Real Estate Buyers and Sellers deserve Compassion What sparks a post about compassion for real estate buyers and sellers? I’m glad you asked. This post is a little more personal, so bear with me. It’s not a short read, but I feel it’s an important one. I am the proud and loving parent to 2 …
285 Martin Drive closer to feeling like home This week/weekend – another perfect one for projects – saw a couple of things come to fruition at 285 Martin Drive. We are picking up speed on projects that add finishing touches now that most of the unpacking and picture hanging has been completed. 1. We got …
Everyone knows that moving in is the end of one chapter, but it’s also the beginning of several others.
