and then call agents about property they have only seen from the street. » Fresh paint on your house's exterior and interior is one of the easiest and best improvements you can make to enhance that first impression. It makes your house look bright and clean. If you paint, use whites, creams, or neutral colors on the interior and exterior colors that will blend with the neighborhood. If you don't paint everything, at least paint the places that need it most. » Get rid of clutter. Clutter doesn't sell. Sometimes clutter can be described also as too much décor, too much furniture, too much stuff on the mantle, etc. » Don't cook fish prior to showing your home. Not that you need an air freshener, but you don't want that first impression to be a bad odor. » Keep yards and vegetation mowed and trimmed. » Keep pets out of the house when showing, especially dogs, since many people are afraid of dogs. » Open blinds and curtains so rooms are bright and inviting. » If your house is shown by an agent it is best that you are away. If you cannot leave, remain in a separate part of the house and allow your agent to work for you. Refrain from attempting to point out special features, or initiating idle chat. Do not follow them around. Buyers are uncomfortable in the presence of sellers and it could spoil their tour. Take the dog for a walk or go outside. Trust the skills of your agent to present your house for you. Prior to showing, discuss with your agent everything you would like to convey to the buyer. It is in your best interests. » Be flexible. Your house could be shown at any time. Agents do everything possible to arrive within a certain schedule, but sometimes this isn't possible. So too, they may call at a moment's notice which means your house should be ready for viewing at any given time. This eliminates the need for panic and will help reduce your stress level. |
A couple of tips buyers should know about credit....always check with your lender to help you obtain and keep the best credit report possible.
For all your real estate needs feel free to contact me below....
| What to Know About Credit |
| There is nothing more important than your credit when it comes to buying a home. The first thing a lender will do is review your credit report. This is a history of money you have borrowed in the past and how you have repaid those debts. It contains a list of debts such as credit cards, car loans, and other loans. It shows any bills that have been referred to a collection agency. It lists other public record information such as liens or bankruptcies. And, it documents inquiries about your creditworthiness and whether you were extended credit or not. Your credit report is constantly updated and most information is deleted after 7 years (10 years for bankruptcies). This credit information then helps generate a computer-derived number that indicates your risk as a payer of debts. This is called your credit score. Your credit history and/or your credit score is used to decide whether your loan is approved and it could be used to determine your interest rate. If You Don't Have Credit If you haven't established credit, start now. Perhaps apply for a credit card or two, then use them carefully and pay them off each month. Once you've done this, you've started your credit history. Next, apply for credit on a store purchase such as an appliance, or a TV. Do this even if you have the cash to pay for it. When the first bill comes, use your cash to pay it off in total. You see, buying on credit and paying it off helps your credit better than buying something for cash. If You Have Bad Credit It can take awhile to improve bad credit, but it can be done. Since credit scores reflect much of your most recent activity, the first thing you should do is to start paying on time. Pay all of your bills, even if it's just the minimum. Never pay less than what is due, and never pay late. And, don't max out your credit cards because it indicates poor money management. One of the best things you can do is to make a budget to help with your monthly expenditures and then live by it. Also, start a savings account and make it part of your budget. You will need money for a down payment, or it will help if you lose your job or source of income. |

I am the Broker/Owner of Hillview Realty. Over 12 yrs full time experience 9 years working for Prudential Prime & RE/MAX. My goal is to make every transaction run as smoothly as possible. Questions?
I currently hold Membership in the National Association of Realtor, Ma. Association Of Realtors and The Greater Worcester Board Of Realtors.
I am e-Certified and have passed certified courses in relocation services to help buyer and sellers moving in and out of the state. I became Broker/Owner in Sept.09 of Hillview Realty.
While being licensed since 1978 I have really been working full time since 2001. I believe being a full time agent keeps me more aware of what is going on in the industry and for me at least, I am better able to serve. Nothing puts a smile on my face more than knowing that I have happy clients at the closing table and they appreciate the job I have done. Who do you know that I might be able to help in the sale or purchase of a home?
In my free time I love to play golf and take my boston terrier for his walks. I enjoy hiking and heading out to the ocean. Love all my Boston sports teams. Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics and Bruins with the boys of summer being my number 1 team. Coached and umpired both my daughters softball teams as they were growing up. All in all I love being in the great outdoors.
I work mostly with Residential, New Construction, Land and Multi Family's... I work with both buyers and sellers and have been a full time agent for 12 yrs. I do work most of Ma. but I do try and concentrate on The Blackstone Valley and surrounding towns.
After working as a salesman for so many years I have recently become Broker/ Owner of Hillview Realty, my virtual home office. I make it easy...I come to you...I limit the number of transactions that I work at one time so I am better prepared to satisfy your needs. Quality not Quantity is something I strive for in helping my clients and the consumer.
If you have someone you would like to refer to the Blackstone Valley, Worcester County area I would be glad to help make both you and the client very happy.
These are just some of my testimonials from some wonderful clients.
Hi Dennis,
When we planned on selling our house, which was a 2/1/2 family dwelling with a separate cottage and a four car garage, we called Dennis to be our agent. He came over immediately and gave us a few pointers on what we needed to clean up, replace or make presentable. He was very helpful, giving us many suggestions so our house would look appealing to prospective buyers. He took panoramic pictures of all the rooms to display on his web site. I think when people see your house first on the web site, they get a better feel for what they actually will be seeing. Anytime I had questions for Dennis or wanted some suggestions he was right there with advice.
We didn't go wrong in selecting Dennis as our Real Estate Agent, because it wasn't long, even in a sagging buyers market that he had quite a few interested buyers. We finally found the perfect buyer for our home and Dennis was there through it all.
You won't go wrong selecting Dennis as your Real Estate Agent. He knows his work and does it well.
Louise G, Douglas Seller
Dennis helped me to purchase just what I was looking for, a home. His diligence goes unmatched. I really felt comfortable dealing with him. I would refer him to my friends if they are looking to purchase a home. Thanks Dennis.

Dear Dennis,
Sorry for taking so long to get this to you but I wanted to write a few words to thank you for all of your hard work.
We had the privilage to work with Dennis both buying and selling a home. When we were looking to buy a house, Dennis's professionalism and expertise was a true asset. He was able to help us find a wonderful home and we felt he gave us a true knowledge of the area and homes with which we had to choose. When we had to relocate and sell our home we knew we wanted to have Dennis help us sell our home. He made the process very easy from start to finish. His knowledge of the market and area helped us price our home competitively. Dennis worked with us and made us feel like we were his only client. He definetly goes above and beyond in all aspects and we greatly appreciated that. You can't go wrong choosing Dennis as an agent when buying or selling a home.
Thanks so much again. 1000xs better than when we relocated from NC. Hope you and your family are well.
David and Amanda A, Northbridge/Whitinsville, Buyers/Sellers
