March 2023 in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Westchester with Stephanie Olivero

Dear Clients, Colleagues, and Friends...

Hooray for the arrival of Spring... 

As the weather warms up, I'm a big fan of "day in the life" events, whether you are happy with where you live right now or are curious about other options.  Select a town or neighborhood to experience your life for the day.  Plan a Saturday agenda, to include a fun spot for breakfast, a workout class, a walk or hike... shop, explore, and observe the community... how does it feel to you? Chat with locals. Does it excite you to think of living here? If so, perhaps it's time to explore real estate in the area. 

The market is active, with great opportunities for both buyers and sellers in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Westchester county... reach me anytime to discuss what this means for you and your real estate goals.

“An easy upgrade, which can transform a space, is a wall mural or wallpaper." A great option is Tempaper, a low commitment, self-adhesive, removable wallpaper.
