Just Listed! 120 Boylston Circle Shrewsbury
Open House SUNDAY JUNE 12th 12-2pm

 

 
This center-chimney Cape on a great lot has a classic look and great bones: nicely proportioned rooms, hardwoods and neutral decor. In the front of the home, you’ll find the living and dining rooms, which are both quite spacious. The kitchen has lots of square footage and overlooks the picturesque backyard. A side mudroom with lots of space for hanging coats and hoodies is the perfect drop zone for all your “stuff.” One of the three bedrooms and a full bath complete the first floor. The two other bedrooms and a large, updated family bath, plus more storage, are upstairs on the second floor. The partially finished basement features a home office and lots of storage for things like toys! The high-efficiency boiler is just four years old. There’s also solar hot-water panels, a new sump pump and even an organic garden in the stunning yard with mature landscaping—which, by the way, can be enjoyed from a composite deck–or take it all in from the hot tub. One-car garage.

Shared Office Space Coming to Shrewsbury Center

Exterior Photo of 555 Shared Offices in Shrewsbury available Fall 2016
Future Home of Thrive Real Estate Specialists at 555 Main Street in Shrewsbury

Celebrating Two Years in Business with Achievements and Opportunities


 
It’s been an exciting time for the THRIVE team recently. Reflecting on my recent achievement of Emerald Status and a humbling nomination for Realtor of the Year, it’s amazing to me what we have been able to accomplish in just two short years. Yes, we’ve sold a lot of houses, but more importantly, we have helped people create new homes, and making people happy is the most rewarding aspect of our business. Looking forward, opportunities continue to arise for our team at THRIVE as well as for our clients and business associates.
 
555 Shared Offices Shrewsbury Front Entry

Shared Office Space
is Coming to Shrewsbury!

 
I’m particularly thrilled to be able to share with my clients and the community an exciting new office space opportunity that is opening right in the heart of Shrewsbury at 555 Main Street, in the former location of Flagship Bank. We at THRIVE will be relocating our offices to this elegant workspace and we will be handling leasing for the entire building.
 
Five Fifty Five is considered an “uncommon workspace community,” and it capitalizes on a true sense of community with a vibrant shared office space concept that allows multiple businesses to share a common environment. The building includes a central lounge area with amenities like shared office equipment, a kitchen and café, and WiFi, plus an outdoor lounge area and a state-of-the-art iPad-controlled entry system. These common areas are coupled with renovated private offices that feature acoustic baffling when the moment calls for peace, quiet, or privacy. I envision a sociable work environment where individuals from different ventures can come together for collaboration and to share ideas.
 
In addition to THRIVE’s new office location in the front area of the building, there are nine offices available to small businesses looking to relocate to a dynamic new setting. With lots of on-site parking spaces and a functional, elegant layout, small businesses will find this beautiful office space extremely accessible to clients and associates. Leasing will begin in September of 2016.

From a community perspective, the full occupancy of 555 Main will help rejuvenate Shrewbury’s downtown area. “We always like to see buildings fully occupied if possible in terms of both upkeep and vibrancy,” says Kristen Las, Assistant Town Manager and Economic Development Coordinator for the town of Shrewsbury. With the renovated library set to open in September of this year, two of the downtown area’s largest buildings will be occupied, bringing people and commerce to the heart of town and fostering new growth.


 
For additional information regarding the prime office space at 555 Main Street, including a master floor plan, leasing availability, pricing, and building tours, please visit http://www.thriverealtors.com/555-shared-office-community-shrewsbury-ma/ or call me at (508) 641-9323.

This is a whole lot of house! The updated kitchen sparkles with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and on trend cream cabinets offering plenty of storage. An open floorpan combines the dining room and living room, with hardwood floors, a fireplace, and–thanks to great windows–an abundance of natural light. The dining room also features a custom built-in cabinet. The master and two additional bedrooms all have hardwood floors and ceiling fans. Downstairs, you’ll find a spacious yet cozy family room where you can sprawl out. There’s also a full bath down there, with laundry. How nice to do laundry in a finished space! You’ll be amazed at the amount of outdoor living space as well. A small deck overlooks a great patio and, beyond that, a fire pit and nice grassy yard. There’s also a one-car garage. Gas heat! Situated on a corner lot, this home will not disappoint.

Lakeway Commons Coming to Shrewsbury

Site Plans for the new Lakeside Commons Development in Shrewsbury MA

Shrewsbury Looks Forward to
New Lakeway Commons Development

 

During the last few weeks, many of us witnessed with some nostalgia the demolition of the longstanding Spags Route 9 storefront and its nearby buildings. Understandably, Shrewsbury residents are more than a little curious about its impending replacement, Lakeway Commons.

Spags discount store first opened in 1934, and it operated until 2002 before being purchased by Building 19. The discount store became a mainstay of the Shrewsbury community as its reputation grew and it drew in bargain hunters from around the state. Building 19 closed the store in 2013, but many people agree that it had really begun to lose its original character under its new ownership. The demise of Spags is the end of an era that provided many a fond memory for longstanding town residents.

While we may be bidding farewell a storied institution, there’s plenty to be excited about as construction of Lakeway Commons gets underway. Designed by the Grossman Development Group as a mixed-use development, the Commons will feature retail and restaurant venues including a Whole Foods supermarket and branches of UniBank, Visionworks, Sweet Pizza, Burton’s Grill, Starbucks, Tavern in the Square, and Jenny Boston.

