Towson Real Estate Marney Kirk

  This was the view from the window by the elevator on my way to the first meeting of our company's region's Associate Leadership Council retreat. Though my room didn't have a view, this caught my eye, and I grabbed my iPhone to take a photo. I never seem to have my really good camera around when...

A friend was telling me that she got a random email from a past client of hers. It was a form letter, it was cc'd to a bunch of people. But the sentiment was true and real, and actually meant a lot to her. I am now going to put my own thanks on my signature on emails for the month of November. "I...

Last week I attended Real Estate Barcamp Washington, DC. I will admit, I was not feeling terrific, so I know I didn't get the most out of the day. Add onto that the major issue I had blowing up in my face on a deal, my head was just not there. But what came of that was just amazing. I was lucky e...

I am sitting with great anticipation, waiting for my first session at Real Estate Blogworld 2009. I am thrilled that it has overlapped with a trip I was making anyway, and can't wait to learn learn learn! I have only been at blogging and social media effectively for a little over a year, so I kno...

I recently wrote about the crazy week where I listed three fantastic properties. The homes were all gorgeous and priced well. I am proud to report that all three are under contract. Of course, we have trials to overcome with scheduling coinciding closings, and the way loans have been happening re...

Driving to pick up my son each day, I have been seeing signs galore for the "Baltimore Party in the Park" this Sunday the 10th from 11-5. I have to admit my interest was piqued, and this evening I finally got the chance to look at the website for this party. What I discovered was something remark...

The third wonderful home I listed last week is a stunning detached home in Hunters Run/Hunt Valley Station with four bedrooms upstairs and two full baths, plus a fully finished lower level with a bedroom full bath, rec room and pool table room. Original owners had the home built in 1991 and spare...
