Living Local in Halifax: Market Momentum, Real Estate Realities & Small-Town Charm At Boston Connect Real Estate, real estate is about more than buying and selling homes—it's about celebrating community. That's exactly what co-hosts Melissa Wallace and Kristen Howlett did on the May 17th episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, where they highlighted Halifax as part of their "Living Local" series and discussed the current housing market with a mix of laughter, insight, and heart. A Busy Market and Buyer Surge Kristen kicked off the conversation noting how the market has finally shifted into high gear after a slower-than-usual start to the year. “The floodgates have opened,” she said, describing a surge in buyer activity. With six new listings at Boston Connect alone that week—ranging from $390,000 to $2.3 million—the team is buzzing with energy. Buyers are active and serious, and while the days of wild bidding wars may be easing, competition is still real. Kristen shared that one of her recent offers was among 14 others on the table. “The buyers who are out there now are educated and intentional,” she added, noting how first-time buyers are especially cautious with decisions like waiving home inspections—something that's expected to change soon due to upcoming real estate law revisions. Building Relationships, Not Just Transactions Both Kristen and Melissa emphasized what sets Boston Connect apart: relationships over transactions. Whether it's making a friendly intro call to another agent or checking in for offer feedback, the goal is always professional connection. “This is a relationship business,” Kristen noted, stressing the importance of communication, follow-up, and shared knowledge within the real estate community. Highlighting Halifax: A Hidden Gem This month's “Living Local” spotlight was on Halifax—a small but mighty town where Melissa happens to live. From local lore about the mysterious closure of the Stop & Shop, to the community's favorite businesses like The Candy Jar florist, the team celebrated what makes Halifax special. Halifax residents and Boston Connect agents like Jess Page and Christine Fisk also chimed in with love for their hometown. When Agents Create More Than Closings The team also shared highlights from their recent Mother's Day event hosted at the Boston Connect office. What started as a simple idea years ago became a warm, joyful gathering where clients created custom floral bouquets and connected over mimosas. Kristen remarked how fulfilling it was to see a long-standing vision finally come to life: “It started as a conversation four years ago—and now it's tradition.” Bonus Listing Shout-Out: Hanover Highlight Agent Tracy Grady called in to share details about a stunning colonial listing at 49 Waterford Drive in Hanover. Despite past hiccups with buyers backing out, the sellers invested in upgrades like pressure washing, wood replacement, and freshening up their mahogany-ceilinged porch. With back-to-back open houses, Tracy and her team are confident this gem is ready for its next chapter. Looking to Buy, Sell, or Explore Your Community? Whether you're moving across town or across the South Shore, Boston Connect Real Estate is your trusted partner in all things real estate—and community.

Navigating Today's Market: Real Estate, Retirement & the Reality of "Staying Put" At Boston Connect Real Estate, we know that buying or selling a home is only part of the story. That's why our Talk Real Estate Roundtable goes beyond listings and open houses—diving into the bigger conversations that shape our lives, our neighborhoods, and our futures. The May 3rd episode was no exception, featuring a special two-hour crossover with financial advisor Alyssa McNamara Reed of McNamara Financial, and plenty of insights for today's market. Real Talk: The Lock-In Effect and Aging in Place One major topic? The “lock-in effect.” With many homeowners locked into low mortgage rates from years past, the incentive to move has decreased—even when families have outgrown their current homes or want to downsize. Sharon McNamara emphasized that this challenge is especially tough for the Boomer generation, who often struggle to find affordable, appropriate housing alternatives. As a result, more people are choosing to age in place. But staying put doesn't mean standing still. We guide clients in making smart updates to their current homes and planning ahead for lifestyle changes—ensuring comfort, safety, and resale value. Financial Smarts: Supporting the Next Generation Alyssa McNamara Reed brought a valuable financial perspective to the conversation, especially when discussing the difficulties younger buyers face in today's competitive market. High interest rates, low inventory, and rising home prices have made it harder for first-time buyers—often requiring help from family, creative financing, or significant cash reserves. Many parents are asking: How can I help my adult children become homeowners without jeopardizing my retirement? Alyssa shared strategic options, including tax-efficient asset withdrawals and the importance of keeping savings diversified outside of retirement accounts. A Tale of Two Markets Sharon recently returned from Texas, where she helped her daughter house hunt. The contrast between Dallas and the South Shore was eye-opening: more land, more new construction, and significantly lower prices. But as Sharon pointed out, “We won't see that here.” With limited land and dense zoning regulations, Massachusetts simply can't build at the same scale. That makes our inventory even tighter—and our market even more nuanced. As a boutique brokerage, Boston Connect offers personalized guidance to help clients make the right move in this uniquely challenging landscape. Looking Ahead: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know While the market may be “quiet” in terms of listings, it's still active beneath the surface. Homes priced correctly and presented well are still moving quickly. Sharon and Alyssa discussed the importance of preparation—whether that's staging a home for sale, structuring an offer creatively, or managing your finances for the long term. At Boston Connect, our mission is to provide that holistic support. Because every move should be a moving experience. Ready to Plan Your Next Chapter? Whether you're buying, selling, or simply preparing for the future, the Boston Connect team is here for you.

