Locking Up
Sunday afternoon I got a call from someone interested in seeing a condo in Annapolis. They wanted to see my favorite condos. This was an opportunity to meet potential clients AND visit a few new units in my favorite Annapolis condos. We all arrive on time and head up the stairs to the third-floor unit. On the way up the stairs the buyers chat about their two dogs, fairly close to being puppies,…

It's Just Stuff, and a dog....and a cat.
It’s Just Stuff, and a dog….and a cat.
Remember that time last year when I thought I was going to sell my house? Yeah, well I didn’t. That’s a long story and I’m not getting into it. I’ll just say my son moved back home long enough for me to miss the spring and summer market. I decided to get a Golden Retriever puppy, because I’m a glutton for punishment. And now my yard looks like something straight out of the game Whack-A-Mole. One…

It's Not Business, It's Personal
It’s Not Business, It’s Personal
It’s a little early to celebrate Thanksgiving but being “thankful” is always in season. I’ve had a lot of things swirling around in my head that have needed to come out: my aunt is sick, my business has changed substantially this year, my son has graduated and moved out, lots of changes… Every experience can be looked back on as a lesson. I tend to collect clients as eventual friends and family.…

Life-No Matter What You Think
Life-No Matter What You Think
ÂÂÂÂI’m preparing my home for sale. I’m a seller. I’ve only done this one other time. I hate this. Everywhere I look in my house I see things that need to be “edited”, things long overdue for cleaning, and things that I wish I could just throw away. This is hell. My family moved into this house December of 2014. It was the house of our dreams, a 3-bedroom home with an office, two living spaces, a…

I have just spent the past 3 hours trying to design a newsletter for the sole purpose of attaching my blog. If anyone has read “If You Give A Pig A Pancake…” then you will understand the process I have just endured. I have so many things to write about right now but many are very personal and will probably need to trickle out as I learn to articulate them better. So, today is a random blog. I…

Well, the Koi Pond is Nice….
I have a good friend who has been on and off the fence about buying: No, we have decided to wait until spring….I think we’d like to see this house…What it really boils down to is they are keeping their eyes open for THE house. The perfect house that sings to their family’s heart. I get that, so we look at random houses at random times, and it doesn’t bother me because I love them. Today we went…

Structural Inspection by Gandalf, Today!
Structural Inspection by Gandalf, Today!
Meeting with a Structural Engineer to check out the integrity of my clients house of choice today….Meeting with a Structural Engineer is really a fascinating experience. The first time I went through one of these inspections I held my breath and waited for the house to fall down on top of us. The inspector carried around a long metal staff with the top end fashioned like a wine screw. It was…

Working Mother
Imagine: I’m on a conference call. We’re discussing the next move in a contract. My daughter walks into my office, realizes I’m talking on the phone, and starts to scribble this note to me… (Thankfully, she no longer tries talking to me without sound….or her version of sign language)
What? What does that mean? Doesn’t a volcano involve plaster of paris (whatever that is), a platform of some…

This morning started like every other…The oldest started knocking on my door at 0’Dark 30 asking if the carpool was going to pick him up….Why wouldn’t they pick you up? …Did you call them?…I don’t need to call them, they pick you up every morning…Should you take me to the bus stop?….You know there’s medication for this….Mama, am I going to miss the bus?…Turn on the front porch light and…

I’m sitting in my office, waiting. I’m waiting for the Second heating repair company to show up. I bought a home warranty with my property when we purchased our new home in November (or rather the sellers bought us a home warranty at our request). I had my first opportunity to use it yesterday when I was told by my 15 year old that there was water “all over the basement”.…

Beautiful 3BR/2.5 BA home in Deale Beach! Take a look, You might know someone looking for the sweet life in South County. Crabbing, kayaking, relaxing...what more could you ask for?
Taking the world in….
One loooong second at a time.  My family will roll their eyes when I say this but, I never realized how impatient I am.  Recently I had foot surgery.  I'm now forced to gimp around in a boot and everywhere I need to go takes forever to get there. Don't wait till the last second to go to the bathroom….there have been some close calls recently. Morning coffee is no joke. It's like something straight out of a cartoon, careening around the corner, chickens flying out of the way, my boot swinging out to the side, hopping on my one good leg, flinging the bathroom door open, who cares if I close it, the damn cat will open it anyway…you get the idea.
I've tried to make my slow hobble into a Zen learning experience…"Aren't those nice flowers….Hm, still pretty flowers... I wonder if they made a pattern out of them?….No, no pattern...I really don't like pansies. Pansies die so quickly in the heat…..If this takes much longer the damn flowers are going to be dead before I get into the damn building." It's not working out so well.
Move-in ready 3 BR, 2 BA home in lovely Accokeek! HUGE Backyard w/ Privacy fence, BEAUTIFUL landscaping, and a LARGE patio for entertaining. LARGE Kitchen, nice sized rooms, and attached Mstr BA, Separate LAUNDRY RM. CENTRALLY LOCATED right off of 210. Lots of shopping close by! 1 YR HOME WARRANTY!
Spring Fever
The snow has stopped, the birds are twittering (at an ungodly hour), the plants are blooming, and we all have spring fever! I love it! I’ve spent time talking to my plants…. and the weeds. I tell them how wonderful they look….or their days are numbered. I tell very few that the others are doing much better but I know they are working hard and will catch up. I have faith. This is a ritual I do every spring and I haven’t been disappointed yet.
Spring fever has hit the real estate market as well and I am soaking up every second. I want to work-all the time. I’m making a bad habit of checking emails, sending replies, and doing little bits of paperwork late at night. I shouldn’t be doing it but I WANT TO. It truly is a fever. I am driving my husband crazy with marketing ideas. He cares, but not really, not this much, or not anymore. He’s willing to slap any logo on his body just to get me to stop talking about it. Well that’s all the encouragement I needed….
 Look for it, coming soon…some form of wearable article with GetMaggie.com on it…maybe a hat….or perhaps a shirt….I’ll go ask my husband ;-)
Yeah! I got my tax refund…and now it's gone.
I know I should set everything up so the government isn't making interest on my money so lets just get that argument out of the way first thing.  We aren't doing it the right way.  Sure. We'll do better next time. I promise.  But now that I've said that, lets talk about 2013's refund check. It's like winning a little lottery, of our own money.  Do we want a big screen TV- no. Do we want to take some kind of vacation…no. Do we want to save  money for a rainy day...no. (I know there's some serious head scratching going on right about now) We want to pay off our son's braces. We want to set aside an emergency fund (especially after the tire slashing episode), we want to pay off the last time I had dental work (it happens more often than I would like).  We want…some extra breathing room.  Things have been getting kind of snug around here and the thought that Sam could be driving in a year (boys car insurance, who Hasn't heard that horror story?!), graduating in 3 years, college just after...That was a wake up call that hit me some time last month and I'm still feeling the effects.Â
Step 1- Emergency fund, Step 2- Get out of debt. Step 3- Make sure we have enough money to retire on. Step 4- technically a floating step- make sure my children are paying attention during step's 1-4 so they don't make the same mistakes we did.
Piece of cake...
Trouble Comes In 3's
1) Last Thursday we lost the neighbor to a house fire. 2) Saturday morning a tire slashing punk took out 14 tires in the neighborhood, tagging both of ours. 3) Last night we realized the water leak in the upstairs bathroom is still not resolved. There it is, all 3 identified. Done.
