Welcome to the Newburyport Entrepreneur – CPA on the Street. In this series I travel around town and visit with other entrepreneurs and small business owners to find out if they love Newburyport as much as I do! The goal of the series is to provide educational and fun information directly from the business owners themselves.Today I travel down Inn Street and through Market Square to the beautiful new offices of Remax on the River to chat with expert realtor Ron April. Ron has built his business the old fashioned way, with hard work and honesty toward his clients. His business ties him closely to his valued clients, with his goal to bring a level of service not seen throughout the industry.
Ron’s basic approach to buyers, especially first timers, is to go over all the obvious monetary advantages about home ownership, building equity (yes, that still happens), tax ramifications, or not being uprooted by your landlord, for example. Then he delves into the reality of long term home ownership by including potential maintenance, renovations, and utility issues, among other potential traps of home ownership. “Oftentimes, the idea of what the buyer thought they wanted swings a hundred and eighty degrees the other way,” says Ron.
With more than 23 years of experience as a credentialed tax professional, Stu Steinberg, CPA, MBA brings a broad depth of knowledge to his work. He has worked with small business entrepreneurs for many years helping them plan their businesses more effectively. He can be reached at stu@eaglerockfinancial.net or (978) 864-9581 anytime.
