Wild week in real estate but I wouldn't change a single thing!

• Last-minute negotiations before closing
• 2 properties closing. One first-time homebuyer & one new investor
• 2 final walkthroughs
• Coordinating last-minute repairs found during walkthroughs
• Meeting with a new seller for a market analysis
• Meeting with a new buyer, trying to find their dream home

And that’s just one week.

Real estate is a lot more than just opening doors. It’s building relationships, solving problems and making sure you have someone in your corner from the first showing to the closing table.

Thinking about buying or selling? Let’s talk.

What a great event put on by Ithaca Childrens Garden this past Saturday. Tough Turtle JR was a hit!

Then off to Airport Days. Shout-out to Tompkins County Sheriff's Office for bringing out the robot and letting the kids check it out.

So… what’s actually happening in our local real estate market?

There’s a lot of noise out there, but the numbers tell a much better story. Here is a great breakdown of what’s happening across the Finger Lakes & Southern Tier. If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just curious about the market, it’s worth a quick read.

"Where were you when the world stopped turning?"

I was in 6th grade math class. I knew something terrible had happened, but I was too young to understand the magnitude, or how it would change America forever.

What I remember most is 9/12.
Neighbors checking on neighbors. People coming together. Communities feeling a little tighter.

25 years later, I’d love to hear what you remember or where were you?
