Pat Kennedy - Home in the Capital

The agents at Evers and Company probably do our part to increase the average age of the average Realtor here in the United States - which is someplace in the high-50s.  And there we were, a small group of village elders (with a combined three centuries of experience in real estate), sitting aroun...

1The other day, I was driving around town on a bunch of errands and heard a wonderful interview on National Public Radio.  The guest was Sara Blakely, the youngest self-made female billionaire in the history of the United States.  Sara is the founder of Spanx - a product that is in my dresser - p...

I come from a long line of serious fudge makers and have wonderful memories of my mother trying to teach me her secrets.  So I really enjoyed Carol's story.  jI also just scarfed down a box of homemade fudge that a lender left on my desk, and it was quite wonderful!Hope you enjoy this one and dro...

The halls aren't quite decked, but the tree is up and all decorated.  This is the first year that either Willie the Labradoodle or Millie the cat haven't done any damage at all.  For his first few years, the dog tried to chew the cord for the lights.  He must have gotten some sort of shock becaus...

I just love this post!  With all of the craziness in the world these days, ideal like this can keep the world fun and maybe even a little safer.  Hmmm.  I must learn more about this Rumi guy.  A recent Wall Street Journal article inspired this post. It was titled: “The Chicago Cubs are the Offici...

Before I start working with buyers, I make sure they have been pre-approved by a lender. And I've noticed that I usually have two numbers to work with.  There is the lender's number, then there is the other one.  The buyer's number.Most of the buyers I've encountered want to spend a lot less for ...

 Yesterday the Washington, DC area  had our first wintry weather.  Throughout the morning there was a layer of ice all over everything.  And when the sun came out, it lit up everything.  This is a leafless tree in my front yard that looks a lot better wearing a coat of ice.
