Since people are always asking me about real estate and lifestyle matters, we introduced a light and fun monthly Q&A about all sorts of topics.
My suggestions for holiday décor services and where to buy Christmas trees, wreaths and garlands.
“Topiaire on Jobs Lane in Southampton installs wreaths on our home and entry stone pillars and strings white lights on our dock’s tree. Fowler’s Garden Center and Marders are the two most frequented sources for holiday greenery.”
Since demand for turnkey residences has increased, what are some upgrades that I can make to my house during the off season if I plan to list my home in summer?
“Fresh paint, tidied interiors and a junk free basement hugely improve spaces. If there is a budget for making an investment, I would suggest a facelift to the kitchen, overhauling bathrooms and modernizing interior lighting.”
My favorite holiday traditions in the East End.
“The lighting of Christmas trees throughout the region is a favorite for all, and we often see many folks making an evening of it with shopping locally for holiday gifts or just a dinner out enjoying some of the fine menus and quality service.”
My tips on where to have Christmas dinner and celebrate New Year’s Eve in the East End.
“Ideally, Christmas dinner is best served at home with friends and family gathered around a table and a menu that frankly doesn’t even matter. Being together and enjoying the last days of the year while planning for 2026 is a time in which to look forward.”
