Crazy Until It's Not

I am very excited that today another donation was made to New Story Charity in honor of my clients. I donate a portion of every buy/sell commission to this innovative organization that builds homes and communities in Haiti, El Salvador, and Mexico using local labor and materials for a cost of approximately $4000 per home! Please consider this charity for your end-of-year charitable giving!

New Story Charity

There are many reasons that New Story Charity is my favorite... innovation is just another way this organization is helping improve lives all over the world. They are working with a tech company to be able to produce a 3D print home in less than 24 hours for just $4000 each! A safe, clean shelter goes a long way in helping impoverished families improve their health and future. I donate a portion of earnings from every home I help clients buy or sell to New Story Charity. I love knowing that helping clients with their housing in Virginia is going to also help build a home for another family in El Salvador.

Please consider New Story Charity as a recipient for your charitable donations this year.

An innovation 1 year in the making, we’re thrilled to unveil the first ever permitted 3D printed home. In partnership with our friends ICON, this printer was created specifically for the world’s poorest. Impacting the world requires bold risks and this is the first of many.

There is nothing wrong with your house

This is an interesting take on home remodeling. Working in the housing field and in the home improvement field, I appreciate the need to keep a home competitive with surrounding properties and also what buyers are looking for in a home. In addition, homeowners should make a home for themselves in which they feel comfortable.

But I also see many perfectly good elements of a home ripped out and replaced and I think it’s important for a homeowner to reflect on what is motivating their desire to complete a remodel.

National Association of REALTORS®

The steadily improving U.S economy, sustained job growth, and rising confidence that now is a good time to buy a home should pave the way for an increase in existing-home sales in 2018, but continued supply shortages, and passage of a tax bill that disincentives homeownership, threaten to handcuff what should be stronger activity. That is according to a residential housing and economic forecast session here at the 2017 REALTORS® Conference & Expo. http://bit.ly/2yqRvrH
