Christina Lackey: Real Estate Agent in Syracuse, New York

I was raised by an arborist.  For those of you who may not know what that is, it is a professional who has taken courses and been trained in all aspects of caring for trees.  It's really a very interesting career, and I have learned a lot watching my dad. Now, he and my husband work together doin...

Yikes!  I've been "tagged" again, so I actually have to think of five MORE interesting things?  Well, I hope I can come up with something.  This time I've been MeMe'd by Mana Tulberg.  I am a little intimidated even writing this because Mana's MeMe was wonderful!  If you missed my first MeMe (and...

I live in a nice little neighborhood in North Syracuse, NY.  Most people know of it, running along Chestnut Street between Allen Road and Route 11.  It's a very friendly and affordable place to live.  We've been here for about six years and even though we are quickly outgrowing our home, we are h...

I think it's important to take a moment today and truly pause from the hustle- bustle of daily life and really think about why today is a holiday.  Contrary to popular opinion, it's not just because we haven't had a day off in a while or an excuse to hold a parade.  Today is one of the more impor...

Ahh, summer is here!  The air is sweet and fresh, the sun is shining, and we are headed out of Dodge for the day.  We chose to reach today's destination by boat, taking a little under an hour via Oneida Lake.  It is also quite easy to reach by car, and still about an hour away.  There is ample pa...

Yes, we all know what we are supposed to be doing to make it in this business.  We should be calling people, sending out mailings, and handing out cards.  Knocking on doors and passing out flyers.  Having open houses and talking to our neighbors.Now, before I get a bunch of comments based on the ...

This is something I have been laughing about for a while, so I wanted to share it.  I hope it will tickle some of you like it did me.  I needed a break from the heavy stuff, so here it is.This last December, I made the top 20 list for producers in my company.  It was a big deal for us, and we wen...

Today was beautiful in Central New York, sunny skies and a little over 80 degrees- and it's almost Memorial Day, so it was time for our first trip to the beach!  I took my girls, packed the car, and headed off to Williams Park in Cicero.  It is located along the shores of Oneida Lake.  For more g...

I knew this would be a lot of work and I cringed when I hit the "send" button on my first e-mail to Neal Bloom about doing it.  I had no idea how much work this would be.  My poor husband thinks I'm gone forever, and I'm looking over my shoulder for divorce papers right now.  No, really, he is su...

Oh, I am so happy to be able to write about one of my very favorite places in central New York, Oneida Lake.  Oneida Lake is the largest lake that is entirely inside the state of New York, and I am lucky enough to live only 15 minutes away!  How cool is that?     We dock our boat on Oneida Lake, ...
