 Calling all Builders here is a rare opportunity to build in an established neighborhood called Echo Beach.  This is a Riverfront community and in my professional opinion an up-and-coming community. A short walk from the River you can walk to the dock and down to the river. The Yacht Club is your neighbor and the new condo development Waterside is being built nearby on the waterfront.   Echo Beach remains to be an established community by the Delaware River where families seem to come and go for generations from generations. A place to call home. Where everyone waves and says 'Hello' and smiles so rare in today's world of chaos.   Please watch this video about Echo Beach and Enjoy   06/15/2021

Let's talk about Echo Beach a small Single Home Community in Bensalem Pa along the Delaware River. You will find houses of all sizes and shapes old and new. It is next to the Yacht club and also close to the Waterside development Many people do not even know that  Echo Beach is there even though there is a sign that says Echo Beach  Echo Beach is a very old community but in my professional opinion a very up-and-coming community. Each street you drive up is different than the next. Every house has its own character. Everyone waves to you and says's "Hello how are you" Such a friendly place to live.  Something rare to find in today's world.   There is a special charm about this place called Echo Beach. Maybe it is because it is so close to the Delaware River. It seems to have a magical fe... 06/10/2021

 This post is inspired by my friend Endre Barath, Jr., and the stories he tells of coming to the United States of America. Well to tell the truth I was born and raised right here in the USA. In fact, I was raised in Philadelphia Pa home of the Liberty Bell and where Betsy Ross made the American Flag. Let me not forget to mention this is where the Declaration of Independence was signed.    Let me tell you what my father and I would talk about around the kitchen table. I would say Dad what nationality are we? He would always answer " We are Americans " I would ask again No Daddy some kids at school are Italian and others are German than there are Irish what are we?  He would always answer the same way "WE ARE AMERICANS "   No, let us all be truthful no one except for the American Indians ... 05/30/2021

 Today was the first day  I venture shopping for fruit veggies and flowers in a year. I had just re-potted a few of my orchids and to my surprise, the roots were so healthy and the plants were very happy with the repotting. It was a beautiful day.  I decided to travel to Produce Junction in Bensalem Pa where I had purchased my orchids before. They always have a great selection of flowers and plants also nuts, fruits, and veggies, and amazing prices - also eggs   When I parked there were flowers galore all over outside for outdoor planting. Living in a condo I did not stop to admire as I was on a mission. I was looking for Orchids.   Inside there was an array of gorgeous bunches of flowers. They were breathtaking and so colorful. I reached for my camera to shoot some pictures. I realized... 04/21/2021

 Thinking back on my first home purchase. I was not a Realtor. My close friend was going through a divorce. She was going to sell her cute row house close to both our parents. I was just 1973 I was  married with a gorgeous two year old daughter Johanna. The house was $21,000 both our parents helped us with the $1,000 each and we had some money saved. My husband worked at an attorney office who took care of everything.  Six years later there was now a nine month brother Eric and we decided to move. We now had a considerable amount of equity in the house. The interest however were very high around 18%. I did find a very nice lady Realtor. She worked for Fox & Lazo (now Berkshire Hathaway) She found a cash buyer right away for top dollar. I respect her even more thinking back as I wanted t... 06/13/2019

Picked up some baby red potatoes when I spotted this woman with an unusually beautiful plant. I was so taken with the color.

Irv Geller would come in the speak to Jack Lentz my Broker to talk about appraisals. They would get into heated agreements. I would listen to them and learn. One would say what is the difference I gave value all they had to do was repairs. The other would bellow it wasn't worth what they sold it for I cut the value no repairs. These talks would go on and on.  Later I moved to ReMax. When I had Irv as an appraiser it was like getting your father as an appraiser. There were never any worries. ... 01/31/2019

 I am thankful for AMC $5 Tuesday movies .  I enjoy going to the movies but don't always make the time . Knowing that on Tuesday I can see any movie I want for $5.00 motivates me to make the time .  One of my friends said you have to be a senior to go on Tuesday to see a $5 movie . I assured her she was wrong . It is $5.00 for everyone to see first run movies . All you need is an AMC movie card which is free .   There may be a day where I need to relax by myself . There be a Tuesday afternoon where my friends and I have lunch and get to see a movie that would have cost us twice as much any-other day of the week .  My favorite movie theater has the  reclining seats .
