Have Suitcase, will sell homes! I am a traveling Saleswoman!

Hello!

I apologize for the long silence!

It has been a busy Spring and Summer. Rather than go back to the past couple of months, during which I have been busy with both buyers and sellers, I want to share that last week I went to New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, DC.

The original trip was planned around a family wedding in Philadelphia. First, I stopped in NYC to visit my mother and my sister Carol Kane. Here is a photo of us at the Maison Kayser on Broadway with the brilliant Eugene Pack, creator of Celebrity Autobiography! Carol was about to go to the Hamptons to do a benefit show with Gene, then start filming the second season of " Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt". ( If you haven't seen it, do catch it on Netflix. It is hilarious!)



In both NYC and in DC, I have clients who need to sell homes. Through the wonderful network of Coldwell Banker, I found great agents for them! I went to an apartment on Madison Avenue with a colleague, Robby Brown, at the Corcoran Group,to make an initial assessment while I was in NYC. Robby is a top producer and rides every where on his bike! We will be collaborating with a client who wants to sell on the East Side and move to the Upper West Side.

After a spectacular family wedding in Philadelphia, where we saw cousins, uncles and aunts from all over the US,


I took the train down to Washington DC and had dinner at the  "Diplomate" restaurant with my dear friends and clients; Karen Cogswell is in the process of buying a home in Santa Cruz, and my other client will be selling in Friendship Heights.  I stayed with her and we met with Brad Griffin, a great Coldwell Banker agent, to list her home. Brad has sold homes for other clients before and he does great work.

Brad and I came up with a " punch list" for prepping the house and on my second day, I worked with my client and shopped for materials to help. What an honor that my clients feel such trust and confidence.

Here is a picture of me on the back porch of the Friendship Heights home, enjoying dinner with my friend and her dog!

Yesterday, I met with clients in Soquel to prepare their home for the market. Then got on the phone to find a realtor in East Hampton for a client there! I also interviewed a Realtor in the Gold Country!

If you are thinking of selling, anywhere, please contact me. I can help you interview realtors and find the best one for your project. It is wonderful to discover competent, ethical and hard working colleagues all over the world, and I can help you by being your advocate as well. 

Have a great Fall!
