Buying and renovating a home is really like being on a roller coaster ride. I think this series is doing a pretty great job at explaining the realities of what it takes. And how important it is to read and understand the contracts you sign...seriously. https://ny.curbed.com//renovation-diary-ridgewood-queens-c

I thought the analogy of the remodeling process is like going to the dermatologist was pretty clever and so true. 'We learned that bringing through contractors is a little like going to the dermatologist: You probably want to talk about pimples or wrinkles, but she needs to talk to you about melanoma first.' https://ny.curbed.com//home-renovation-contractor-ridgewoo

So many kernels of wisdom here. Except for one of my clients (who bought a brand new construction) everyone has wanted to do some level of renovation to their home. Having a dedicated and competent team makes ALL the difference- #truth. https://ny.curbed.com//home-renovation-architect-ridgewood

OPEN HOUSE TODAY. Hey everyone, come by my open house today from 2-5pm for a cookie, a good time, and a sunny lanai from which to breathe in the fresh salt air and beautiful view of the Pacific. I'll be expectin' ya (or pleasantly surprised).

I am so glad Curbed has resurrected their Renovation Diary series. Seriously entertaining (to me anyway) and helpful. https://ny.curbed.com//home-buying-renovation-ridgewood-qu

I wish I could give you all a tour of this place. This home just has too many awesome things to list in a Zillow listing. I have done my fair share of moving and can honestly say that this was one of the most amazing houses I had the opportunity to live in. It wasn't the 9 acres of land, horse stables, walking paths, 4772 sqft of mid-century design or the pool (well, the pool is pretty awesome) it is the history of this place I found most interesting (but that's just me). This house has evolved from one the original homesteads in Oregon (you can see part of the original home on the 31st picture in the Zillow link) is ready for a new owner(s). So, are you ready to move to the original Niketown (Eugene, OR) and want to own a piece of history....give me a call. https://www.zillow.com//3300-Hawkins-Ln,-Eugene,-OR-97405/
