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.
You waited until now to rent a summer house. Plan of attack.
“There is some very good inventory which remains available. The lease terms have tended to be shorter term as a trend: one month or two weeks. Many owners are anxious and flexible; target those.”
My top three list for how to sell a home quickly and smoothly.
“Hire the best broker with a deep history, extensive knowledge and success in the market who will assist you in getting a handle on the market and pricing. A clean and decluttered presentation is best and valued by the buyer pool. Check to be certain that legal ends are tied up with surveys, closed building permits and updated certificate of occupancy.”
How I plan to pamper my wife on Mother’s Day.
“My wife and I will be at our Newport house and will spend most of the day with our grandchildren, who spoil her best with their attention.”
My favorite Memorial Day weekend event/tradition.
“Weather permitting, I will be on the water with friends and family, and likely having lunch at one of our favorites, Duryea’s, Orient Point.”
