House of the Week: Living History in "Everyone's Home Town"

We're back! After a long hiatus, during which I completed my first flip house in the Wissahickon neighborhood (recap post coming soon!) and made a baby, I'm back and dedicating myself back to this blog!

I'm still very much in favor of delivering my own content, but with the demands of clients and a new kiddo, you'll also see some shared content and guest posts on here too.

But on to the good stuff...

To roll out the red carpet on The Little Realtor, I'm doing a month of nothing but home design, decor, & tips and tricks, either just for fun or to get your home ready for the Spring market. But, to start, I'm bringing back "House of the Week" with a charming, albeit more expensive, Victorian single in Media!

----

Media Boro, often called "Everyone's Home Town" is a quaint mecca of Victorian homes, 1920s bungalows and the ever-popular walkable lifestyle with a plethora of restaurants, shops and even a Trader Joes! Its rare to find a home there that combines all of that, the charm of a historical property AND modern amenities but 426 N Jackson St seems to combine it all!

426 N Jackson St, Media, PA 19063 - $650,000

5 beds, 2 full baths, 2830 estimated square feet

Additional perks: Front porch AND sunroom, large laundry room, stained glass windows,
built-in bookcases, and can be converted to a duplex if you are looking for rental income!

Open House Tues, April 2nd, 12-2 (for agent-represented buyers only)

Breaking Down the Commission Headlines and the NAR Settlement

The news right now around real estate is ripe with "The 6% Commission is Dead" or how buying and selling real estate is about to become a whole lot cheaper. Sounds tantalizing, right? Because often news is sensationalism and this one is no different. Did something actually change? Yes, a little. NAR (the National Association of Realtors - the trade organization that makes a real estate agent a 'Realtor' by a separate code of ethics and educational criteria) settled a case that brought about a few, minor changes. 1. It eliminated any requirement that listing brokers or sellers must make offers of compensation to buyers brokers. 2. It prohibits sellers and their agents from making offers of compensation on the MLS and disclosing any compensation and requires the elimination of all compensation fields on the MLS. 3. It requires MLS members working with buyers to enter into written agreements with those buyers. So what changed? Not much....

Stress-Free Winter Cocktails

Its holiday party season and that means contributing to gatherings, either as a guest or host! One of my favorite ways to join pot lucks or show up to a party is with a big-batch cocktail. They are also great for intimate parties that you want to add a signature spin to the menu. Here are some of my favorite options for winter cocktails: Photo by Olena Sergienko on Unsplash Apple Juice Cocktail If you are a previous client of mine, you should have gotten an apple juice with a cocktail recipe for Thanksgiving! That recipe is GREAT for an easy, refreshing but cold weather cocktail I also love this simple recipe because you could easily switch liquors. Rum and apple or tequila and apple (with a little agave, of course) would work well too! Mulled Wine , aka Gluhwein This is a simple, smells-great way to make your home feel like the holidays Swedish Glogg Basically mulled wine, but with more nuts and more alcohol! Photo by Frank Z...
