MMM! For this month's marketing meeting, we didn't stay as local as we usually do. We had plans to visit a few specialty stores in Hyattsville, MD to hunt for new staging supplies (multiple listings are in the works) and decided to just pick a place nearby. Shagga is an Ethiopian restaurant serving up the most flavorful and colorful dishes. It's rather unassuming from the outside, sitting right on busy Baltimore Avenue, but the interior is cozy with just a few tables, colorful artwork and mouthwatering aromas. As soon as you step inside, your tastebuds will dance with anticipation! The service was warm, friendly, and fast, and the food was just absolutely delicious. I tried a combo of vegetarian dishes (salad, cabbage, split lentils, and split peas) and Cherie had a taste of the chicken... 03/24/2023

Just Sold - 15105 Peregrine Ct, Bowie, MD 20721If there was ever a lesson to be learned from the sale of a home, this one certainly provided many lessons.I always say "it ain't over until the fat lady sings, and I haven't even begun to warm up yet".  The buyer came to me through floor duty or opportunity time.  They called about this home and they said they were preapproved for a loan.  I met them at the home and they loved it.  This was their forever dream home.  The original lender was one I had worked with before but wasn't confident in their ability to close the transaction and my buyers were competing with other prospective buyers.  Our in-house lender couldn't get them approved, my regular lender for unusual sources of income couldn't get them closed and the original lender would ... 01/28/2023

Just Sold - 149 Green Branch Rd, Laurel, MD 20708A lot of buyers don't consider working with a Realtor when they buy a brand-new home.  Buyers may be out driving around and happen upon a new construction site and the next thing you know they are under contract for a new home.  Every buyer in the state of Maryland has the right to be represented by a Realtor.  The representative that sits in the model home represents the builder.  Sure they can write your contract for you, and they'll write the contract for you if I represent you too.  But, that representative will do whatever is in the best interests of their client, the builder.  They can't advise you on price, features, finishes, future market conditions, or if the builder's financing is a good option for you.  149 Green Branch Road i... 10/31/2022

Just SOLD in Belair at Bowie.

This classic 1960s Cape Cod is in Bowie's "R" section and the post-war era subdivision  of Belair at Bowie. Belair at Bowie was built by NYC developer William Levitt, "America's biggest builder of single-family homes" (as reported by the Post in 1960). These homes were built on former plantation and horse farm land, and centered around the Belair Mansion. Unusual at the time, they were constructed on concrete slab and "basementless" but offered "all the extras you'll need for comfortable living: appliances, central air conditioning, electrical fixtures, painting, landscaping, garages, driveways, built-in TV FM antennas..."