Living Local: Celebrating the Charm of Pembroke with Boston Connect Real Estate At Boston Connect Real Estate, we believe every move should be a “moving experience.” That philosophy shines through each week on our Talk Real Estate Roundtable show, and our latest episode was a heartfelt celebration of one of our favorite communities—Pembroke, Massachusetts. This episode kicked off with hosts Sharon McNamara, Melissa Wallace, and Kristen Howlett reminiscing and laughing their way through local life and real estate. While real estate is the heart of what we do, our passion extends far beyond just buying and selling homes. We're about building community—and Pembroke is a town that makes that easy. Why We Love Pembroke Nestled between Boston and Cape Cod, Pembroke offers that perfect blend of rural beauty and suburban charm. The town's roots trace back to 1650, and it officially became a town in 1712. Historically known as “the place of much fish,” Pembroke's identity is deeply tied to its abundant waterways like Furnace Pond, Oldham Pond, and Silver Lake. It even once featured a lively amusement park called Mayflower Grove! During the episode, Kristen and Melissa shared a blend of town trivia, historical tidbits, and personal stories—like Sharon's father being one of the first to water ski across Furnace Pond. The sense of pride and nostalgia was palpable, reminding us why Pembroke feels like home even to those who don't technically live there. A Strong Sense of Community What sets Pembroke apart is its tight-knit community. Whether it's the bustling farmer's market in the summer, the homegrown businesses like Blackbird Baking Company, or the everyday smiles you get walking into town hall—Pembroke is a place where people show up for one another. We love seeing our agents not only work in this town but be part of it. Many serve on school boards, volunteer locally, and raise their families here. As Melissa said on the show, “We're not just selling a house—we're selling a lifestyle, a community, and everything that makes it special.” Real Estate, the Boston Connect Way Whether you're a first-time buyer, a growing family, or someone thinking about downsizing like Kristen mentioned on air, Boston Connect is here to guide you through the journey. Our team's expertise is backed by local insight and genuine care for the communities we serve. And with our newly redesigned website and fresh marketing campaigns, we're more ready than ever to connect with buyers and sellers across the South Shore and beyond. Thinking About Making a Move? Whether you're looking to buy in Pembroke or explore the South Shore, let's chat. We'd love to help you find the perfect place to call home.

Gutter Done! Spring Maintenance Tips For Homeowners As we welcome warmer weather here on the South Shore, it's the perfect time for homeowners to turn their attention to spring maintenance — starting at the top of the house with your gutters! Recently on our Talk Real Estate Roundtable radio show, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Mike Parks, owner of Mighty Mike's Gutters & More, to talk about why gutter maintenance is one of the most overlooked — but most important — aspects of homeownership. Why Are Gutters So Important? Think of your gutters as your home's first line of defense against water damage. A properly functioning gutter system channels rainwater away from your home, protecting your roof, siding, foundation, and landscaping. Without routine maintenance, clogged or broken gutters can lead to costly repairs — including rotted fascia boards, foundation cracks, mold, and even interior water damage. As Mike shared, “Water always wins. It's going to find its way in if your gutters aren't doing their job.” Signs It's Time To Clean Your Gutters Mike recommends homeowners do a visual check of their gutters each season. Look for: Overflowing water during rainstorms Sagging or pulling away from the house Plant growth (yes, even trees and bushes!) Staining or mildew on siding Mulch or dirt splash-back near the foundation If you notice any of these signs — it's time to call a professional. What's Included In A Professional Gutter Cleaning? Mighty Mike's Gutters & More provides thorough gutter cleaning services which include: Clearing debris from gutters & downspouts Flushing the system for proper water flow Inspecting brackets & fasteners Identifying rotted fascia boards or potential damage Recommendations for repair or replacement when needed Mike also offers fascia board replacement if damage has already occurred — because fixing the problem behind the gutter is just as important as clearing it. How Often Should Gutters Be Cleaned? In Massachusetts, Mike recommends at least once a year — ideally twice for homes surrounded by trees. Cleaning after the leaves fall in late autumn and again in early spring helps prevent clogs and ice dams. Ice dams, especially in New England, are a huge concern. If your gutters are clogged heading into winter, trapped water can freeze, back up under your roof shingles, and cause interior leaks. Gutter Guards — Are They Worth It? While gutter guards can help reduce debris buildup, Mike advises homeowners to consider their specific situation. “Gutter guards aren't a one-size-fits-all solution,” Mike explained. “Certain tree debris like pine needles and small seeds can still clog up gutter guards — and sometimes they make cleaning harder because debris sits on top.” More Than Just Gutters Mighty Mike's Gutters & More doesn't just stop at gutter cleaning. Mike also offers: Power washing Small exterior repairs Window cleaning Seasonal maintenance consultations His business is built on trust, hard work, and a local commitment to keeping South Shore homes safe and sound.

