South Worcester County Real Estate

FREE Search for Homes - Residential Real Estate Services



In a hurry to find homes and service? Go directly to Gary at EXIT® Realty Partners or GaryBellinger.com.

1) FREE MLS Home Search Links.

Input your search criteria and find any Massachusetts property listed on the MLS that matches your search definitions. Descriptions and pictures only - no addresses. The MLS number is provided so that you can request complete details from a licensed real estate agent. If your time horizon for making a home purchase is more than 6 months away, this is a great vehicle for 'just looking' and staying in touch with the real estate market.
If you would like to add property addresses, open house notices and daily email updates based on your home search preferences, use the link below.
Realtor.com® is the Official Site of the National Association of Realtors®. If you're planning to make a move in more than 6 months and you need a free service that offers a broader range of information and resources than the direct MLS search links given above, you’ll find Realtor.com to be very helpful. It provides national MLS listings (no addresses), lender selections, community information, buyer & seller advice, real estate news and more.

2) The POWERSEARCH: FREE Home Search and much more!

This service is geared towards more serious-minded buyers who plan to make a move in less than 6 months. It takes the MLS home search a few steps further. You'll get full access to all home and location details - pictures, addresses, descriptions, current MLS listings and recently sold homes, community & school information, maps & more. Save and keep track of your favorite homes. Get email alerts of all new listings that match your search preferences.

There's no need to surf the internet to find all the information you need. It's all right here and online help from experienced real estate and mortgage professionals is available upon request.

Note: Here's something to consider. Your deadline to move into a new home is critical. It can take up to several months to find the right home in the right location and at the right price. Add to that the cycle from first offer to final closing and delivery of your new home - up to 2 months and sometimes more depending on the special needs of either the buyer or the seller. This is why you need to be thinking as much as 6 months in advance!!

3) Are you looking for homes at below market prices?

Find foreclosures, auctions and other distressed properties. This is a fee-based service with a 7-day FREE TRIAL. You can get a lot of information in a week! Property alerts, self-help articles, newsletter and many more resources. Great for investors or home buyers seeking an affordable dream home. Covers Massachusetts and all 50 states.

Also see all active listings in Worcester County for Foreclosures and Short Sales at the following link:

4) Statistics and demographic data for Massachusetts communities.

This free service has all the decision-making background you need to select the location that best fits your needs. Includes registered sex offender information and you can expand your search to all 50 states.

5) Alternative links to home searching and real estate research.

So maybe you do like to surf the internet? If you have a mind like a government intelligence agent and you like to cross-reference and corroborate all of your real estate research, here are some additional links to visit in your cyberspace travels.

REAL ESTATE can be a difficult business even if you’re an experienced Buyer or Seller.  As a trained real estate professional, I still find that every day presents occasions from which to learn and grow.  My education never ceases whether it’s in the classroom or in the field.

Since the pitfalls of property transactions and resulting complications are numerous, I’ve made it my primary goal to be an informative resource for everyone with real estate questions. 

On this blog and elsewhere at my personal website - www.garybellinger.com -  there are many topics addressed and many answers provided.  The services of other professionals are presented as well.  If you do have questions, make sure you get some professional advice before autographing any paperwork. 

Listed below is a short selection of literature that you should find helpful to the achievement of your real estate goals.  Feel free to download any of these files you find relevant to your current situation.   As I noted above, there's also a lot of good reading and reference material at my personal site, so you might want to take a little time to visit.

Of course, you can always contact me directly for special assistance with any real estate matter.  I welcome the opportunity to be of personal service to you.

Best wishes for your real estate success!


Gary

Comments for Sellers


Selling your home shouldn't be a stressful ordeal. Making the smart move of choosing a REALTOR® is your first step to ensuring that your investment in your home pays off. My services and experience allow you to focus on your move while I manage your home sale from our initial consultation to the closing deal, and beyond. I pride myself on repeat business and hope you'll come to understand why.

What I will do for you

Getting the highest price
Closing Costs

As Your Agent, I Will:

  • Complete a comparative market analysis that will compare your home's value to that of your neighbors.
  • Compile a comprehensive plan detailing all the efforts I will employ to sell your home, including Internet and local media.
  • Present your home to as many qualified buyers as possible getting your home maximum exposure.
  • Help you stage your home and generate curb appeal to ensure you get the highest price.
  • Assist with obtaining offers and help you in negotiating the best deal as smoothly as possible.
  • Help you find your next home and answer all of your questions about the local market area, including schools, neighborhoods, the local economy, and more.

Recent Home Sales:

What are homes selling for on your street? Use Zillow.com to find out what neighborhood homes are selling for, free of charge, or choose a more detailed analysis of the value of your home.

Getting the Highest Price for Your Home:

Curb appeal is key and could make a difference whether people stop and take a flyer, or drive right by. Here are a few tips to increase the curb appeal of your home. Staging your home is important. Many buyers will stay in your home longer if it's staged appropriately. I have compiled some ideas to present your home in the most effective manner.

Closing Costs to Expect:

  • Title insurance fees depend on the sales price of the home.
  • Broker's commission is a full-service fee and will cost anywhere between 5% to 8%.
  • Local property transfer tax, country transfer tax, state transfer tax, and state capital gains tax are the charges that you'll pay for the privilege of selling your home. Credit to the buyer of unpaid real estate taxes for the prior or current year are variable and depend on when you close and when your taxes are due.
  • FHA fees and costs are now negotiable between an FHA buyer and seller.
  • Home inspection fees are in some circumstances paid for by the seller and include pest, radon and other inspections.
  • Miscellaneous fees can accrue from correcting problems noticed during the home inspection.
