This 4 bedroom 2 bath Sandpoint Idaho area home, in neighboring Kootenai Idaho, has much going for it. Optimum location being an obvious stand out, but what I want to emphasize here is an item that is not easily noticed from the front side.  The large size of the completely fenced back yard.With access from the kitchen to the rear concrete patio and fire pit, this makes for great summer BBQ's and entertaining.  Views of Schweitzer Ski Resort also available from the back yard.   Yet another benefit to the fenced back yard is the gated access to alley.  Gives one the ability for secure storage of boat, RV, trailer...    Looking for affordability with many comfortable living conveniences and extra benefits such as this large back yard?  Contact me for more information or an appointment to ... 05/24/2023

Lawsuits relating to cyber security incidents are on the rise, according to the 9th Annual Data Security Incident Response Report published by law firm BakerHostetler.

Google has announced a new Inactive Account Policy that every business owner needs to understand. From their update: Starting later this year, if a Google Account has not been used or signed into for at least 2 years, we may delete the account and its contents – including content within Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar) and Google Photos. The policy only applies to personal Google Accounts, and will not affect accounts for organizations like schools or businesses.

As I was driving to the Bensalem Real Estate office today I saw lights flashing and heard sirens. There was a car behind me. It was not a police car. I pulled over some to see if he needed to get by me thinking it might be a volunteer fireman. Nothing he stayed behind me. The light was green so I proceeded to turn. He followed again I moved to the right so he could pass me and he did not. Lights still flashing I became nervous and my heart started pounding as I had seen on the news about women being stopped by cars, not police vehicles, and being cautioned to be aware of the dangers. I knew I was not speeding and had not gone through stop signs or red lights so I continued to the main road where he passed me and signaled me to pull over and I saw he had a uniform.  I explained I thought... 05/25/2023

Penalizing people with good credit in the housing industry has gotten a LOT of buzz lately, and I believe this recent and passionate blog about what is going on in the industry is well-deserving of a read.  We began talking about this in February and March, and guess what--despite public outrage, it's not going away.  We'll discuss financing, if applicable, and help you find a reputable lender if you need one for your purchase---but this is a great public interest piece.  When it's time to start your Door County home search, star at moredoorcounty.com  Ok, last blog about the recent changes to LLPAs (loan level pricing adjustments)- I hope.  But in the spirit of working to force FHFA to get it right, I'm finding it necessary to highlight the topic again. A LOT of people believe that the... 05/23/2023

This is a special shout-out and thank you to Michael Jacobs, a long-time AR member who inspires us to ponder so many things...in every post he shares! Michael has, for years, shared thoughtful articles that take us on intellectual and emotional journeys we don’t expect, and perhaps don’t realize we are taking until we finish reading and realize how our thinking has been transformed or inspired. There are always surprises in Michael’s thoughtful writing that invite us to open our minds to other perspectives and view points on life and business. Sometimes predictable, but so often not. That’s part of the enjoyment of Michael’s writing. But this post is not about Michael’s musings but a special thank you for his recent help. Michael and I have not met…perhaps surprising given we live just ... 05/24/2023

Home is where the heart is. As a veteran Realtor with 20 years of experience, I've had the privilege of meeting home sellers at different stages of their lives. Even if sellers claim not to be emotionally attached, I know that's not always the case. Selling a beloved home can feel like losing years of memories and a neighborhood full of friendships, especially when it involves uprooting from your current city or community. In this blog, let's explore a three-step process to help you handle your emotions when selling your home.Step 1: Embrace Your FeelingsDuring the selling process, emotions may fluctuate. Challenges may arise, and you may feel disheartened by the results of a home inspection report. It's important to acknowledge and embrace these emotions as a natural part of the proces... 05/23/2023

The saying "April Showers bring May flowers" is traced back to Thomas Trusser a 1500's English poet who was a farmer known for his  contributions to agricultural writings. One of my favorite spots in my back yard in May is where the yellow Sedum blooms shadow the Violet Riot Sage.  Sedum is a succulent that is great ground cover and will sprout and grow from the cracks in the retaining wall. The beautiful purple spikes of the Violet Riot Sage will bloom until the first Jack frost arrives in the fall.  The Violet Riot Sage is a herbaceous perennial which returns each spring, attracts many Butterflies , Hummingbirds, and is bee-friendly which helps pollinate my neighboring garden. Mothers Day weekend in May is traditionally when I plant my tomatoes and look forward to late July when the B... 05/23/2023
