Cloverly Park: tested & recommended by Thompson Co. Realtors in Training

Real Estate Agent with Thompson Company, REALTORS® 240.593.2860 MD594797


Who says a day at the office has to be all work and no fun? My little Realtors-in-Training will sometimes accompany me to the office when I just have a few things to take care of. Cloverly Park on Briggs Chaney Rd happens to be around the corner from Thompson Company Realtors' office on New Hampshire Ave. Besides ball fields, a tennis court and shaded picnic area, it also has a pretty neat playground.

Cloverly Park is adjacent to Cloverly Elementary School and is a popular neighborhood park in Colesville, MD.  

How could I possibly resist the "puh-lease mommy, can we go play?" when we pass Cloverly Park and have have a few minutes to spare?

 Cloverly Park


So, they have tested the slides and see-saw, climbed, monkey'd and went "real high" on the swings, too. The final verdict: Thompson Co. Realtors-in-Training highly recommend the playground at Cloverly Park ... mom approves as well and is thinking that the picnic area would make a fantastic 'outdoor' office for meeting with her Silver Spring, MD home buyers and sellers (there is a Starbucks within walking distance).

Perhaps the playground at Cloverly Park is the reason that my little helpers don't mind tagging along to drop off a key, take a few pictures, check on a listing, preview a home, drop off a file at the office ...

Or perhaps it is because Mr. Larry, as they call the owner of Thompson Co. Realtors, has a not-so-secret stack of candy bars just for them ..

Or perhaps it is because they love playing in our little office court yard with the beautiful old Magnolia tree that's just perfect for hiding behind or climbing on .... 

Or perhaps it is all of the above.

Hi Brenda, it's a great park and you know, I had this thought - it's so close to my office, there is a Starbucks within walking distance and it has a covered picnic area, perhaps I should move some of my client meetings there?

Hi Silvia, that's right! They are great helpers and earned their play time. I'm so lucky to be working in an office where they are welcome and that is close to a great park.

Hi Tammy, it definitely is! "Mr. Larry" truly puts family into the family business. When I'm just taking care of things, I like to bring them along and they love coming along.

Hi Andrea, it is definitely all the reasons you gave in the post that the kids love tagging along with you when you have to do some real estate business.

Hi Rebecca, I suspect the same thing :-) They are becoming pretty well versed in the world of Real Estate, too, and are very observant "this house smells funny", "needs too much work", "the yard is too small" or "it's too far from the park"!
