[MassHistPres] Buying a Home with Historical Significance

[Garrett Laws]

It's actually very easy, especially if you have a proactive real estate
agent on your commission. They can search MLS to keep on the reactive side
or they can look at your assessors database and sort properties by year
built.

This will obviously create a lot of work looking at properties that may not
be "turning over" any time soon, but it's a great way to get you town
inventory in order.
