This is about the new Massachusetts law in place to prevent potential oil leaks from oil tanks. The law went into effect September 30, 2011, and homeowners have to upgrade their systems. If you are buying or selling this is important to read.

I have met several homeowners lately who have been unable to sell their Massachusetts homes for whatever reason, yet have had to find some way to make ends meet. One solution that I have found for these homeowners is to help them rent their property.
Where the average days-on-market for listed property in our area is 200+ days for single family homes and 175+ days for condominiums, the properties that I have rented have been on market for an average of 47 days. Renting your home or condominium can be a lifesaver if you find yourself forced to move, yet have been unable to sell your home. Rentals are in demand in our market.
I provide the marketing that you need to get your home or condominium rented. You would need to have your attorney draw up the lease to meet your needs, and you should check with a tax attorney or accountant to see if there would be any tax consequences to renting. Call me at 978-537-6401 x38 – I can answer any questions that you have about the process.

A Christmas Journey at the Ecotarium, Worcester MA: This special children’s Christmas event takes on Saturday, December 11 and 18, and Sunday, December 12 and 19 (12:30, 1:30 and 2:30 p.m.). From their site: “The magic of this hour-long journey begins with storytime, featuring Chris Van Allsburg’s classic winter tale The Polar Express. The holiday tale then comes alive as the EcoTarium’s “elves” help families to the train station to board the Explorer Express Train for a trip around the EcoTarium’s grounds. The December air feels festive and joyful as the children ring their bells along the route. After traveling the grounds, you’ll head back indoors to warm up with hot cocoa and cookies — and, at the end of your journey — enjoy a special visit with Santa. Each child will have an opportunity to personally visit with Santa. Be sure to bring your camera to capture your child’s special moment!”
