Crestwood is a neighborhood that I love, although I must admit to being completely biased.  I've lived here for over three decades.  The neighborhood is surrounded on three sides by Rock Creek Park, so there is access to hiking trails (for you and your dog), the Carter Baron Tennis Stadium, the s...

Woodley Park is a Washington favorite.  It's got Metro, the National Zoo, lots of restaurants, Rock Creek Park and Klingle Valley, and some beautiful homes. Most of the homes are attached, and two or three stories high.  And most were built during the early part of the last century.  If you want ...

This is another Paris photo.  It's a gargoyle condominium, also known as Notre Dame Cathedral. These creatures spend their days in their units multitasking.  Their first job is to ward off evil spirits, a task at which they are very experienced.Their second job is a little more practical. Gargoyl...

The other day, one of my favorite blog buddies did a reblog that caught my attention - because it really bothered me!  The major thesis was that 67% of all Realtors felt a lack of confidence when it came to their work.  And that didn't surprise me.  But their solution did.  It was a guide that se...

OK, I have no idea who or what SmartZip Analytics might be, but it is almost as funny as my Jabez Dawes post.  Enjoy! The holidays can be a strange time for real estate agents. Even your most eager clients have stopped texting and you can only play so many games of Yahtzee with your niece and nep...

lMost of my neighbors are pretty subdued when it comes to Christmas decorations.  You'll see outdoor lights on front porches and azalea bushes.  There will be wreaths on front doors. But there is one house down the street from me where the owner is exuberant when it comes to welcoming Santa into ...

Tonight after I sign off of ActiveRain, I will perform my major annual staying in touch ritual. Now, throughout the year, I try to stay in touch with what I think of as "Schmooze Calls" made to clients because there is something I want to tell them or because I just want to call to check in and p...