Smart Moves: Top Tips From The Talk Real Estate Roundtable At Boston Connect Real Estate, Sharon always reminds homeowners — whether you're thinking of selling now or years from now — taking care of your home today protects your investment for tomorrow. Here are some of the top Gutter Tips for Homeowners from our recent Talk Real Estate Roundtable with Mighty Mike's Gutters & More: Gutter Tips for Homeowners: Clean your gutters at least once a year — twice if you have heavy tree coverage. Schedule your cleanings after leaves have fallen in the fall and again in early spring. Watch for warning signs like water overflowing, sagging gutters, or mildew on siding. Check for splash-back near your foundation — it could signal clogged gutters. Keep downspouts clear and extend them away from your home's foundation. Be cautious with gutter guards — they work in some situations but may not be ideal for homes with pine trees or heavy debris. If you notice water inside your home or staining on ceilings, check your gutters and fascia boards first! Hire a professional and don't attempt high elevations on your own! Maintaining clean, functioning gutters is one of the easiest ways to prevent expensive repairs and keep your home looking its best year-round. From All of Us at Boston Connect Real Estate... At Boston Connect Real Estate, we know that taking care of your home is one of the best ways to protect your investment and prepare for future resale. Partnering with trusted local professionals like Mike ensures your home stays in top condition year-round. Ready to talk about your real estate goals?

I haven't been to Kauai since they started the new shuttle service so I wanted to see first hand how getting around Kauai works using the service up on the North side of the island. . I became interested in testing out the new shuttle system, which was introduced to handle the growing number of visitors. Getting around Kauai - Why the Shuttle System Was Necessary The North Shore regions of Hanalei (remember the song Puff the Magic Dragon?) and Haena Point experienced extreme crowding. About 3,000 visitors arrived daily at this location, resulting in significant frustration for local residents and travelers. The location was unable to support such a high number of visitors, which makes getting around Kauai a lot easier. The North Shore regions of Hanalei and Haena Point experienced extreme crowding. About 3,000 visitors arrived daily at this location, resulting in significant frustration for local residents and travelers. The location was unable to support such a high number of visitors. This new reservation system limits the reservations to 900, a significant change for the good. Don't Miss Limahuli Garden I recommend visiting Limahuli Garden if you have available time to experience its beautiful botanical displays featuring Hawaii's native plants. The gardens provide a brief tour of 20-25 minutes that works well between shuttle rides. The shuttle makes a stop at this location so passengers can disembark to explore before getting back on later. My Shuttle Experience and Hiking Trail Getting around Kauai on the North Shore Shuttle Bus The 12:40 pm shuttle slot was ideal for me because I intended to hike just a short section of the Hanakapiai Trail. The later time slot gave me a chance to take my time getting around Kauai up there, and I got there a little earlier, at about noon, so they accommodated me earlier.  I completed a two-mile trek to the first lookout, which satisfied me for the day, although adventurous hikers can extend their journey to the beach. The shuttle service functions well and provides stress-free North Shore access at $40 per person for roundtrip travel. Pro Tip - Consider going later in the day. The afternoon visit allowed me to explore leisurely without any time pressure. Where to Catch the Shuttle Multiple stops along the route provide shuttle pickup options.- The Princeville Shopping Center is the best starting point for shuttle service if you're staying in Princeville.- The primary pickup location for shuttles is Waipa Park & Ride, which sits just before Hanalei.- Explore the delightful country atmosphere at Wai‘oli Country Market which makes it worthwhile to visit.- Hanalei Colony Resort functions as an excellent shuttle stop that is simple to reach is you're staying in the condos there. The shuttle service concludes its route at Haena Beach Park which is situated close to the Hanakapiai trailhead leading to multiple scenic beaches.

