Susan Mangigian, Chester County Realtor

If you know me, you know how irritatingly obnoxious I am about my birthday.  This year was a biggie.  I turned 60. Yep, holy cow!  My son made a card that I can't post here but what he wrote was exactly how I feel and if you are friends with me on Facebook, you've seen it!60.  I can't say the num...

I went to a wedding the weekend before last.  One of my dearest friend's daughter married a lovely young man at an exquisite venue near Lancaster.  If you haven't heard or been to Moonstone Manor, you are missing out.  Absolutely lovely grounds and facilities. Seeing a young woman I've known sinc...

Ahhh.  The first day of August, otherwise known as the death knell of summer.  If you are a summer person, and a water lover like I am, the ending of summer is not something to celebrate. The shorter days mean less walks after dinner with my beloved little dog, less gardening in the evening, cool...

I love Thursdays because it forces me out of my day to day into a place of gratitude when I sit down to write these Thankful Thursday posts.   My top 10 things to be thankful for are: Today is June 6, the 75th anniversary of D-day.  To say it's hard to imagine the amount of courage it took for th...

I had to empty my pool this year because last year, I wasn't able to keep enough chlorine in the water.  No matter how much I added, when I took the water to be tested, it was low.  The pool company suggested that since I haven't emptied the pool since it went in about 15 years ago, that we shoul...

It's been a pretty lovely April. The spring flowering bulbs put on quite a show and the flowering trees were magnificent.  I have had my son Max here for a few weekends home to see friends and my son Mike was here for Easter. My heart was overflowing.  There really is nothing as nice as enjoying ...

Where does the time go?  Here we are, more than halfway through April. The good news is that Spring has really sprung in Chester County.  My grass is gloriously green.  My trees are flowering and I have daffodils galore!  It is such a wonderful awakening of life and every year I am grateful to st...

It's the last Thursday in March!  We have made it through another long and dark winter.  We have made it through our biological clocks angst at DST.  Now that I don't have to drag children out of bed in the dark for a 7 AM bus to school, I look forward eagerly to the time change as I am not a mor...

I just wrote a post about this at my website, ChesterCountyPreferredHomes.com.  These are questions to ask yourself and your trusted real estate agent.  I go into details there but some people are afraid to list because they wonder if by waiting, their home will increase in value.  That's a possi...
