Also published on the Huffington Post ~~~~~ Let’s dive in because I know you’re chomping at the bit to figure out how to handle this property frenzy.

August 17, 2017Multiple Offers, 2.0
August 09, 2017Also published on the Huffington Post Forgive me Huffington Post for I have sinned. It’s been a really long time since my last confession. It’s an indication of just how busy things have been in DC, in Real Estate, and in life. Nothing has equalized yet, party people. The insanity presented to buyers in the […]
Read MoreBe Aggressive! B-E-Aggressive!
May 10, 2017A little something I published on the Huffington Post today. This one is a total 180 from the tone of what I have written in the past.

Read MoreBut I’M (sob) NOT (yawn) TIRED!
April 27, 2017Here you go. Another expert parenting gem from my small bag of wisdom. I now attack bedtime with complete sarcasm.

April 24, 2017Me + Huff Post = a spankin good time. Enjoy. Here we are, party people.

Read MoreThe One Where the Police are Called
April 20, 2017It’s no secret that over the holidays I read 5 – 7 parenting books. I’ll tell anyone who will listen. I’ve been having a spat with someone in the Amazon comments for one of these books where I gave it a one-star review and they felt the need to school me on how to do […]
Read MoreThe Week of Chubs
March 31, 2017Having a two year old is like having your old senile Grandpa around. You never know what’s going to happen or what could be said next. Much like old Grandpa who says what he wants and either thinks “I’m so old I don’t care anymore” or, doesn’t really “think” anymore, Chubs has had a week […]

March 26, 2017Despite some annoying, face-hurting allergies, I managed to get out to take clients into houses over the weekend. Houses, many many interesting houses. The Sanctuary, a gorgeous church conversion in Northeast, a couple blocks south of the H Street Corridor is first. These are pictures from their Piece de la Resistance, the Penthouse Unit. Gorgeous […]

March 23, 2017Real Estate Dad’s trip couldn’t be avoided. Neither could my total loss of control. I know what you’re thinking. “They are 2 and 4, how bad can they be?” But then I’ll laugh. A long, maniacal laugh. The wrath of the terror twins knows no bounds. Hour 6 after Real Estate Dad’s departure, when we […]
