Haydenville, Ma. 01039
To Wayne Feiden, Director of Planning and Sustainability,
I want to commend the city for their Small Lots, Big Ideas program. I would like to be selected as the
buyer in what I see as a win -win situation. My offer will benefit Northampton in the following ways;
1. I am making a cash offer. I have attached a letter from Northampton Cooperative Bank
showing that I have sufficient funds in my account available immediately. I would be ready to
close as soon as the city is.
2. I have experience building a new house (Photos at 5thejog.com).
3. I plan to live in the house and to use quality building materials and construction techniques and
to employ the latest technology in energy efficiency.
4. I am a dedicated community member.
In 2000, our family built a beautiful home on a 2.3 acre lot in West Hatfield with energy efficiency in
mind, it is Energy Star certified with a geothermal heat pump. Despite the efficiency of the house and
being only 12 minutes from Northampton center, having to hop in the car to do virtually anything was
an unintended side - effect. Having been part of the urban sprawl dilemma, I now believe in clustered
housing. I relish the challenge of building a small and efficient house that will meet my needs on this
narrow lot.
Personally, I am strongly connected to the Northampton/Florence communities. My older son, Stephen,
graduated from NHS in 2013 and now attends Tufts University, My younger son, Jason, is now in 7th
grade at JFK and will stay in Northampton schools through high school. I've been actively involved in
the Northampton sports programs, coaching Rec and Suburban basketball and Little League baseball
for 10 years. I was a member of the Northampton Little League Executive Board from 2010 to 2013,
My goal is to downsize my financial, space and energy footprints by at least 50 %. Since most of my
activities are in the Florence area, Garfield Avenue is an ideal location for me. An avid cyclist, being
near the bike path is an added benefit.
I am pleased to have had positive interactions with all the city officials I have spoken to. I think this
bodes well for a successful partnership that can create a showcase house that will be a great home and
highlight the success of your program.
Thank you for considering my offer.
Sincerely,
L-t

Dear Wayne:
We are honored to have been asked to bring in a proposal to market the Garfield St. property.
We are a fresh, new local company company that has brought together some of the area's
most experienced agents. We propose that both Julie Held and Lisa Darragh market this unique
property together. Julie Held brings 18 years of experience and is one of the owners of Maple and
Main Realty. Lisa Darragh brings 12 years of experience and has previously worked for the City
of Northampton twice, successfully selling two of their properties.
As with most other real estate companies, we will be utilizing these standard marketing strategies:
• We will place one of our appealing, well -loved real estate signs at the property and other
applicable spots.
We will prepare a thorough MLS listing with all necessary images, documents, forms
attached.
• We will advertise on the most effective third -party real estate websites including Zillow,
Trulia, Realtor.com and many others.
• We will advertise in print media by placing ads in the Real Estate Book and the local
newspapers.
We will, however, take these following additional steps to bring our progressive approach to
enhance the marketing.
We will create a full -scope website for this property at www, ] GarfieldSt.com, This website
will effectively market the lot, by presenting the concept and the architect designs through
use of high - definition images, virtual tours, films, aerial images, maps and downloadable
flyers, documents and forms. The website will also automatically upload the generated
marketing material to additional sites such as CraigsIist and Youtube.
We will place a custom printed rider on the real estate sign directing potential buyers to the
property website. This rider will feature the website address, an SKIS text code and a
scannable QR code for instant interactivity at the site
We will attach state-of-the-art solar lights to the real estate sign so that the property will be
marketed 24 hours, not just during daylight.
Our signs, individual property websites, QR codes and texting link illustrate our progressive,
new marketing direction to capture a very large group of buyers who search online and
seek information through technology. We are the only realtors in the area who are using
this successful approach.
As far as the commission rate, we would be willing to market it at a reduced rate of 4%.
Best Wishes,
'Julie Held & Lisa Darragh

I am proud to support Western Mass AIA for their collaboration with the city on the
small lots ( BIG IDEAS Design Competition. I had the pleasure of attending the
exhibition reception and judging of the competition and loved every minute of the
event.
Besides the entries themselves, the graphics, interpretive design boards, and video all
supplied by Western Mass AIA were thought provoking and compelling. The
excitement in the community as a result of this event and WM -AIA's outreach was
palpable.
As a Mayor, I especially appreciated the collaboration between AIA and our staff, both
because it brought in new ideas and new audiences and because I believe it will lead
to future collaborative events. I very much hope that we can build the alliance we
started with this event.
I hope that AIA is able to grant Western Mass AIA an award for outreach
communication. I can't imagine a better effort or outcome.
Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely,
