I braved traffic and the cold this morning to witness the Buddhist monks walking for peace in Annapolis, MD. It was the quiet hope so many of us needed. It was truly inspiring to see in person and to be a small part of something so tremendously meaningful. The Venerable Monks Walk for Peace"We wa

In Real Estate, people often assume the biggest moments are tied to the biggest paychecks, like the record-breaking sale, the insane bidding war, and the showstopping luxury listing. Some people even wrongly assume we are all out there chasing those paychecks, as if that is the whole point of the

The process of staging never gets old (to me). There's something immensely gratifying about finally, after months of renovating, updating, decluttering, editing, and staging, reviewing the professional photography with my sellers. It's one of my favorite moments when my sellers say: "Wow! I didn'
