Smooth closings don't just happen. They are created with teamwork involving knowledgeable, kind, caring people working towards the same goal. So fortunate in my career that I continue to have thethe privilege of meeting these professionals. This week, we closed on 315 Northlands Ct. Bulle Rock. The efficient buyer's agents, a mother-daughter team, made this process a delight.Maria and Linda  Every call was made and answered professionally and with respect. We worked entirely as a team. Things got done by working in-tandem. Just one tiny example: It was a VA loan, and we needed a fast termite inspection and report. Several delays with scheduling, and we pulled together our contacts. The seller, the buyer's agents, and I all made calls to seewho could get it done the fastest. No one said... 09/19/2020

If I know anything, I know that every single day of the year is some kind of “National Day” of one type or the other. In fact, did you know that today was National Eat What You Want Day? Well, neither did I until I read Michelle Crowe-Carr’s post and then looked it up on the national day calendar.So, when I found out it was National Eat Want You Want Day, I also found out it was also: National Twilight Zone Day National Women’s Checkup Day And National Foam Rolling Day I'm not at all sure how one should celebrate any of these "days", but...you know what? Since it appears that anyone can declare a national day at the drop of a hat, I feel compelled to go ahead and add another one to the list. Today is also National Day After Mother’s Day Day. Woohoo.If you need some ideas on ways to cele... 05/11/2020

So, I’m doing my part, SIPing and everything.  However, my waistline can no longer tolerate ordering out, and my bank account ain’t too happy about it either. The biggest problem I’m facing – besides my increase in tonnage and decrease in coinage conundrum – has got to be the ridiculous amount of sodium in everything. I mean, geesh, I do realize that salt is a flavor enhancer, but...give me a break. Although I make a mean black bean burger (the secret to a mush-free burger being ensuring you dry the beans beforehand…you’re welcome) a person can only eat so many before boredom sets in.  Anyways…what has proven to be your family's best home-made, go-to dish during these crazy times, and, more importantly, are you willing to share your recipe? 05/11/2020

Like I always say, “You gotta love it when a plan comes together!”  This new first-time homebuyer couple was understandably happy to get their keys, and it showed on their faces. Fortunately, they were able to get into their new home just before the Corona-Crazy came to town. Just look at those beautiful smiles.If you are ready to purchase and/or you need to sell, don’t fret – just call Lanette. Granted, in today’s climate, it’ll no doubt take a little longer to get ‘er done, but, rest assured, I will get ‘er done!Stay safe my friends. 05/08/2020

Amidst the Corona-Crazy, have you noticed the many creative ways schools have been acknowledging student achievement? From kindergarten thru post grad, and everywhere in-between, I have been blown away by the creativity educators have shown in their efforts to keep the focus on the students. For example, below are at least two instances I know of from personal experience. Way back when, pre-pandemic, Belmont University in Nashville scheduled their commencement activities, including a graduation ceremony for the weekend of May 1-3.And guess what? Saturday’s May 2nd’s graduation ceremony went on as scheduled!  Granted, it was a virtual celebration, and it was in spite of rescheduling an in- person ceremony in August (although we all know that that probably ain’t happening, don’t we?). My ... 05/08/2020

I dedicate this post to my phenomenal daughter:Congratulations to all of the spring graduates who have worked so hard to reach this point. You have toughed it out for years, literally, and I am sorry that you are unable to celebrate your accomplishment the old fashioned way - sitting like sardines in a packed arena for hours on end, listening to (and laughing at) your school’s esteemed president or provost butchering graduates’ names by the dozens.  However, you can rest assured that your achievement is impressive nonetheless!Go forth, graduates, and conquer the world. Perhaps you will be the ones to discover the vaccine that will make “social distancing” a thing of the past.All that to say…we celebrate you in all your awesomeness and cannot wait for the day when we can acknowledge your... 05/06/2020

I really have got to get of the house. I know what you’re saying: Lanette, Governor Hogan has declared us "free"; real estate is an essential business, and we agents can leave the house and go forth and sell, sell, sell to our heart’s content.What I am saying, however, is something else altogether: I suffer from asthma, I am allergic to every irritant known to man (and some not-so-well-known), and I’m old af.  All of these factors add up to one inevitable conclusion - I ain’t going a damn place. Therefore, if the real-estating that buyers and sellers require of me can’t get done within the confines of my technologically, well-equipped Bel Air residence, it ain’t getting done. Periodt. Which leads me to a rather crucial point...I really have got to get out of the house. First off, my chi... 05/01/2020
