I am feeling so much gratitude today for Praful Thakkar. My journey with Praful began years ago in Philadelphia when he reached out while visiting for a seminar. We decided to meet in Center City for dinner, and since it was a beautiful spring or summer evening, the city was still glowing with daylight. Our evening took an interesting turn when we arrived at a highly-rated Indian restaurant he’d picked. Despite plenty of open tables, the staff tried to tuck us away in the back by the kitchen. Praful, always a man of integrity and high standards, wasn't having it. He looked at me and said, "Come on, we’re leaving." We walked down the street to another spot where the hospitality was wonderful, and we spent the night in deep conversation—he was even surprised at how much I love spicy food...

Here is a variation on a classic recipe of mine. It is easy, so here it is How to make  Amazing Pineapple Cranberry Sauce I made it for Thanksgiving, and it was so good. I made some more for myself. You need, in my opinion, ripe cranberries if you can find them, but any will do. Be sure to rinse them. 16 oz can of crushed pineapple1 bag 12 oz fresh cranberries 1 cup of white sugar  cinnamon - vanilla - almond extract(I used vanilla bean paste, but extract will be fine ) One-half teaspoon of each, add this when you add the berries Drain the crushed pineapple to equal 1 cup of liquid. If you are short by 1 cup, using water to make up the difference is best. Stir the sugar and pineapple juice together in a saucepan until it boils, then add the cranberries and return to a boil. Stir in the ...

Every November we are challenged to write what we are grateful for hosted by Debe Maxwell, CRS . I sat here and Immediately a few things popped into my mind. So I will start to write about what I did two years ago For over thirty-six years I worked in a traditional Real Estate office I had my own office there and went in to meet clients when I needed to but also went there too as they say to hang out at the water cooler. That really is an expression. I wasn't hanging there but I did go there even if I didn't have anything to really do. I would work on my computer and chat with some agents. Sometimes we would go out to lunch or order lunch. Maybe a mortgage person would stop by or a Home Inspector. I had not done Floor time also called opportunity time in many years but past clients or o...

Pine tree farms is a small single home community located in the Feasterville section of Bucks County. It is also in the Neshaminy school district, which is a highly rated school. There is a homeowners association it is not, however, mandatory, but the cost to belong is very low and they do upkeep the community and run a very nice newsletter.  They are a friendly group of people and very neighborly especially around the holidays . If you belong to the association you certainly benefit from this very small yearly donation .  Local businesses also advertise in the newsletter because the people do use the services and it is a wonderful community full of great warm loving people .Folks that live here have lived here for many years and it is not an area that you see people moving in and out o...

 Last week  May 4, 2021, we were really fortunate to have Craig Grant present 'Google in the Cloud ' at our Zoom meeting. Craig Grant is an amazing speaker and if you have ever heard him speak you know he will have you mesmerized within minutes. Craig spoke at our Realtor Board Zoom Meeting I was so impressed I told Debe Maxwell, CRS  and Kathy Streib  who asked me if he would join our Zoom meeting. Craig Grant.infoRETI.US has classes every Wednesday at 4 PM EST        Craig does not usually speak in small groups and to be honest, does get paid to speak and does so on a national level. When I spoke to him begging him to speak at our Zoom meeting he finally agreed and said have someone from Active Rain contact me. I laughed and told him I am from Active Rain he then laughed as he thought...

This post is inspired by Michael Jacobs it is about a series on Netflix  THE SERPENT It is a true story that of course was dramatized but was so bizarre that the expression truth is stranger than fiction comes to mind.  Thanks to someone who worked in the Dutch Embassy who knew that there was truth to these events he sacrificed his career to find the truth. He not only jeopardized his career but also his personal life to get at the truth and to find justice in this unbelievable tale of a serial killer.  It takes place in the '70s in Asia a man and woman drugging young travelers who mysteriously are not heard from again. Who would care? Who Would Know?  This BBC movie series will keep you on the edge of your seat. You will want to watch all of it in one sitting. A true story   The Serpen...

HelpfulHannah's Spring  Tip for your HomeSpring is here and it is time to do some important home maintenance items. Let's face it we usually wait until the last minute like everyone else does. To me, one of the most important items, when it gets warm and uncomfortable, is the air conditioning unit. Especially when you have allergies and pollen is blowing around in the air   It is time to change the filters go to the store and have extra ones on hand. They should be changed when needed. Perhaps every three to four months. It may also be a good idea to have your HVAC unit serviced before the hot weather begins. It is best to do now.  Waiting until the last minute may put you at the bottom of the list. You may be without an HVAC in hot weather because you did not do spring maintenance. Cal...

