With each new season comes maintenance tasks to complete to keep your home in tip top shape! Here’s a reminder of things you will want to check on this fall. 🍁🍂

Did you know that fall is actually a great time to plant? Kate here 👋🏻, and this fall I’m working on a new pollinator garden in my yard. Watermark Woods - Native Plants in Hamilton is a great place to go to get native plants! I’m excited to try some new things and hopefully have a beautiful blooming spot in my yard next summer. Are you planting anything this season?

It’s the first day of fall! What are you looking forward to this season? We’re excited for fall foliage, pumpkin patches, and sweatshirt weather! 🍂 🍁

We have an important ask from our community today! Our office is hosting an event to benefit LBHN - Loudoun Breast Health Network in November. We held this event in 2019 and it was very successful, but it hasn’t happened since then due to the pandemic. We are looking for donations to be auctioned off at the event! If you have a business or connections to a business, we are looking for goods and services that can be donated towards this very worthy cause. Please reach out if that’s you! Thank you so much for considering and helping us spread the word, and mark your calendars for November 17! 💗
