Featured Realtor: After Years in Telecom Sales, Beth Fitzgerald is Following Her Passion as a Realtor

By Joanna England / February 10, 2014 /

Beth Fitzgerald is down to earth, and that’s what we love about her. After retiring from AT&T and becoming a Realtor just when the bottom dropped out of the market in 2008, Fitzgerald has used her optimism and no-bones-about-it attitude to serve her clients, and the many clients that are referred to her. She’s just that amazing and easy to talk to.

According to the NAR, first-time homebuyers typically make up about 40 percent of the market, but several factors are keeping them from purchasing a home, including higher competition for lower priced properties, which are being swept up by investors at increasingly high rates.

Friday Four Hundred: Looks Can be Deceiving, Especially With This Inwood North Traditional

By Joanna England / January 24, 2014 /

Talk about unexpected! From the outside, I’d think 4910 Harvest Hill Road to be sedate and traditional, with some cream and blue upholstery, understated draperies, and maybe a kitchen with some white cabinets and a rather plain countertop.
