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.
Fall traditions
“As a child, and even with own children when they were young, we would rake giant mounds of fallen leaves into a pile and then jump into them. We’d cover ourselves with handfuls of crisp leaves and hide beneath the bundles. There is an earthy fragrance that remains in my mind today.”
Fave fall meal
“The Bridgehampton Inn is one of our go-to places in the fall for a menu full of warm comfort food. An evening with my wife and friends in front of the fireplace in this beautiful historic structure makes for a perfect evening.”
Tips for marketing and buying homes off-season
“The frenetic running around during peak season ends after Labor Day, and the serious buyers return ready to make a deal. Fall is often a time for negotiating, contracting and closing. It’s a good time for getting brokers’ attention and keeping inventory fresh in everyone’s mind.”
Fall to-do list around the house
“One of our greatest discoveries years ago was having all of our outdoor furniture gathered into one area of our property and having it shrink wrapped. It’s a brilliant concept and frees up other interior spaces for storage. Tip: Make certain that they include air vents to avoid moisture buildup.”
