  What a July!! For me personally, summer is a chance to hang out with family and friends, play some golf (and get in a little bit of real estate related work).  January – June is so frenetic in the Real Estate world and I look forward to the summer months to rest and recover and catch up on some missed (and sometimes neglected) relationships.   I trust you, too, are taking t...Read More

I was looking at the grocery store sales on my app today and was curious why no one has turkeys for sale. It is Thanksgiving coming up, isn’t it? Oh, right, it’s May and just looks and feels like October. The Farmer's Almanac says we are in for a hot and dry summer. It's coming. It really is! Yes, it is May and hooray, hooray, it’s the first long weekend of summer. Some ...Read More

  HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY Celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honor of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele, but the clearest modern precedent for Mother's Day is the early Christian festival known as “Mothering Sunday.” HOW TO PREPARE YOUR LAWN & GARDEN FOR SPRING IN ...Read More

I was asked recently about how best to time the market. The conversation began, as many have over the past 24 months, with the individual’s regret about missing the peak. I commented that few, if any, could have predicted that the perfect time to sell your house was November 2016 – early March 2017. Who knew the window of opportunity would be only 4 months? Heck, I sold my own home in...Read More
