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.
Speaking of May flowers, my favorite local plant nurseries and flower shops.
“My go-to establishments are Marders for larger, outdoor potted plant materials, gardenias and such; Fowler’s Garden Center for smaller annual plants, fillers and potting soil, and Topiaire Flower Shop for indoor orchids and arrangements.”
Top real estate questions and requests that people are asking as we head into season.
“Many people ask about inventory (which I addressed in my introduction). Our market remains strong with a buyer pool waiting for new inventory and plentiful supply that improves around this time of year when we brokers suggest listing properties.”
In response to a recent story in The New York Times about the fierce competition for personal chefs in the Hamptons, my tips for whom to call when everyone’s booked.
“Not everyone is booked, and there are several individuals who source private chefs who are part of my network. DM me.”
The coolest home amenity I’ve seen recently.
“I am impressed with the underground caves that can be delivered in a prefabricated form and dropped into a hole in the ground to be customized by the individual homeowner.”
