I'd like to take this moment to remind my friends in New Jersey (this applies everywhere)  how irrelevant national real estate news is.Simply put, every town , county and region throughout the USA are somewhat unique in terms of housing inventory, demand for housing, and economic factors.So the next time your nightly TV news has a national real estate update, I suggest you change the channel.  What is happening in Tallahassee, Florida is different from what is happening in Ogden Utah and certainly different from what is happening market wise In Burlington, New Jersey.If you want a true, honest, accurate market update on the value of your New Jersey property, please contact me.  If I don't service your area, I know someone who does.  (609) 864-8164.

Uncovering The Truth Behind NAR’s Settlement: What the Media Got WrongImagine being a member of the WORLD’S LARGEST TRADE ORGANIZATION - a PAYING member and hearing the news of a lawsuit settlement by your own organization BEFORE we, the members, learned of this settlement? When the media was informed about this settlement (supposedly simultaneously as we, THE MEMBERS of the world’s largest trade association were), they shouted the most preposterous headlines from the mountaintops. I awoke to these stories and was in SHOCK on Friday, March 15, 2024!  The first thing I heard was the our own trade organization had thrown its own members under the bus -  ‘admitting to collusion, price-fixing, etc.” The biggest issue I had with this whole scenario was that the media found out before we did ...

Please fly on over to his original post and make encouraging comments.

Become A Backyard Stink Bug Warrior The brown marmorated stink bugs that snuck into your house last fall are preparing to leave and replenish their species. It’s tempting to let them leave just as stealthily, but once they’re free to satisfy their voracious appetites, they’ll chew through fruit groves and ornamental plants. In Maryland, stink bugs are considered a severe agricultural and nuisance problem, according to Stop the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug’s surveillance. Stink bugs like to feast on your vegetable gardens, farmers' soybean crops, and black locust, maple, ash, and catalpa trees. They like cherries and raspberries, too. When stink bugs feed on crops, damage can include everything from bruises and blemishes to aborted sweet corn kernels to a change in the sugar levels in some...

The Birth of Whitsett Institute: Shaping Minds and a TownIn 1888, a pivotal moment arrived with the founding of Whitsett Institute by William Thornton Whitsett.
