Is Residential Real Estate Really an Essential Service?
March 31 2020
As of March 28, 2020, residential and commercial real estate moved to the list of essential services from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. What is your knee jerk response to this action? I was excited at first, of course. I have been in residential real estate for over 14 years, and I love getting up every day to go to the office, show homes, and negotiate contracts. But more than that, I just love the people that I am lucky enough to call my clients and co-workers. It fuels me and my initial thought was frankly that that was what was going to help me get through this.
Why I Respectfully Disagree with Steve Brown’s Housing Market Prediction
March 19 2020
The last week has left us all with a sense of home and exactly how important it is as a place to seek refuge. And despite the (large) possibility that we will grow tired of the increased company in the house due to working remotely and no school for the kiddos, perhaps the greatest blessing of all is that we have a home to go to. I am guessing there will be a lot of babies born in October and a lot of celebrating at our favorite restaurants as soon as this is over. Heck, we will maybe even stroll in to the office with a little added pep in our step.

Downsizing
March 16 2020
Most people come to a point in their lives when they gradually make plans to downsize or at least simplify. It typically comes when kids are all out of the home and you decide you don’t need so much space (and stuff). For me? The tornado of October 2019 that had me staring at 350 boxes packed quickly and without emotion by insurance workers. And while memories of the kids and grandkids playing in the pool and the many greenhouse dinners hosted filtered and manifested mega nostalgia in that moment, I knew it was time to get rid of some of (or a lot of) our stuff. Because if this terrible tornado taught me anything it was that, at the end of the day, it was just stuff, right?
