At one new home community I visited with clients from New Jersey, the Builder said "We call this community South South Jersey". We all laughed but I think my clients felt more [...]

Some people thinking of moving when they retire almost resent it and that is no way to move at this age. If you have spent your entire life say in New Jersey or Maryland and the only reason youre thinking of moving is because of taxes, think again. Does it surprise you that I would say that a REALTOR from Delaware saying maybe you shouldnt [...]

Last year I read an article by Gayle Guynup, Editor of Style Magazine, entitled Places I have called home and put it in my file for future blog posts. Sometimes I feel like I have lived everywhere.
