Wellesley Mothers Forum Registering New and Returning Members for 2008-09

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 11:16:49 -0400

It is Time to Register for the Wellesley Social Organization for Mothers

New to town? Want to meet other moms? WMF provides excellent entree to the Wellesley, MA community

One aspect of my job as a Realtor that I enjoy the most is helping my customers get acquainted with our town and community. A great way for families of young children to make friends and get connected is through the Wellesley Mothers Forum (WMF). The WMF is a group of 400+ mothers from Wellesley and surrounding towns. Founded in 1991, the WMF is a social organization that provides an opportunity for mothers of children birth to 8-years-old to get together and enjoy interesting and educational speakers, share parenting information and make lasting friendships. Each month, members gather to hear lectures on various parenting topics. Many of our speakers are nationally known experts. These meetings provide members with important information, in addition to a well–deserved night out! The WMF also organizes children’s activities, coordinates playgroups, provides email groups, and hosts social events.

For more information on WMF, go to www.wellesleymothersforum.com or give me a call.

Meanwhile, if you are in need of assistance with purchasing a home in Wellesley, Weston, or Needham, I am your local real estate expert!

5 Common First-Time Home Buyer Mistakes

1. They don’t ask enough questions of their lender and end up missing out on the best deal.

2. They don’t act quickly enough to make a decision and someone else buys the house.

3. They don’t find the right agent who’s willing to help them through the homebuying process.

4. They don’t do enough to make their offer look appealing to a seller.

5. They don’t think about resale before they buy. The average first-time buyer only stays in a home for four years.
