Brian McGrath of HUB Wealth Strategies Recognized as a President’s Council Club Qualifier

A very special home is coming to the market soon in Andover, and this one is especially close to my heart.
Over the years, I&rsquo;ve had the privilege of creating many connections through real estate, but this home carries memories beyond just being a listing. Years ago, I spent many afternoons here nannying for this wonderful family &mdash; playing basketball in the driveway, watching the kids enjoy the backyard, and seeing firsthand how much love and life filled this home.
Today, those kids are grown and living on their own, and now this beautiful property is ready for a new family to begin their next chapter and create memories of their own.
Coming to the market in June, this well-maintained Colonial sits on a beautiful corner lot in Andover and offers: &bull; 4 bedrooms &bull; 2.5 bathrooms &bull; 2-car garage &bull; Flexible bonus room &bull; Half-finished basement &bull; Screened-in porch &bull; Fireplace &bull; Organic lawn care with no pesticides &bull; Invisible fence for pets &bull; Whole-house generator &bull; Durable fiber cement siding
The backyard truly shines &mdash; spacious, private, and perfect for gatherings, kids, pets, or simply enjoying peaceful evenings outdoors.
Homes like this are special because buyers are not just purchasing a property &mdash; they are stepping into a place where years of love, celebrations, and family moments already happened, and where new ones are waiting to be made.
The listing is expected to go live on June 8th, with open house information to be announced soon.
If you&rsquo;ve been looking for a home in Andover, keep an eye out for this one.

Coming Soon!

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric Stays Independent

128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric

128 Announces Local Independent Ownership For Good One question that Ryan Williams, President of 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric, keeps getting is: “Did you sell?” and the answer is always In recent years, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home services have seen significant consolidation. In Greater Boston, 128 is one of the only home service companies that remain local, private, and independently-owned. This led Williams to seek out organizations that aren't just in business to sell, but to thrive long-term. He found the Tugboat Institute®, focusing on value, purpose, and people-driven businesses planning to remain independently-owned for 100+ years through their Certified Evergreen® status. 128 applied with the help of its entire team and received the honor of becoming Certified Evergreen® a year later. Watch 128's announcement here: https://youtu.be/g5rsiZW7B1k?si=KeR42U8H9GXnCJkH Does this impact customers? Customers want reliability and support for years down the road from their home service company, and choosing an independently-owned company can reduce uncertainties. Does this impact tradespeople? Ownership can influence company culture, communication, alignment, and priorities. With a labor shortage, it's important there are industry leaders willing to continually invest in education, which 128 is proud to offer its own school. Choose Local and Independent. 128 is proud to announce its continued local and independent ownership to bring stability and confidence to employees, customers, and communities for generations. Williams states that "128 answers to its customers and employees, not investors", and is not for sale. 128 Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electric was founded in 1992 and is a top home service company in Eastern MA. 128 is known for its 5-star service, base+ membership, Finish Strong Friday®, and its Red Sox partnership.

Choose an Austin Prep Education Rooted in Augustinian Values

Austin Preparatory School

Austin Preparatory School, located in Reading, Massachusetts, is an independent Catholic prep school rooted in the Augustinian tradition. Serving students in grades 6 through 12, Austin Prep has cultivated a close-knit learning community since its founding in 1961. Guided by its mission to inspire hearts to unite, minds to inquire, and hands to serve, the school challenges students through a rigorous college preparatory program that includes honors and Advanced Placement courses, personalized instruction, and intentionally small classes. An Austin Prep education is preparation for the journey of life. Beyond academics, the school’s unwritten curriculum – the lived expression of veritas, unitas, and caritas (truth, unity, and love) – forms the heart of its mission. “At Austin Prep, we are on a journey that is life-changing and important,” says Head of School James Hickey, Ph.D. “Our patron, St. Augustine, embarked on a journey for the truth. At our core is an institution on the same journey, committed to exemplary teaching and learning.” Serving grades 6–12 under one roof allows this leading prep school to guide students through every stage of development—academic, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual. Community stands at the center of this experience, nurturing belonging and inspiring students to lead lives of purpose. Austin Prep athletics teams, competing in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC), are recognized among the best north of Boston, reflecting the same drive and integrity found in the classroom. Nearly every graduate continues on to a four-year college, prepared not only for success in higher education but for a meaningful life shaped by faith, friendship, and service.
