Wishful Thinking - 08/31/11 02:49 PM
After a crazy week full of earthquakes and hurricanes, power outages and clean up I am wishing for a quiet evening by the water watching the sun go down. Nothing more than good friends, a drink in hand, calm winds and no weather drama. Oh... and no real estate drama either.
Ha! I can wish can't I?

Market News On The Annapolis Homefront - 08/24/11 04:43 PM
As an Annapolis Area Real Estate Agent I often hear people talking about the woes they hear on the national news broadcast stations. National debt crisis, housing sales have slumped, unempolyment is high. You can hear the stress in their voices, the fear of doing anything but hanging tight and hoping they wake up one day and it is all different. Well it is different here in the Baltimore region of which Annapolis is part of. That is why I am glad they talk to me. Though I am not one to sugar coat just to make someone feel better and want … (0 comments)

Rockin and Rollin of This Kind is NOT My Idea of Fun - 08/23/11 08:36 PM
I was out showing property today when I felt MY earth shake. My car was stopped in a cul de sac waiting on my client and talking on the phone when the caller said...'It's an earthquake; gotta run. I hung up the phone and felt my car move back and forth like someone was on the outside rockin it with all their might. Then I saw people running out of their homes shaking and scared just like me. It lasted for what seemed like an eternity but it was probably really about 15 seconds. Still shaking when my client showed up I excitedly … (9 comments)

As I was heading out the door another shopper with a small child was comptemplating getting to her car as the child was fussy. So I offered to follow her holding … (6 comments)

We have been experiencing some rather heavy storms around my neck of the woods lately. Heavy rain, loud thunder and cloud to ground lightning.

After one storm I headed to the grocery store for my weekly shopping and along the way noticed a traffic light was out. Cars were backed up trying to get onto the main throughfare I was on and evidently no … (5 comments)
