There’s no bad time of year, or perfect time of year to buy a home. But if you’re shopping for property during the winter season, there are definitely things you want to keep in mindand mistakes you want to avoidduring the process.

One of the best things about summer is enjoying al fresco dinners on your balcony on sweltering evenings while admiring the city lights. However, you don't have to retreat indoors just because summer has come to an end. A good balcony can be so much more than just a summer-time hangout. Here are 15 ways to use your balcony all fall and winter.

Merry Christmas to all our clients, family and friends. Hope you have a wonderful and memorable day!

The Greatest Christmas Story Ever Told (Real Estate Version) Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse... My signs were all out and brochure boxes loaded The ad copy in and the lock boxes coded. I just wrote an offer with that 1 perfect buyer eeghads its so lowthey say they won’t go any higher So I call up my seller with the not so good news And they agree to meet with mewhat have they got to lose So we sit at the table & I do what I do best Crunch numbers, talk deadlines and give it a rest So the sellers agree and get ready to sign And then they exclaim We’ve got an equity line! More crunching & digging to find extra money The sellers are smilingbut this really isn’t funny 3 months on the market with nary a showing Now I have an offer and not sure how its going And that’s when they ask what I don’t want to hear Can you cut your commission? and they crack open a beer What I need is a Martini while relaxing by a pool I reply that I can’tit’s a company rule So I ring up the buyer right there on the spot I need to know if they’ll consider a counter or not To my surprise they speak up, ‘we’ve got $5000 more’ If its signed tonight we’ll accept it, but absolutely no more. So back to sellers for signatures on the line They him & they haw & then finally sign I email the buyer and get their reply Accepted as countered, Now I’m flying high The sellers are happy as I walk out the door It’s just 9pm, I can stop at the store I pick up some goodies for my own Christmas treat Head home to chill out and put up my feet. When I drive up to my house it is such a great sight All lit up for the holidays with the lights oh so bright A smile crosses my face as I thought it just might Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!
