how’s the market? The market is continuing its typical fall season slow down. Interest rates moving up have helped get some people off of the fence. I expect the rest of the year to continue in the same path it typically does. All indications are showing we will have continued success in 2019. It’s a sellers’ market in the bottom 2/3rds of the market and a buyers’ market in the top 1/3rd. Tell us about your situation, and let’s create a plan for success with you!

what’s been up

With the Gusty Gulas Group Wine Dinner for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation  The G3 Team got together in support of team member Stacy and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. This particular event hit close to home because of Stacy’s daughter, Mary-Chandler, who has cystic fibrosis. Every year, a group of young professionals are chosen to help raise money through various ways to combat this disease. And the owners of Gianmarco’s were more than happy to let us use their event space for a fabulous wine dinner to help raise funds.

rave Reviews Check out what my happy customers have to say about their experience! “She showed me several houses and was great to work with. She knows her stuff! We told her what we were looking for in a house and she showed us several that fit our parameters. Will definitely work with her again!”

“Stacy demonstrated knowledge of the market, focused on our needs and wants, and guided us into the perfect home. Throughout the process from house-hunting to negotiations to closing, Stacy proved to be energetic, responsive, and highly professional. I would recommend using Stacy for your future real estate needs.”

“We had the most positive experience with Stacy and her team. We have bought and sold many houses and the sale with Stacy was definitely the smoothest, fastest and easiest we’ve had. They have a team dedicated to assist you in each phase of the process. Having so many professionals on your side makes for an awesome experience! I cannot recommend Stacy enough!”

November 22: Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is almost upon us. Thanksgiving is a day that everyone looks forward to, but it should not just be celebrated once a year; it should be celebrated every day. We should be thankful of all of the blessings we receive. We must learn how to appreciate what we have and not focus on what we don’t have. Every morning we wake up is an opportunity to embrace life and to show gratitude for the opportunity to do so. Take this time to connect to the people and family in your life and show your appreciation. Have a magical Thanksgiving!

The SOUTH FAMILY

The South’s had their Meadowbrook home listed with another agency for a while without any luck selling it.

Congratulations to the South family!
