Today is November 5th. Today is Guy Fawkes Day in England. A strange holiday that remembers the attempt in the 17th century to blow up parliament.

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...

As a child this was an exciting day that we always looked forward to. There were huge bonfires where a "Guy" was placed on top to represent the traitor, tasty outside cold weather treats such as fire roasted Jacket Potatoes, sticky parkin, mushy peas and pork pies washed down with hot chocolate. All of the fun is followed up by a fireworks display.

Because England is not known for it's mild winter weather, I always recall it either being incredibly cold or wet. It never dampened our spirits.

HAPPY GUY FAWKES DAY TODAY.

I am a Maryland transplant from many other places, most recently Florida, but since 1997 I have found my true home in the heart of this great State. Maryland has it all. Mountains 3 hours to the West, the Atlantic Ocean 3 hours to the East and head North and South for either Philadelphia and New York or Washington DC. It is the perfect location! The Metro Baltimore area offers a rich mix of history and modern amenities. City living, suburbia or "not a neighbor in sight" is available in this area. Excellent Schools, amazing communities and an incredible location is why many people choose to live in Central Maryland. I proudly help my clients buy and sell all types of homes in Howard County and beyond. Enjoying the entire process is my goal for my clients. Every transaction is different and everyone has different needs. I know the Metro Baltimore area well and I am current on the Real Estate Market activity- That's my job. As your "Buyers Agent" I will work diligently to find you the home that suits all your needs. I will update you immediately when a home matches your search criteria. I will educate you on the current market and help you craft the best offer possible. I will "hold your hand" throughout the entire process. As your "Listing Agent" I will coach and guide you from day one to put your best foot forward when you list your home. I will use aggressive and innovative marketing strategies to give your home the best exposure possible. I will use modern technology and multiple resources that other agents do not use.
