Some homes are all about square footage, or pretty finishes. But old homes are always about the stories they carry, and the kind of history you can feel the moment you step inside. This 1927 Dutch Colonial in Ashton, Maryland, was one of those homes. It had been the youth pastor's house, a place

I read an interesting thread the other day from someone thinking about doing Real Estate "on the side". While I don't want to discourage anyone from exploring a career in Real Estate - it IS a very rewarding one: the joy when buyers come out on top in a multiple offer situation, the smiles at the

One of the things I love about Ellicott City is how quickly the town feels familiar. Its history is carried by every building, every storefront that's been loved back to life after the devastating floods a few years ago. Its charm shows up and down Main Street, and settles in places like Georgia

I braved traffic and the cold this morning to witness the Buddhist monks walking for peace in Annapolis, MD. It was the quiet hope so many of us needed. It was truly inspiring to see in person and to be a small part of something so tremendously meaningful. The Venerable Monks Walk for Peace"We wa
