As a real estate Attorney, I assist clients who are buying or selling houses. But the best part of my practice is knowing that I have helped clients find new homes. Home. It is a very comforting word. It connotes safety and memories to be made and memories to savor and a place to be yourself. Home is where you can express your tastes and style and relax and relish in the vision you have created. Home is family and friends and a place to just be. I was recently in a gift shop and discovered a plaque which read: "A house is made of bricks and beams, a home is made of hopes and dreams." My goal is to always help make those hopes and dreams a reality for our clients. Whether you are selling the family home because you are downsizing or moving into a retirement community, or you are buying your very first home, or you are buying a larger home, or you are purchasing a new home due to a work relation, my office is available to help make the transaction progress smoothly. Because you have a home to create and home is where your next story begins.
