The Market – Buyers

I am currently working with a wonderful couple who are first time buyers. They entered the Real Estate market thinking that they would quickly find their first home. What a surprise they had when they were out-bid on 6 different houses! . You might think this is because they "low balled" each offer they put in, and in fact they did on the first one, but they quickly realized that the homes for sale in...

For example, my husband and I owned 4 acres of land in a 2-acre zoned part of our town. We were able to convert our property into a "Designated Use Condo" which now contains our original home and a second, brand new home occupied by our son and his family. We...

Cozy Room Tip #1

Cold Nights Call for Cozy Rooms! It is easy to divide a space with furniture groupings, such as using a small table for two or four to create a separate area from the sofa and loveseat. With a wood floor, add a small area rug under the table for definition. A chair and ottoman in a corner, next to a bookcase, can be a great spot to curl up with a favorite book! In a larger room, you can use a warm...
