• Happy Birthday, LoCoMusings!

    15 Years of LoCo Stories Fifteen years ago today, LoCoMusings.com was ‘born’ as a modest little corner of the internet to share my thoughts about life and real estate in Loudoun County. Long before agents were able to use social media to reach their clients, before Zillow’s home search and Zestimates were mainstream, I was

    You might have noticed that it’s been a little while since we’ve published a post here. We thought it was time to catch you up on what’s been happening with us, and why you may not have heard from us in a few months. We’ve always been pretty open here at LoCoMusings about our life

  • It’s That Time Again…

    ·

    Every year I write a melancholy post looking forward and back. However, I haven’t posted here on Musings since I took the job at NAR back in July. It’s an odd place to be, this blog being my labor of love, while also inextricably tied to the LoCoMusings team real estate business. It feels a

    Some days, it’s hard to believe that it’s been eight years since I got started in real estate. Or six years since I first started blogging. LocoMusings came into being in mid-December, 2007, and has been a focal point of my life and business ever since.  As many of you know, I started out as

    So it’s been quiet here at LoCoMusings for the last week or so.  Trust me, I haven’t been sitting around eating bonbons and painting my toenails (although a vacation would be nice).  My dance card has been full with contract negotiations, listing appointments…and the Realtor Rally.

    Last week I was in Atlanta, privileged once again to speak at the Real Estate Tech South conference, affectionately dubbed (and pretty much renamed) RETSO.  It was a long week (I drove down Wednesday and back on Saturday), and I’m still worn out, but it’s a good tired.  It’s hard to describe how energized I

    Soooooo, it looks a little different around here, eh? It was time. The last full redesign of LoCoMusings happened on September 25, 2008. That’s centuries ago in internet years. 🙂 And everything up to this point was done by little old me. It was time to bring in the professionals. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy the new

    I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about how the public views real estate professionals as a whole, and there are a few things that I want you to know about me and the way that I conduct my business. I am full time Realtor, and have worked this as my only source of income

  • The House that Built *Me*

    ·

    This week, I did an interview with the folks at Century 21’s corporate office for their blog, which was a lot of fun. They had asked me about where my love of real estate came from, and the more I thought about it, I kept coming back to the house on Elizabeth Street in Salisbury.
