We are doing a lot of refinances for people to not only lower their interest rates, but to lower and remove PMI

We are doing a lot of refinances for people to not only lower their interest rates, but to lower and remove PMI
Homebuyers who bought with less than 20% down in the past few years, can probably lower or remove their PMI because of increased home valuations.
We are getting a lot of appraisal waivers, which means no appraisal required and that’s a savings of at least $500. It also provides certainty that we can remove or lower the PMI, as the home value has been accepted with an appraisal waiver.
Contact me today for a no cost, no hassle mortgage review. With the holiday season upon us, who doesn’t want to save money at Christmas time?!?!????
Happy Holidays!

Supervising
Mako was up for the challenge of supervising Finn as he cut down our Christmas tree this year. Our first year getting a tree without Thatcher as he’s living his best life down in Florida. Sad for us….but exciting for him as he spreads his wings.

Happy Tails
My grand puppy, Freddy, came to visit me on Monday and I gave him his new sweater for Christmas. The sweater came from Happy Tales on Main Street in Gloucester. Freddy looks very handsome in his new grey sweater. Happy Tails is a great store on Main Street with a fun atmosphere.

Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation
Silent Movie Classic ‘Peter Pan’ narrated by Lindsay Crouse, organ accompaniment by Peter Krasinski, Sunday, December 21st at 3:30pm
The Gloucester Meetinghouse Foundation is proud to present the original silent movie ‘Peter Pan,’ a 1925 American fantasy-adventure film as part of its Tenth Anniversary Series. It will be narrated by acclaimed actress Lindsay Crouse and accompanied on the pipe organ by maestro Peter Krasinski. This is great entertainment for the whole family during the holidays!
Tickets are available at the door and online (strongly recommended) with more information at: http://www.gloucestermeetinghouse.org. General admission is $30, students $10, under age 12 free.
The historic 1806 Meetinghouse, home of the Gloucester Unitarian Universalist Church, is located on the green at the corner of Middle and Church Streets (GPS 50 Middle Street). Parking is available on the green and around the historic district. The side entrance at 10 Church Street has an elevator to the main level, if needed.
For decades the silent movie ‘Peter Pan’ was thought to be lost but in the 1950’s a well preserved copy was discovered in a vault in Rochester, New York. The film is based on a play written by Sir James Barrie and was directed by Herbert Brenon in 1924 and was filmed on Santa Cruz island. The plot explores fantasy, adventure and is a playful film armed with technical ingenuity and classic source material.
The presentation will be narrated by Lindsay Crouse, American actress who made her debut in the 1972 revival of Much Ado About Nothing. She has played many roles in numerous films and received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination. Lindsay is a resident of Annisquam and a well-known celebrity on Cape Ann.
The film will also be accompanied by Peter Krasinski, a master of improvised silent movie accompaniment, whose exciting performances delight kids and adults alike. Krasinski will display the diverse power of the 1893 Hutchings/Fisk organ, creating music that adds mystery, intrigue and excitement to this memorable and nostalgic film.
‘Peter Pan’ is presented in collaboration with the Cape Ann Community Cinema.
You are cordially invited to join us at our Gloucester workshop to celebrate the creation of a new pipe organ At CB Fisk. See and hear Opus 166, tour the shop, and learn about the art and craft of organ building. We look forward to seeing you then.
