Can’t Find the Right Home? Maybe You Need a New Search Button. . .

House Hunting

We have come to rely on the Internet for. . . well, for just about all our information! We search for  friends, family, restaurants and REAL ESTATE.  As Realtors,  we search and search for the perfect new home for our Buyers and for the perfect sales price for our Sellers.  However, what we cannot do is touch and feel the real estate market through the internet.  The search buttons just don’t do house hunting justice.  We often hear Buyers discarding properties because the pictures are bad – or they are just boring.   You just can’t tell from the internet how a home “lives,” which is why we spend a tremendous amount of time going to the Broker previews.  It is the only way that we know how to provide valuable information and input to our buyers and sellers.  We are sometimes very disappointed by the actual feel of a property  — often we are pleasantly surprised.

So what’s the point of this blog?  A great Realtor is an extremely effective “Search Button.”  Find someone who will really listen to you and then share with them what you want. . .  not just the number of beds and baths but how you want your new home to LIVE. We love it when clients describe their lifestyle and how they want their home to feel day in and day out.   The Realtor then becomes an incredibly useful and time-saving tool and not just someone who can just unlock the front door.  Wouldn’t you trade endless hours of internet house hunting – for hours curled up with your IPAD in a cozy chair in your new home, spending your time searching for friends, family, and oh, those great restaurants!

Fame Optimum Condimentum

Bold and Bright on the west wall of the North End Caffe are these words–translated from the Latin:  “Hunger is the Best Seasoning.”   However, hungry or not this restaurant “nails it” on freshness, flavor and creativity.  We LOVE this restaurant.  Taya Asimos and I went to lunch here today.  (When I stop in for  breakfast I always have “Eggs From Hell” a deliciously spicy egg dish–after you taste this dish once, just try and order something else!)  However, today, on the lunch menu, I ordered the Jalisco salad.  Fresh greens, cucumber, turkey, green tomatillo sauce and avocado – not only Yum and Double Yum. 

Here's what Taya had for lunch:The Mario Salad- prosciutto di parma, fresh mozzarella, checca & fried egg on spring greens

The atmosphere is crowded and bustling, but with indoor and outdoor dining, AMAZING coffee, wonderful iced teas and — quite simply — extremely tasty food, I have been pleased every time I have eaten here. Don’t miss this restaurant – hungry or not!!