Consider Splitting Your Stay For a complete Kauai experience you should divide your stay between the North Shore and Poipu's South Shore. The North Shore delivers a peaceful nature-oriented getaway while Poipu presents visitors with convenient access to fine dining,

Thinking About Buying New Construction? Here's What You Need to Know At Boston Connect Real Estate, we're all about helping our clients take the next step in life—whether it's buying your first home, upgrading, or settling into your forever home. On a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, our Broker/Owner Sharon McNamara and Director of Operations Melissa Wallace sat down to chat all things new construction—a topic that's been a cornerstone of Sharon's real estate career. Back from Jamaica and Ready to Build! After a much-needed, soul-refreshing trip to Jamaica (complete with spa days, snorkeling, and a heartwarming story of kindness to a young hotel employee), Sharon returned recharged and ready to dive back into the South Shore market. While away, Melissa kept things running smoothly back home, teaming up with our agents on air and in the field. Now, back in the saddle, Sharon was eager to revisit a topic she knows inside and out: buying and selling new construction homes. New Construction: A Hot Topic, A Smart Investment It's been a while since the Roundtable crew focused an entire episode on new builds—but the timing couldn't be better. Sharon and the Boston Connect team are actively working on two developments that are nearly sold out. If you're a buyer, that means now is the time to act. But there's more at play than inventory. Sharon brought up recent news about tariffs on materials from Canada and Mexico and how they could impact the cost of building materials like lumber and gypsum. These added costs may eventually raise the price of new homes—which makes current new construction inventory even more valuable. Why a Buyer's Agent Is Essential—Especially for New Construction One key takeaway from the episode? Not all buyer's agents are created equal when it comes to new construction. Sharon emphasized the importance of working with a buyer's agent who knows the ins and outs of building from the ground up. It's not just about choosing countertops or picking out paint colors—it's about timelines, communication with builders, understanding contract clauses, and advocating for the buyer every step of the way. “Too often,” Sharon said, “agents drop their clients off at the construction site and say ‘call me when it's done.' That's not how we operate.” At Boston Connect, our agents are present and proactive—from lot selection to closing day. Model Homes: A Smart, Move-In Ready Option For buyers who want a brand-new home without the wait, model homes can be a smart choice. Builders often use these homes to showcase premium finishes and upgrades, and since they're already completed, there's less risk of pricing changes due to rising material costs. Buying a model home also means fewer decisions and a quicker path to move-in day—without sacrificing quality. What's Next for the Market? Despite market challenges like rising rates and inventory shortages, Sharon remains optimistic. She sees promise in upcoming shifts that prioritize domestic production of building materials, which could stabilize prices in the long term and create more opportunities for buyers. At the end of the day, whether you're considering new construction or just starting your home search, the Boston Connect team is here to guide you with experience, honesty, and heart. Want to learn more about new construction opportunities on the South Shore? Contact us today at BostonConnect.com or call 781-826-8000 for a one-on-one consultation with Sharon and her team.

God's vision consistently exceeds our human understanding, and He often calls us to prepare for expansion before we witness the results. This principle is exemplified in Isaiah 54, where the Israelites were instructed to enlarge their tents in preparation for future growth. This act of preparation demonstrates faith and creates the necessary space for God's plans to unfold.Faithful preparation involves several key elements: enlarging capacity, stretching beyond comfort zones, strengthening foundations, and taking decisive action before seeing results. This applies to both spiritual and physical aspects of growth, particularly in faith communities. It includes creating more space for worship, expanding ministries, developing new outreach methods, and investing in future generations. The process requires stepping out in faith, much like Noah building the ark before the rain or a farmer planting seeds before the harvest.

Blue Print for Murder /// Part 2 /// 811Part 2 of 2 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com The Gilgo Beach Killer, The Long Island Serial Killer, L.I.S.K., and the list of names, and monikers goes on and on.  These are all names given to an unidentified serial killer that is responsible for four murders, maybe eleven unsolved homicides, and likely the number could be higher.  These names refer to a series of murders that took place from 1996 to 2011 in which the remains of eleven people were found on the South Shore of Long Island, New York.  From the public's perspective, this all started when Shannon Gilbert went missing in the early morning hours of May 1, 2010.  Her disappearance triggered the finding of four sets of remains off of Ocean Parkway at Gilgo Beach. These victims became known as the Gilgo Four. By May of 2011 police had discovered six more sets of remains in the area. But the truth is that this nightmare started long before Shannon disappeared.   In 2023, an architect then 59-year old, Rex Heuermann was arrested and initially charged with three of the murders. Just this month he was charged with a seventh homicide. This week in the Garage, we talk about what the police found in Rex Heuermann's home, specifically a planning document.  This is a kill document, one that many are calling Rex Heuermann's Blue Print for Murder.  Beer of the Week - The Ogre by The Guardian Brewing Company Garage Grade - 3 and 3 quarter bottle caps out of 5  More True Crime Garage can be found on Patreon and Apple subscriptions with our show - Off The Record.  Catch dozens of episodes of Off The Record plus a couple of Bonus episodes and our first 50 True Crime Garage episodes when you sign up today.  True Crime Garage merchandise is available on our website's store page.  Plus get True Crime Garage Pod art that you can post on your socials on our Media page.  Follow the show on X and Insta @TrueCrimeGarage / Follow Nic on X @TCGNIC / Follow The Captain on X @TCGCaptain  Thanks for listening and thanks for telling a friend.  Be good, be kind, and don't litter!
