Happy Thanksgiving!

 

The real estate market in our area has slowed a bit. This is not at all unusual for this time of year and often portends a really robust spring market. As a reminder, the "spring" in this sense means anything from late January to very early April. As surprising as this seems, we are often actually slowing back down again by May 1. So don't wait for the Azaleas! If you are thinking about a move in 2015, call us this fall/winter to get a strategy in place for after the first of the year. 

To help make getting ready for any move easier, we've got some great resources to share with you.

Giancarlo Dall'Orso, B B & D Moving GianCarlo has been part of our team for some time now but it always bears repeating that good movers can help before the sale with getting the house ready for the market by helping with the decluttering process - by moving extra items to other family members and/or second homes, and by arranging short term storage for the extra bits while we show the house. 571 233 7009, giancarlo@bbdmoving.com
