Allan Dalton is … really annoying

Just about everyone in real estate has seen this video.
It’s Allan Dalton, tearing Zillow.com a new one.
Allan Dalton is the new chief of Move.com, which, like Realtor.com, is run by the National Association of Realtors (Move.com is a publicly traded corporation). **
Basically, in the video, he goes on for about ten minutes complaining about Zillow.com, [...]



The Sears Buildings – apparently, modular was in, then

Maybe I’m the last to know about this.
Apparently, the Sears, Roebuck Company liked consistency in its buildings.
In the early 20th century, the corporation built several large buildings across the United States that were very similar, if not identical, in design.
Who knew?
Here are some of their buildings, built around the same time.



Buying a home for the first time? Here’s everything you need to know

The Globe has a great bunch of articles helpful to people thinking about buying their first single-family house or condominium.
I couldn’t say it better, myself:
The Globe quotes information from Mass Housing, a great state organization whose mission is to help first-time home-buyers.

44 Prince Street – prices stay constant

The timing of such a project may seem odd, to some, seeing as the real estate market in Boston, and the rest of the [...]



Mortgage lenders want your business – really bad (ly?)

Mortgage lenders need borrowers, right?
So, apparently, sometimes they find out you’re looking to borrow, and start bugging you with phone calls all day and all night.

Borrowers who believe their mortgage applications are private should think again. Other lenders, and their telemarketers, can easily find out that they have applied for a mortgage …

North Station + Bulfinch Triangle area hits a roadbump

It’s aggravating to hear when developers either delay or out-right cancel their projects.
Unfortunately, it looks as though two North Station developments might end up that way.
Avenir Boston, as most people know by now, is “re-valuating” their sales strategy. The project may become rentals, instead. (My advice? Pay your monthly mortgage on the land, [...]
