If you know me, you know supporting local businesses is near and dear to me. As the kid of a small business owner and now one myself, small businesses really are an important part of any community. Small Business Saturday is this Saturday! Here are a few of my favorite local businesses you can support.
I unknowingly showed my clients a house where 3 murders had taken place.
If you think back to this time last year, we’re in a much better place. Fall festivals and Halloween probably won’t be exactly what they were pre-pandemic but they’re getting closer. Here are some fall festivals where you can get outside and enjoy
Solar panels are becoming more and more common in our area. If you decide to buy or sell a home with solar panels, that means you’ll need to do a little more legwork. Your Realtor and lender will work with you to ensure a smooth transaction.
If you live in DC like i do, you probably just got your Annual Escrow Account Disclosure from your lender. So what does that even mean?
It’s hard to slow down. We don’t live in a society or culture that encourages it. In April, we welcomed a new addition to our family that forced us to slow down and focus on only the most important things. But now it’s time to start back up.
Fair Housing is a longstanding issue in the US. April is designated as Fair Housing Month, meant to highlight the ways discrimination (conscious or unconscious) happens and ways to combat it. April was a busy month for me personally (more on that later) but I wanted to highlight one small thing each of us can do before the month ends.
I keep getting asked if we’re in a housing bubble. It’s possible, but based on the data that experts are sharing it doesn’t seem like it.
Spring is nearly here, which means it’s time for some spring cleaning. If you’re thinking of tackling an organizing project you’ll get some great tips from Annie Hirchhorn of Clean Lines.
Depending on what side of transaction you’re on and what type of property you’re selling this market is either a dream or a nightmare. There’s really no in between.
We’re trying something new here! I talked to Elizabeth Horne of Elizabeth Horne Designs. She’s a local interior designer who shared her thoughts on 2021 design trends, what to be aware of if you’re taking on a new project, and when to call in a professional.
As we all rapidly approach a year at home due to the pandemic, you might also be feeling a rut when it comes to making anything feel special. Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. Since I needed help with ideas I reached out to Canden at DC by Foot for some creative ideas.
I recently attended a webinar put on by the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors called History and Power of Real Estate. I learned a lot, so I decided to share some of that knowledge with you. This will be the first part in a series.
2020 was a year where we all learned everything could change in an instant and to expect the unexpected. In 2021 we’re all looking for any sense of normalcy we can find. So will the real estate market experience any changes in 2021?
The holidays often mean a ton of stuff comes into you home - gifts, decorations, holiday cards…
One of my favorite ways to start the new year is with Apartment Therapy’s January Cure. It’s a great way to set the tone for the new year with a sense of accomplishment through taking small actions everyday (with a few days to catch up) for a cleaner, more organized home.
2020 has been tough! Here are a few thoughts on supporting local community as we round out the year:
Winter is coming, so it’s a good idea to set aside some time to make sure you’re home is ready for the colder months. Here’s a list of things you’ll need to do around your house depending on where you live and the type of home you have.
If you want a special meal, but don’t want to cook, here are local restaurants you can order from
