Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

Major malls nearby ... Auburn , Providence Mall,Emerald Mall, Framingham Mall and you have the Wrentham Outlets! GAS...save so much on the price you can pay for gas for more than 5 years and still be ahead!  ( the average American moves every 5-7 years)

Licensed MLS salespeople to work site Sundays, needed. 

In our low price range,the first mortage payment runs about $800-900 a month, so you can afford to get an equity loan from the same lender with payments being under $1,500 a month total with taxes, etc.    This is just an off the top of my head example, but if you know how to figure loans, use $200,000which is our lowest price....HOW CAN YOU BEAT IT....LESS THAN RENT...
credit for taxes, what more can you ask for.  Ths is based on a loan with interest at aprx 4.72%

Rod Stewart's, home in Architectural Digest

Architectural Digest 10/04 ROD STEWART  I saved the copy of the magazine, so I could look at it and dream.  His house is one of the most beautiful homes I have ever enjoyed.  Color is so important in my life.  Color rules, soft and gentle, then bright and bursting....I like to change with seasons, or with moods.  During my down periods, I seem to decorate and punctuate with red, during smoother times, I lean toward blues.  It is so refreshing to change the decor of a bedroom, or living area, by just switching the throws and pillows, and in a room with lots of color, you can mix and match, predominant colors.  Excitement, rules, there is a secret in every corner, a message behind the decor, the Lord's prayer and angels sing from my ceiling, while books peek out of every resting place they find, squeezing a place among the family pictures that punctuate the rooms.  Books full of secrets, just like my house is full of secrets waiting to be divulged by looking at the decor, and its hidden messages.   Our home is a small picture of a busy, exciting and full life, full of challenges, travels, discoveries, and creativity.  Is your home a microcosm of your life, and why not?

Diamonds are a girls best friend, or is it a house?

Diamonds are a girl's best friend, how can we forget Marilyn Monroe singing that......and on his last divorce,    Rod Stewart said something like this,
next time, instead of getting married, I will just give her the house.

  Wow! you should see his house!  It was in one of the magazines, and it is my taste, lots of color and excitement, something like an ice cream sundae in feeling that you could just plunge into and explore with taste, sight, and feeling.  He obviously likes color and beautiful things!

Houses are for everyone who knows how to save money, and if you haven't started, start this week.  A good income can even help you get an equity loan if you need a downpayment, can you believe that...???Call us today for your chance to get into your first house, or your mansion, or something in between
we cover the waterfront...well actually, there is no water, but we cover all the price ranges for new houses......$200,000 ( can you believe that) to million plus with home theater and gym, under construction now in Natick...508-881-6662.  Be pleasantly surprised at our deals!
