Thank you for visiting MichaelTravers.com. I am here to assist you with all of your real estate needs in the Brighton/Cambridge, Brookline, Boston, Watertown, Newton, Belmont, Cambridge, Lexington and all of the Greater Boston Area.  When you're on the Internet there are a lot of real estate professionals offering advice. In this sea of information how do you pick the best real estate professional that will help you meet your real estate goals? While titles, associations and trademarks may look impressive the real question is, who can provide you with the best information using real local market knowledge? As a long time resident of Watertown, a real estate investor and having a career in real estate in the Greater Boston Area that has spanned over a decade I am able to provide valuable real estate insight as well as personal experiences in this ever changing market. When going through this process as a consumer you need to ask yourself serious questions regarding what you want out of the real estate process. As a real estate Buyer/Investor or a potential home Seller you need to have quick and accurate information to help you reach your real estate goals. Buyers/Investors:
When you are a Buyer/Investor in this real estate market you require the most accurate, real time information. I can provide that information with the following tools: | • | Market Trend Information showing market consumer changes and preferences. In other words, what's "Hot" and what's "Not"!
| | • | Comparative Market Analysis - in basic terms "what are properties selling for in the market you are interested in?"
| | • | Searching for properties the fastest, easiest and most comprehensive way and finding properties that meet YOUR needs, not waste your time!
| | • | In depth neighborhood knowledge - I can tell you where the schools, supermarkets, gyms, MBTA locations, etc. are located. |
Sellers:
In this ever changing market jumping in as a Seller can seem overwhelming. With my knowledge of this market I can help address the questions and concerns that hold back many Sellers such as: How much will I get for my home? & How long will it take to sell my home? I can help you answer these questions by providing tools that will not only price your home correctly in this market but also price it accordingly to help it sell faster: | • | Pricing - what is best price to sell a home and how do you determine the price? I will do a comprehensive review with you of all comparable sales of similar homes in your neighborhood.
| | • | Marketing, Marketing, and more MARKETING!!! What does this include?
***Professional and QUALITY photos of your property.
***360 Degree Virtual tours (let the Buyer/Investor take a walk through your property 24/7)!
***Staging! You only get one first impression - is the location of that sofa making your room feel smaller? Are those paint colors on the walls a bit too dark? I can help you make those decisions and make that first impression be the best impression Buyers/Investors walk away with! |
 And for anyone going through the Buying or Selling process it's important to have an agent who: Answers e-mail promptly and professionally, Respects your on-line privacy, Offers you the best quality home listings and other Internet tools to help you find or market a home. Privacy Concerns:
Concerned about your privacy while going through the Buying or Selling process? Are you reluctant to give out your personal contact information through the Web for fear of being pestered or spammed? I understand. I've learned the Web isn't just a place to do business; you need information from someone you can trust and I value that trust. Buying and selling a home is one of the biggest and most exciting events in your life. Buyers and sellers have trusted my advice since 1998. Partnering with me and Vanguard Realty is going to provide you with the most qualified agent, the most hands on service and the personal connection that you need when going through this process. I can offer the tools, solutions and wisdom that go along with this process - and I would be thrilled to join you on this journey! Best Regards, Michael Travers

First Time Buyers >House Hunting Tips
If you are house-hunting, you may spend hours looking at homes only to have them all blend into one giant blur at the end of the day. Which house had that beautifully designed great room? Was it the same one with the small master bedroom? You can remember what is important about each of the many properties that you saw by using the little tricks developed by real estate agents to help them identify the thousands of properties they see.
Carry a notebook with you when you are house-hunting, and give each house its own page. At the top of the page, note the address and price. Write down the exterior construction, style and color, as well as the color of the living room carpet and walls and any other major feature that will jog your memory later. You can nickname the houses--"the cow mailbox house" or "organic garden house"--anything to help you retain a mental picture of the property. This will enable you to recap the day and give your real estate agent important feedback that can speed up your search for the perfect home!