Whole Foods recently obtained a liquor license for its Shrewsbury store, authorizing the new site to sell alcoholic beverages. Sweet Pizza brings to Shrewbury a fast-casual pizza venue designed around a make-your-own pizza concept. Jenny Boston, a multi-store enterprise specializing in women’s fashions and co-owned by two Shrewsbury businesswomen, is opening its sixth store and first Shrewsbury location.

The 23-acre Lakeway Commons development has been designed with the feeling of a village center in mind. With bus accessibility, off-street parking, and pedestrian access, the venture will also include residential living space comprised of 250 rental apartment units as well as 14 townhomes for sale. Townhomes will offer 1,400 to 2,000 square feet of living space.

Lakeway Commons is slated to open starting in mid-2017 and is expected to revitalize the Lakeway Business District.

While change often involves a twist of wistfulness, our community continues to evolve. Its rich history includes historic homes, an erstwhile amusement park, a mansion devoted to candy, and a beloved, old-school discount store. I’m excited for the opportunities that this next chapter in Shrewsbury’s narrative will bring, as its sure to spark a new vitality along Shrewsbury’s Route 9 corridor.

Important Questions to Ask when Interviewing a Listing Real Estate Agent

Checklist when interviewing a real Esate Agent to List your Home

 
 
 
 

What Should You Ask
in Your Listing Agent Interview?

Maribeth Lynch, Owner/Broker
Thrive Real Estate Specialists

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

10 Most Important Questions you MUST Ask When Choosing a Listing Real Estate Agent

Bodybuilding – jackdaniels1 – Photos – page 1 – Club Doctissimo altamofen 20 the 17 mistakes of bodybuilding newbies (and how to avoid them).
When you sell your home, you want to be confident that you are partnering with a real estate agent who is a good communicator with ample experience and the right approach to selling your home. Qualified listing agents should be motivated, connected, and invested in your sale.

So … how do you assess these qualities before signing on with an agent? The answer is really quite simple and highly crucial if you want to be certain you are working with a results-oriented agent who has your best interests at heart: Interview a number of listing agents and ask thoughtful questions designed to help you determine whether you’ve found the right person to help you sell your home.

Here are a few “must-ask” interview questions that any listing agent should be able to answer without hesitation:

1) Where do you live?

This may, at first glance, seem like a nosy question, but it’s not! It’s a very fair question to ask a listing agent, because no one can represent a house better than an agent who lives and works in a particular community or area.

2) What was your volume last year?

An agent should be able to provide you numbers quickly if not right offhand. You should ask how many homes he or she sold in terms of dollars and units. Each market is unique, but in our local market a productive agent should sell minimally 15-20 units per year and should have a yearly volume in excess of $6 million.

3) What is your list price/sale price ratio?

Finding out whether an agent generally makes a sale close to the initial asking price will help you determine whether the agent is skilled at properly pricing homes.

4) What were the last three homes you sold – and when?

Were you the listing agent or the buyer’s agent? Since you are looking for an active agent, consistent production is a must. You’ll want to take into account the market, of course (when the market is sluggish, sales are slower), but in general, finding out about the agent’s recent sales history will help you assess his or her activity as well as the type of sales he or she has made. Also, listing agents and buyer’s agents employ different skill sets, so be sure to break down their production in terms of homes they listed and homes for which they represented the buyer.

5) When I contact you via phone, email, or text, who will be returning my messages?

Some agents list a house and then pass of the rest of the work to their “team.” If you want to be assured that you will be working directly with the agent for the duration of the sale process, this is a fair question to ask.

6) When I contact you and leave a message, how long will I wait before receiving a reply?

Agents who see a lot of activity may be otherwise engaged when you happen to call, but it shouldn’t take hours before you receive a response, particularly when the matter requires a timely reply. An agent who doesn’t get back to you in a timely manner might be too busy for your business. Real estate agents like anyone else, do have unexpected occurrences pop up, but your agent should communicate to you in advance anything he or she has scheduled (a trip, a seminar, a family event, etc.) that might take him or her out of the loop for any amount of time – and inform you whom you can contact in the interim.

7) Can you provide me with three references from sellers you’ve worked with?

An agent should be able to list sellers with whom he or she has worked recently. If you receive a list of references comprised of clients the agent worked with years
ago, that should be a red flag.

8) Do you have a vendor list of subcontractors and professionals who you can recommend?

This is a very valuable aspect to hiring an active, local agent — he or she has established relationships with professionals ranging from attorneys, movers, and stagers to engineers, electricians, painters, landscapers, and many other must have services. In a busy market, getting a response from a contractor can be tricky, but an active agent refers lots of business to others and will be able to get quick service that will benefit you.

9) Why should I hire you?

This is a great, challenging question. The answer should help you determine where your goals and the agent’s goals match up. If the answer doesn’t resonate with your vision for the sale, you need to interview some additional agents.

10) What is the most important quality you possess that makes you good at your job?

This is a great question because this is, after all, an interview. Gaining some insight into what drives your agent to strive for success can tell you a lot about him or her.

I assure you that I am fully able to thoroughly answer any question on the above list and I prepare for listing presentations like I would prepare for a job interview. Any qualified listing agent should be able to do the same in order to provide you with the facts that you need to make an informed decision about listing your home.

Go into your listing interview looking for an agent who is prepared, on time, can show you a plan to sell your house, and who listens to you. It usually (but not always) takes an agent at least two visits to your home to render an opinion on price, but you can assess his or her other qualities during that first meeting. You are going to spend a lot of time and money with the agent you hire, so make certain that you have a positive feeling about his or her ability to represent you and your home. A fruitful collaboration will ensure that you get the value you deserve for your investment, and you should be able to get a sense of that value right up front with a thorough listing interview.
