Welcome to the Summer Selling Season

With this being the Memorial Day weekend, can the end of school be far behind? Some colleges have already finished their spring terms, and many local schools are winding down as well.

This weekend also signals the unofficial start to summer. There’ll be picnics, cookouts, parades, ballgames, beach outings, and many other outdoor activities – in addition to the observances honoring our veterans.

Yes, the outdoor season is here.

So let’s use this time to stay open additional hours and take advantage of the daylight – and be available when people want to look for a new home.

Let’s focus on helping those families that want to be in their new home (and possibly a new school attendance area or district) before the start of the new school year in August or September.

Many schools will go ahead and let the children start in their new school with proof of a new address even if the home is not ready for occupancy or the family hasn’t completed their move when the new school term begins.

Welcome to the summer selling season. Get the iced tea and lemonade ready. We can do this.
