Buying a House with 0% Down

Buying a House with 0% Down

Welcome! And thanks to The Pawling Record for including this new column in our local paper. No matter where I go, when people find out I’m a realtor, they always have some sort of question: How’s the market? When is the busiest time of year? What is a short sale? How much money do I have to put down on a mortgage? Etc., etc., etc. I’ve become a sort of “Ann Landers” of Real Estate. Today, the general public still embraces the thought of owning their own home. There are a lot

Apps and Searches for Summer

Because it’s summer – at last! – as always, there are apps for phones and tablets to help get to the fun of it. Weather Forecasts You can find apps for the weather, but they are built in to most phones and tablets. Around our house, we’ve taken to asking the robots for it. “Alexa, weather” (or, “hey Google”) will get the current temperature and conditions and the forecast for the next 12 hours. I like to know what my nemesis relative humidity is up to, so I ask, “Alexa, humid

Bug Spray and Sunscreen – Safety First

If you spend time enjoying nature during any season other than the middle of winter, and prefer to avoid painful sunburn as well as repel ticks, mosquitoes (or any other small insect), there are some “natural” ways to accomplish these goals. Reading about experience with a wide variety of sprays, creams, and gels is a complex endeavor for those who choose to avoid toxic products. Labels beyond the “advertisement” pictures disclose lots of information in the form of tiny writi

You Say Clematis and I Say Clem-ah-tis

You Say Clematis and I Say Clem-ah-tis

Clematis is a versatile vining plant that comes in many sizes and colors. Monty Don, the British gardening personality, says, “Everyone loves clematis. To dislike clematis as a matter of principle would take a degree of perversity of the same order as disliking grass, trees or coffee ice cream. If you have a wall or fence, a decent-sized container or a patch of border, then you have room for at least one. In general, they are easy to grow, generous in flower and a cheerful ad

Nutrition Advice from Your Pawling Hannaford Dietitian Happy Summer! As I write this article, I’m blessed to be viewing the beautiful morning sea from my Aunt and Uncle’s home on Block Island. (If you have never been to BI, I highly suggest it!) It wouldn’t be my style to eat out every night during my visit here, but cooking away from home can be difficult. Add to it that when we travel, we generally want foods that can easily come along to the beach, on hike, or be enjoyed b
