From Fax Machines to AI... What an Amazing Ride!When I first got into real estate, I thought the fax machine was a huge time saver.Our contracts were handwritten or typed. We needed copies for the buyer, seller, agents, title, and lender. Remember carbon paper..." press hard, it's cheap carbon.'' The copy machine looked like it needed its own instruction manual. Everything seemed complicated, and yet every new piece of technology promised to make life just a little bit easier. Not sure what order the pager came in.There was the bag phone. Remember those? It felt like carrying a suitcase just so you "thought" you could make a phone call. Next came the Palm Pilot. My daughter looked at me and said, "No way will you ever use that." Challenge accepted.  I remember taking a trip and making i... 07/16/2026

Even in the middle of summer, the Catonsville housing market remains active. This week, there are 17 Coming Soon homes, 15 new listings, and nearly half of the new listings are already under contract.One of the biggest takeaways? The first two weeks on the market are critical. Most homes that went under contract this week received an offer within 14 days. If a home sits longer, it's often a sign that the price needs to be adjusted—not by a few hundred dollars, but by enough to capture buyers' attention.This week's sales also showed just how much pricing and presentation matter. One Catonsville home sold for an incredible 124% of its list price after attracting multiple offers, while another sold for just 73.5% of its original asking price. The difference wasn't just location—it was stra... 07/14/2026
