Editor’s Letter

When the market is in transition, the value of quality advice is more important than ever, particularly when it comes to real estate.

Today’s shifting market is one that requires an experienced agent who can properly navigate the changing conditions with expert marketing techniques and data collection, perspective, composure and support. During times of uncertainty, consumers gravitate to agents with formidable reputations, as well as to companies they trust.

In this transition from a seller’s market to a more balanced market, sellers must have an agent who will expertly market the property, casting the widest possible net for potential buyers to bring the highest possible return on their investment. Allow me to be that agent for you. Please reach out to me today; in this business, experience matters!

While we have a busy year ahead, I’m thrilled to be back on a more “normal” production cycle for our print issues. We did the December and January issues back-to-back – including choosing our annual 20 Under 20 honorees featured in this issue – so I actually feel like I can take a breather.

I had a very quiet holiday, catching up on some binge-worthy shows (“Wednesday” on Netflix is amazing!), catching up with friends, and working on my next poetry collection, which is out this fall.

Since we don’t like to cook, my friends and I had Thanksgiving dinner at Hobnob in Atlantic Station (delicious!), and for a little kitsch/nostalgia, we rocked around the Christmas tree for lunch at Hard Rock Café on Christmas Day. Definitely not your typical holiday, but I like that. Happy New Year and on with the show!
