Do I WANT that or do I NEED that?

Last month, at the request of an adult daughter,  I met with a woman I will call Sarah. “I’m done” the daughter said.  “My Mom needs to move into assisted living.  She can’t take care of her home anymore. Every time I stop by I pick up Amazon packages off the front porch.  She keeps […]

Homeowner Associations: Demon Or Deliverer?

I recently drove up to a listed property to meet a client who wanted to tour it.  The home was located in a nice suburb with manicured lawns and a price point north of a half million.  The house next door to the listed property had a chain link fence in the front yard. It […]

How are your Social Investments Looking? (2 of 2)

I was 53,  recently divorced and trying to “enter the world” again.  Not the world of dating, just the world.  Fun. Dinner. Kid-less socializing.   A friend had invited  me to a “meet up” at a local restaurant.  This dinner ‘date’ was with 30-40 other single adults who gathered once a month for a social […]

How are your Social Investments Looking? (1 of 2)

In a span of three weeks in July of 2013 I got divorced, closed on the sale of our 16-year family home, sent my two  youngest kids to college and put my head on a pillow in a rented condo.  I woke up the next morning feeling like a grenade had gone off in my […]

There is always tomorrow…

There is always tomorrow.  Until there is not.  I thought of that after my conversation with Christine.  She called me because her husband, Patrick, died unexpectedly last summer. She was getting ready to sell their home and move to the mid-Atlantic coast, something they had always talked about.   The move to North Carolina was […]

Reputation Matters (Part 2)

The Bible is a terrific business manual.  There are principals in it that have instructed business owners for thousands of years and guide me daily.   In the book of I Peter there is a verse that says: “See to it that your conscience is entirely clear, so that every time you are slandered or falsely […]

Reputation Matters

I recently had an, ahem, let’s say a difference of opinion with another Realtor.  This Realtor told me to do what he directed me to do, or he would “ruin me” with attacks on social media.  My reaction? Like the thoroughbred horse with a fly on his tail, it’s a nuisance. The horse knows it’s […]

The Piano

An odd thing happened in my real estate business this summer. Orphaned Pianos.  Everywhere.  Every home.  It seemed that every home I listed had a traditional piano to sell. To donate. To give away. To … please someone take it.  At one point I had five homes listed with homeowners desperately trying to re-home their […]
