Halloween Safety Tips

Halloween is here again! Spooky goblins, eerie zombies, creepy witches...most of them under 5' tall! Halloween has always been my favorite holiday - even more than my birthday, and that's saying a lot. (Yes, I did just declare my birthday to be a national holiday.) This year, two of my older kids have crossed that line to "old enough that if they go trick or treating it's creepy", so I'm down to the two youngest. My 13-year-old, who knows that he's rapidly approaching that age himself, has a bloody clown mask that he's going to wear with an all-black outfit. My five-year-old, however, is still very much in the throes of the holiday; he'll be out there breathing the joy of running of from house to house, receiving candy and being dressed as a superhero. I'm smiling just thinking about it. 

Halloween night travels beg care, though. There are a lot of safety precautions to remember when you're out and about this evening. I've compiled a list that hopefully will be helpful to you when you're out there with your own little goblins. So with that, I bid you a spooky good evening!

Why You Need A Realtor!

A licensed real estate professional provides much more than the service of helping you find your ideal home.

Realtors® are expert negotiators with other agents, seasoned financial advisors with customers, and superb navigators around the local neighborhood. They are members of the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) and must abide by a Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice enforced by the NAR. A professional Realtor is your best resource when
buying your home.

Washington DC area Labor Day weekend events

Labor Day weekend in the Washington, DC area is around the corner, and many homeowners and renters are leaving town. Many others of us will stay closer to home and will be looking for fun things to do. My daughter will be performing with her high school marching band in both the Kensington and the Gaithersburg Labor Day parades. I’m not sure what else I’ll be during this long weekend, but I know there will be plenty of fun activities and events to choose from! I’ve compiled a list of some of the local Labor Day events:
