I have always believed that no one looks for a real estate agent: they look for a house. In so doing most buyers start online (in years gone by it used to be in print or on television) and one thing is a certainty in my view. List good homes and market them really well and buyers will call you to

Fortunately today I was able to function, if only on a limited basis. My friend and contractor Jim spent most of the day hanging pictures and moving things around. It seems the more he does, the more there is for him to do, but he is a very good eye with a very good eye and a great attitude. I h

Since moving to the Berkshires last week, I have meet more people than I could have ever imagined. I fell and badly injured my ankle and foot, and am home recuperating. I am not now, nor have I ever been, any good at being dependent on others and so this situation has become a lesson in humility

It is early and it is yet to lighten. I had a long day yesterday, but a terrific one. Jim, my friend and contractor brought another guy and they worked for a couple of hours to set my home up. My physical therapist came by and worked with me and taught me some exercises to strengthen my bad leg.

I have been in the Berkshires since last Friday night. My old home closed last Friday and my new adventure began thereafter. Never in a trillion years would I have guessed what was in store for me. After my accident on Saturday I have been kind of just trying to float in an ever changing current.

In the morning things are hopeful, I get up and realize that life can be tough and I want to make the best of the worst. The snow is lightly falling and I have a big day: a sponge bath, a visit from the visiting nurse and if I get real lucky my contractor friend will move some furniture around. I

It is a really lovely day in the Berkshires, the snow is falling and covering the trees and blowing itself about. I had longed for this type of day to stare at the phenomenon in a cozy chair or sofa and watch the world go by. It isn't exactly as I had planned it, but the windows from my bed are o

In my small space I am in charge, that is until I am not. Today I am in my new home, but I have no furniture or services. That is coming on Monday. This process of selling has been difficult. What matters most is the caliber of the people with whom you work, and then those with whom you deal. My

There isn't a day that goes by that I am not grateful for the dogs in my life, the ones I have now and the ones that are no longer with me. Today I saw a wonderful video that moved me and summed up this feeling. This is a great insight into what a dog is and does provide. I hope you enjoy this, a
