Sometimes it is time to give up the big house and move into smaller spaces . Look you may even have a comparable view . You may have that big back yard with a deck . You also either have to mow that big back yard or pay someone to do it  Wouldn't  it be nice to still have a nice view with a balcony . Someone else is taking care of the lawns . You have a great view . There is plenty of time to enjoy the view without all the work . Plus there are many other benefits besides the view   Condo living is not for everyone . It is an easy carefree style of living   If you think  condo living may be for you please give me a call we can discuss what is important to you      I have many interested buyers both in the Gardens and the Mid RiseHannah Williams Re/Max Eastern  215 953 8800 cell 215 820 ...

When I first entered into the Real Estate business over thirty years ago I was told listings were the name of the Real Estate profession .  Yes it was how we got our bread and butter   It was also how we received paid vacations It was the only way you could be out of town and make money .   I was handed a reverse directory book full of phone numbers and addresses  I was to call the people and say " Hello my name is Hannah Williams from XYZ Real Estate   would you  be interested in selling your house today or sometimes in the near future " Sometimes the people would talk to me and I would write all this info on a 3 x 5  index card . I would follow up with a thank you card and call again with permission at a later date just to talk . This was before Do not call lists . I will tell you thi...

 It is Monday morning at 9AM and here they come these annoying telemarketing calls .  I receive so many of these calls and they are really annoying . Most of them do come in from an out of area code not a local area code . I will say lately some have started to come in on local phone lines .  Because I am a Real Estate agent I felt compelled to answer these calls Now I let these annoying calls  go into voice mail   Last week I received one and I was in a very unusual mood and listened for a few minutes . They congratulated me I was now eligible for a collage scholarship would I please tell them what year I received my GED or graduated High School  . I said I am 85 years old . I did not want to go back to collage ..CLICK  is what I heard on the other end . How rude these callers are .  T...
