The #1 Question I'm asked?



     The number one question I am asked as a real estate agent is....yes you know what it is "Karen, how's the market"?  That is a very general question, a loaded question because the "housing market" is vast.  It pertains to the "seller" to the "buyer" to the "investor with deep pockets", and to the banks.  When I say banks I don't just mean the lendors, I am also referring to the banks who are holding the notes to the forclosured properties.  So you see the question has to be more specific.  Are you buying?  Are you thinking of buying an investment property?  Are you thinking of selling?  So with the #1 question that is directed toward me I have to return with the above questions to give an answer.
     I will say this in todays housing market the public has so much information at their fingertips to educate themselves, but it is always wise to consult with a professional real estate person.  You will be correctly directed in your real estate needs.  So, I love that #1 question to be asked to me, it opens up lots of real estate converstation, which is my passion.

My First MJ & Assoc. RE Blog

This is my very first blog on my real estate site.  What will you find on my blog here at MJ & Associates Real Estate?  Well to start off with you will soon find out about my passion for real estate.  I don't just mean "real estate" in the sense of the word itself, but the true meaning of the business to me.  This is a career choice I made whole heartedly.  I love the sense of "home" and all it entails.  Home is where we do our "living".  Home well Dorothy said it best "there's no place like home".  As an agent I get to find that home for you, or sell your current home to find another dwelling to call your new home.  I love being a real estate agent, working in the South Shore area of Boston.
