Rainy Day Inspiration

What do you do when the rain keeps us indoors and you’ve already finished your Spring cleaning?

If you’re lucky like us and get to work from home, rainy days are a chance to have a little adventure around the house. Explore rooms you don’t use as often and look for items you may have misplaced, like garage keys or jewelry. I just found a bracelet I thought was lost forever!

A little rain never stopped me from going outside. And with all the atmospheric rivers we’ve seen, you’d be advised to give your home a regular check for overflowing gutters, leaky eaves, and potential wind and hail damage to your roof. You never know when the other shoe will drop!

Aging in Place - Silicon Valley Style!

As people on the verge of retirement consider the considerable costs of staying in the Bay Area, one senior decided to take advantage of updated rules and added an ADU in her backyard that will generate enough income for her to age in place.

The Mountain View Voice has the story.

Happy National Cuddle Up Day!

All this cold and gloomy weather has us longing for warm blankets, hot cocoa, and the comfort of loved ones. It’s the perfect time to celebrate National Cuddle Up Day! So cozy up to that warm companion and stay dry while it’s raining cats and dogs this weekend…

Resolutions

We all have them, even if we don’t want to tell anyone else because we might jinx ourselves, like wishing on your birthday candles. But for reals, what are your resolutions for 2023?

I’m resolving to get outside! After three years mostly cooped up by COVID, it’s time to enjoy all the food and parks and wonders that Silicon Valley has to offer. In fact, I started a list of all the new spots that have opened up since everything shut down, and I can’t wait to start checking them off. But don’t worry, I’ll still bring my mask along and make sure my vaccinations are up to date. Better safe than sorry, especially when you’re having fun!

My new year’s resolution is to spend more time on fun projects around our house and our clients’ homes. One of the joys of our real estate work is helping sellers prep their properties to get the highest value and guiding buyers through the maze of inspections, repairs, and upgrades that come with making their new homes feel like they’ve lived there for years. I’m looking forward to dryer months ahead!

Every Day is a Blessing

2022 is almost a wrap, and 2023 is just around the corner. For us, the highlight of our year, in the midst of inflation, rising interest rates, war in Ukraine, and global warming, has been our family, friends, and the people around us. You have made our lives colorful, cheerful, and healthy, and we appreciate you from the bottoms of our hearts. #EveryDayIsABlessing
