What a winter we had, one we’ll be talking about for the rest of our lives!
At the beginning of all the snowstorms, I was feeling like everyone else, oppressed and possibly even a little depressed. But somewhere along the way, something changed. I got used to this new world and way of life, and I kind of liked it.
The land and landscape were very beautiful, and with fresh snow every other day, it was white and pretty a good part of the time. There was so much to see and marvel at: snow falling softly and steadily, how MUCH there was, familiar bushes and fences that disappeared, and then – the ocean froze. Once before, in the early 2000’s, I was living on Wings Neck during a particularly cold winter, and I watched Buzzards Bay freeze. I never knew that when wavelets changed from moving to not moving, they froze as wavelets.
But this winter, everything froze, Vineyard Sound and Buzzards Bay, and for weeks. Then there were actual ice floes floating around in the distance where the ocean had defrosted. The Coast Guard broke the ice day after day, to keep the ferries between Woods Hole and the Vineyard going. But the rest of it? Kids went out onto the frozen ocean, played games, ice skated for goodness’ sake – on the ocean!! Looked back at land while standing on the ocean…
For sure, just as my generation still talks about what they did during the Blizzard of ’78 (which, in my case, included walking on a shutdown Route 128 and dragging a sled to the grocery store every day to get a rationed gallon of milk), kids will talk about the experience of the Winter of 2015 for the rest of their lives.
But now, Winter 2015 has melted away. Like many things in life, there were trade-offs: too much snow, but incredible beauty. I’m sure that you, like me, are looking forward to the seasons ahead with just a bit more appreciation than usual. Go, daffodils![/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
The Importance of the Team
[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”]
A successful real estate transaction involves so much more than finding the right home for a buyer or the acceptance of an offer by a seller.
As soon as the signatures are dry on an offer, the inspector, attorney, and lender are the critical team members upon whom the transaction depends.
If you have the wrong team, you don’t realize it until it’s too late. There’s no U-turn once you’re on this road.
I recommend various teams, all so completely reliable that I know my clients will get the best information, most favorable loan, problems will be solved, and we will proceed to a good closing.
A recent client recognized the value of the team in her comments:
“Nadine was instrumental in finding us a beautiful summer home in East Falmouth. This is the third real estate transaction we’ve had with Nadine. She is always professional and available. She utilizes high-tech and low-tech methods to communicate, which is very helpful. She is in touch with a great group of resources, which made the buying process smooth. I would recommend Nadine to anyone buying or selling a home.”
~ Kristy S.
And three team members expressed their appreciation, as well:
“If you want to list your home, you can use anyone. But if you want to sell it, use Nadine.”
~ Sarah Valentini, President, Radius Financial Group, LLC
“It is ALWAYS a pleasure working with you! Your knowledge, expertise, and easy-going way with clients make for an enjoyable and smooth transaction. You make my job a lot easier! Now, on to the next one!”
~ Stacey Curley, Esq., Cape Cod Title & Escrow, P.C.
“Thanks again for all of your help – it is an absolute pleasure working with you!”
~ Lindsay Carrick, Paralegal, Cape Cod Title & Escrow, P.C.
Not every agent understands the value of these referrals to the professionals who manage a transaction in process; the result can be costly in terms of unnecessary time, money, and stress. My referrals are vetted carefully. Together, we support our clients in the best possible way.[/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container]
Falmouth Colors: The Daily Brew
Since I moved to Brookside 18 months ago, I spend a lot of time in Falmouth coffee shops when I’m in between appointments.
When I’m in Ballymeade or North Falmouth, the “Brew” is my place for coffee or lunch. Love everything they make, the warm and inviting atmosphere, the newspaper to read, the outside deck in good weather, and the cozy upstairs when it’s chilly outside.

Falmouth Colors: Shad Roe
Have you ever eaten shad roe? Do you know what it is? It’s the egg sac of the shad who are swimming upstream to spawn in our local rivers right now – but they won’t be here long.
Prep is easy – just sauté in butter, add a little salt and pepper, and dig in. Doesn’t get any more local or fresh than this!
The Cataumet Fish Market is selling this spring treat for $12.99 a lb.
