Pat's Postings - Brandon, MS Realtor

June is National Home Ownership Month! I am a firm believer in home ownership. I purchased my first home at age 17. Since then, I've bought and sold over a dozen PRIMARY residences, not including fixer uppers and flips. Perhaps I move more frequently than most, but with each move, I was able to r...

Who would have thought it difficult to find a Mississippi postcard? I remember seeing them years ago at service stations, drug stores, souvenir shops, etc., so when Ed Silva from Connecticut asked for help with his grandsons school project, I thought it was an easy mission. Turns out, not so much...

My phone rang this morning, and to my delight it was a prospective buyer who had asked for Realtor suggestions and was given my name. As we chatted, I learned what her needs were. I prepared an MLS search to see what was available. Homes are selling quickly in the Brandon MS market, especially in...

Several homes are available and in various stages of construction. The minimum square footage for homes in the development is 2000 heated and cooled. Prices range f...

The Spring real estate market is heating up across Central MS and we've noticed a marked increase in sales activity. To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, our marketing team created this fun postcard. The card read: Sellers shouldn't rely on the "Luck of the Irish" to sell their home. Instead, they sho...
