Finally, winter is loosening its' grip a bit and with that is Spring which is starting to bring more activity in the local real estate market.

Right now, I’m working with a mix of properties — homes, land, commercial buildings, and some commercial space for lease. Every situation is a little different, and that’s part of what makes this work interesting.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or exploring options for a property you own, I’m always happy to talk things through. Enjoy your day.

It’s so nice to see so many new businesses locating in Mercer in the last year. We stopped by the most recent opening yesterday to check out Violet’s Gifts & Curiosities located at 243 W. Butler St.
We enjoyed seeing the vast collection of varied items to choose from and pick up some coffee K-cups. To me, it was like going home again!
