Electricity on Cape Cod is only second to Hawaii when it comes to cost. Is it time to put wind turbines in Nantucket Sound to defer this cost. Will people on the Cape actually enjoy the energy savings from the wind turbines or will they sell off the energy to other states? Let me know what you think about Cape Wind and how it may effect our tourist industry.
A great time to be enjoying the Cape.
The off season for the Cape brings alot less traffic, time to socialize and network with your friends and neigbors and gear up for the Holiday Season. It is a great time to reflect on the year and get ready for 2009!!
I received an email from a prospective buyer today who says that he is putting his home search on hold because his business is in flux with the downturn in the economy and he is fearful where the future will take us. I found this to be totally absurd because 1) He is a cash buyer 2) He was looking for an investment property.
I would think with the short sales and foreclosures the rental market is strong and he would do well with an investment property right now rather than leaving his money in say the stock market.
The news stories of the economy have paralyzed buyers and yet when they look back 5 or 10 years from now they are going to wish they bought now - especially with the interest rates being so good.
Have any of you got the sense that fear alone is driving buyers to make irrational decisions?
Let me know.

I enjoy bringing the right buyer and seller together. Wether you are a first-time home buyer or seasoned home owner looking for an investment or retirement home, I have the experience to find what you are looking for with your next move. The most important attribute I display in this economy is patience and market knowledge. I grew up on the Cape and am very familiar with local school systems, government bodies and recreational facilities. I have developed a large referral system of contractors, bankers, lawyers and appraisers that will make your buying or selling experience enjoyable.
I am also very dedicated to my profession. I am committed to making customer service my ultimate goal and building a network of friends and clients.
The area of expertise I accelerate in is working with Buyers looking to make Cape Cod their final home. There is a strong demand from the Baby Boomers looking to retire and spend some quality time on the Cape. In addition, I also work well with Buyers who are looking to buy their first home or to move-up to a bigger home. All of these markets are strong regardless of the price range.
I have a business background in Finance and am very familiar with the different financing programs that are available to Buyers as well. I have a large resource of bankers and mortgage brokers that can assist buyers with the right program for their needs.
Here is a testomonial from a couple with two year old twin boys where I was able to successfully sell their home in timely manner and move them into a larger home that happened to be bank owned. There were four other offers on the bank owned property and we got the accepted offer!!!
Dear Laurie-
Just a short note of thanks for everything you did to help us buy our new home. It never would have happened without you - you really went above and beyond for us and we really do appreciate it. The boys love the new house! Josh and I look forward to watching them grow up in our new home.
We'll be having a big bash in the near future to thank everyone involved. We will give you a call when we have a date.
Love, Josh, Ellen, Neven and Sean
