What can I say? I love trees and I’m not afraid to show it during home showings. If we can’t stop and enjoy our surroundings, are we even living? Seriously, a lil bit of levity can help a lot during these often stressful home showings and engaging in house negotiations, especially with the multiple offer scenarios we regularly find ourselves in these days. Also, hugging trees has been proven to be beneficial for both physical and mental well-being by increasing oxytocin levels, which can help reduce stress and anxiety.

They found their long-term house! The previous owners had stewarded the home for 29 years and have passed it along to the new owners. Congrats on this new and beautiful chapter!
