Hey Bel Air Peeps, it's your girl Lanette, and guess what's causing a buzz in Charm City? Our beloved Ravens, led by none other than the one and only Lamar Jackson, are battling Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Playoffs this Sunday!

Now, let's dive into the quarterback face-off. Lamar Jackson, aka in the Branch household as LaMarvelous, is leading the Ravens charge. Oh, how I love seeing him work his magic on the field. He runs. He passes. He passes, then he runs—to catch his … (5 comments)

sell in bel air: Winter Property Showings: Thy Middle Name is “Drama” - 01/23/24 02:59 PM
Hey, Bel Air Crew! Lanette here, surviving the winter real estate hustle and bustle. This weekend's showing, though, was an adventure on a whole new level, and I've got to spill the snow – I mean, tea.

sell in bel air: FSBO vs. FAFO: The Risks of Going Solo in Real Estate - 01/17/24 01:09 AM
Hey, Bel Air neighbors! It's your real estate aficionado, Lanette, here to spill the tea on a real estate trend that's more of a trick than a treat*: FSBO, or For Sale By Owner. Now, I like to call it "Foolish Seller's Bold Odyssey," but I digress.
Going FSBO might seem like a money-saving move, but let me tell you, it's the epitome of being penny-wise and dollar-dumb. I say that because navigating real estate without a pro is like playing chess blindfolded against a Grandmaster—a not-so strategic move that just might leave you in checkmate. Just as a Sensei guides his … (4 comments)

Just imagine, if you will, Netflix suggesting your next binge-worthy show—a boss move that makes you question if Netflix has been reading your mind. That, my friends, … (7 comments)
