ActiveRain March Challenge: Life Lessons from ParentsPatricia Feager and Lew Corcoran are the hosts for the "March 2025 ActiveRain Challenge: Sharing the Gift of Who You Are." The ActiveRain challenge is to share the profound impact someone had on you in shaping you to who you are today.During this second week of the ActiveRain March Challenge, my thoughts turn to the life lessons I learned from my parents. When we are young, we sometimes have no idea of the impact that the actions of our parents will have on our lives as adults.Yesterday, I received this email comment from my younger sister, Wynne Roos: "I learned from Daddy's example of being kind and friendly to everyone he encountered. He "never met a stranger."  I learned from our mother to listen to people, especially to those who...

It is getting to be that time of year again.  Spider webs, cauldrons and spooky characters.  Some like to go to Haunted houses, haunted forests, but my idea of fun is the  Candlelight Ghost Tours in Frederick Maryland. Did you know that Frederick is over 250 years old?   Many of the major Civil War battles were fought  around Frederick County.  The Battle of Antietam, South Mountain and the Monocacy Battle.   Frederick was the largest city during these battles and many of the wounded soldiers came to Frederick for medical help. Downtown Frederick has been restored and updated over the years.  Just think of the small quaint alley ways, wonder what is lurking there down the way?    You can go antiquing down Patrick and Market streets.  There are many restaurants for your dining pleasure. ...

The DC Metro area was one of the fastest appreciating areas in the country for homes during the last 5 years.   Like the old saying goes, “What goes up, must come down”, and many have felt the pinch of the housing crunch over the last year.   Falling home prices have caused financial hardship for many, while others have found relief with a debt consolidation loan.   A debt consolidation loan simply uses the equity in the home to pay off other expenses.   Let me give you an example of a recent situation and how a debt consolidation loan changed their monthly expenses.   Mr. and Mrs. Homeowner owe $147,000 on their current mortgage.   They paid $160,000 in 2004 with just 5% down.  The house, even after depreciation in the last year, is worth $300,000.    They currently have a 7% mortgage ...

I have always been blessed as an agent in my area in terms of being "successful" .  Many REALTORS® have different ways of calculating success.  Some will count how many homes they sold at the end of the year, others will use their income as the gage for their success.  I gage my success in a different way.  For me, it is the relationships that I establish that will hopefully last a lifetime. Many of my clients are first time homebuyers.  I am honored to be involved in a person or couple's first home purchase.  It is a milestone in their life that they will someday look back on with pride that they accomplished and I played a role in the transaction. I have also been lucky enough to be invited to some of their weddings.  As it turns out, I have been invited to 4 weddings this year.  It i...

GAITHERSBURG/KENTLANDS/LAKELANDS, MD REAL ESTATE TREND INDICATOR     If you are thinking about buying or selling a home in zip code 20878, you should take a close look at the following report that compares the statistics for August with the same month last year.

Last Sunday our office had an office BBQ at the Seneca Creek State Park in Gaithersburg.  It was a really fun afternoon.  Our office does a really great job keeping us things positive and fun.  Kara Hurley, one of our office managers and party organizer extrodinaire, thought it would be a fun afternoon for us all to come out and hang out together and just let go of the market for a bit.  I think it is really a great thing that even in tight times our brokers and managers are trying to keep things up and positive for all. The office supplied the burgers and Hot dogs, the rest of us brought all of the side dishes.  There was more than enough for all.  Everyone was invited, the kids and all. For a fund raiser our broker, Ken Crowley what a sport, let us pie him for donations to the Childre...