 What is happening in Pine Tree Farms in the Feasterville section of Lower Southampton Pennsylvania 19053. One thing is for sure there are no houses up for sale. So if you are thinking of selling this the time. Usually, we say Spring is the time of year to put your house on the market but right now there are many buyers looking to buy but no homes for them to purchase. Interest rates are at an all-time low. No one can predict what the rates will do in the future although they are predicted to stay low no one really knows what the economy will do. The other plus is there is no competition. So if you are on the fence it is a good time to jump. Let us take a look at what has Sold/Closed in the last ninety days Looking at the SOLD we can get a better idea of the value of your Pine Tree Farm...

  There are so many things to be thankful for in this world. I am thankful to wake up every morning and to go to sleep each night. Thankful for a warm and cozy bed to snuggle into and dream the night away  Thankful to have been in Selling Real Estate since 1985. Going through all the different changing markets.  I have made wonderful relationships along the way. Most of all I had the privilege to be introduced to clients that entrusted me to either sell their house or find them a house.  These experiences have been full of fun and learning experiences. Either way, many of my clients have become repeat business and friends. I have been blessed. Thinking back I remember having to pay my dues and sit to do what is called opportunity time or floor time. Where you sit in the office and answe...

  My friend and associate Jeff Dowler, CRS   asked me to write what I  was grateful for in 2020. One of the most important things I am grateful for is my Tuesday Zoom meeting with my Active Rain Members. It started out as a social event during the COVID19 Pandemic. We had such a wonderful get-together that we decided to invite more Active Rain members  How could we encourage other members to participate that was a question we asked each other? We came up with what we felt was a great solution. Let's do a challenge and offer points if you attend a meeting and write a post. Now we needed more than just a meeting let's invite speakers as we have a wealth of knowledge within Active Rain.  So it began we had wonderful speakers Marte Cliff  the copi writer joined us and spoke she was marvelou...

 Not long ago I went out on an unusual listing and I was not the first agent to go out on the listing .The property was also listed before and never sold. The sellers told me they really were not motivated to sell at the time and were just testing the market.  They were ready to sell now and retiring  They had a business in their home. Agents were telling them all kinds of information and so many different prices. Each agent gave them different reasons why their home was worth a certain price . We walked through the house and it showed beautiful.  Kitchen was amazing and updated high ceilings in Living room and Dining room there was even a three season room. The bedrooms were decorated perfect and so were the bathrooms.  We went down to the lower level and there was a beautiful family r...

I represent taxpayers in Bucks and Montgomery County and the rest of the Philadelphia area with tax issues.  I have recently seen an uptick in individuals who have not filed tax returns, some for many years. In fact, the non-filer issue is a major priority of the IRS, who have stated publicly that they have identified more than 10 million taxpayers who have failed to file returns, many of which voluntarily came forward looking for economic stimulus checks earlier this year. In coming weeks, the IRS plans to roll-out an initiative to target these non-filers.In addition, it is worth noting that the willful failure to file a tax return is a federal tax crime under the Internal Revenue Code's Section 7203.So what can non-filers do, and how can we help them get their tax return issue resolve...

  It was settlement day. I was picking up the seller so I was up and ready extra early.  The car was dead when I turned the key. Oh no I have the file with all the checks. I called my local auto repair shop and explained they were sending guys over they are the best. My heart was pounding. I called the seller and explained he told me to relax and call him back.   Thankfully it was the battery a jump fixed the problem let it run for ten minutes and off you can go. I picked up the seller. The house was in Feasterville but went to Newtown for settlement. It was a 35-minute ride and the GPS had the directions wrong. When we called we received voice mail so we left a message hoping to get a callback. I went into a bank nearby asking if they knew where the location was. They did not. Finally ...

  Recently when i was out shopping I heard many seniors complaining how difficult it was for them to keep up with the  rental increases every year. They were so distressed as the increases were a large jump and were told there were waiting lists for there units if they didn't want to pay. Loving where they lived of course the increase would be paid perhaps with a sacrifice for other necessities. Rental increases and the cost of living for seniors just somehow are not balancing for some. Here is some wonderful information. This is just one of five programs so don't get disappointed I have read this in an email sent to me from SRA and wanted to share it. There are two very important articles.  The first article is about the tax relief. The other about a scam trying to get your bank accoun...
