Wow, has this been an awful lot of fun. Robert and Reagan just continue to grow and become more enchanting with each passing day. I had an opportunity to spend about two hours with them last Sunday, both before and after the open house at their home. The most gratifying part of the whole interaction was to see their faces light up when I came into the room. They are just so happy to see me, and of course I just crack up laughing whenever they smile.  And oh, watch out when they laugh.  The hardest part is trying to equitably divide my time between them.

I can only imagine how Marie and Bob feel when either Nancy or I show up. Well, it is our job to spoil them isn’t it. We just get them all excited and wound up, and then leave up to their parents to settle them back down. Not only am I proud of the wonderful babies, but I am so excited to see how happily Bob and Marie are dealing with parenthood.

Attached are several photos of the babies. As you can see, Reagan is now sitting up all by herself. Robert tends to need a bit of support, but that will likely only be for another few days. I hope you enjoy the photos.

Ten Reasons To Have Your Home Listed During the Holidays

Most people think spring is the best time to list their home?  It is a good time to sell, but there’s another time of the year during which you might want to place that “for sale” sign in your yard…

Homebuyers need to purchase homes all year long, so there might be some advantages to placing homes on the market during the holiday season. Some of these benefits include:

  1. People who look at properties during the holidays are usually serious buyers and are more ready to make a decision.
  2. Serious buyers have fewer houses to choose from during the holidays, so property has less competition.
  3. House “shows better” when decorated for the holidays with the wonderful light and festive colors associated with the season.
  4. Buyers are more emotional during the holidays and often base their decision on the warmth and good feeling they receive when viewing your house.
  5. Buyers have more time to look for a house during the holidays because they have designated time off from work to purchase a home.
  6. Many people want to buy before the end of the year for financial and tax reasons.
  7. January is traditionally a heavy time for transfers. Transferees can’t wait until the spring to buy. Your house must be on the market to capture these buyers.
  8. You may restrict showings during your own personal family events and still take advantage of your spruced up and decorated “show ready” property.
  9. You can sell now, but specify a delayed closing or extended occupancy until early next year if you so desire and if agreeable to the other party.
  10. By selling now you have an opportunity to buy during the spring, when more properties are on the market.

Please Contact me if you or someone you know is considering listing their home for sale.
