Giving thanks for our clients

With the short holiday work week, today is like Thursday, so we’re giving early thanks to the most important people in our world: our clients. Thank you for sharing your real estate journeys with us!

CHIC (Pearl)

Did you know the first Thanksgiving lasted for three days? Imagine three straight days of Thanksgiving dinners, leftovers, and heartburn! Now imagine what it would be like to have no Thanksgiving dinner at all. Together, we can help all of our friends and neighbors have a happier holiday season by making a donation to a local food bank or volunteering in a community kitchen.

GEEK (Kevin)

Did you know that Thanksgiving is commonly considered the origin of the “TV Dinner”? According to legend, the Swanson company had a bunch of frozen turkeys leftover from Turkey Day in 1953, so they packaged them up with veggies and sold them as individual meals. Of course, that’s not what really happened, according to the Smithsonian. But the truth isn’t as fun.

Breaking bread

This one goes out to the home bakers on National Homemade Bread Day. The Geek has been making his own bread for years, and the rest of us are just starting to catch on. Baking at home is cheaper, healthier, and more fun. Want to learn more? Drop us a note.

Catch a buzz!

In honor of National Coffee Day today and International Coffee Day on Sunday, we’ll send you a bag of the Geek’s home-engineered coffee beans when you refer your friends or family to us. Just another way we treat clients like family!

And if you’re one of the two thirds of Americans who drink coffee daily, you’ll probably be hunting for a free cup of java in honor of National Coffee Day. USA Today has the lowdown on where to go, and which countries drink the most coffee around the world.

It’s never too early for Oktoberfest!

If your neighbor can hang Christmas lights in August, then we can start talking about beers and brats in September. Yes, Oktoberfest is back! And The Six Fifty has a user manual for how to celebrate all month long on the Peninsula.

Labor Day Weekend Tips

Are you ready for the big three-day weekend that signals the beginning of the end of summer? Here are some tips for things to do, recipes to try, and drinks to mix. Let us know if you try any of these and how it turns out!

Speaking of Labor Day, there’s nothing like a cool treat on a long, hot weekend. Just in time, the Mountain View Voice curated this list of the top 10 spots to grab an ice cream on the Peninsula. And they’re serving a lot more than chocolate and vanilla!
