Marching into April with Meg Smith and Associates

Marching Into April with Meg Smith and Associates......

     Birds chirping, flowers blooming, buyers shopping!  These are three reasons that the office of Meg Smith and Associates loves Marching into April with you!

     There is no doubt that in searching for a home, you must search all four seasons so you don't miss out on the perfect house for you, but statistics show that home sales are always at their highest in the spring.  There are several reasons for this, none of which surprise us.

     First, the sun shining and the smell of the green grass just on the rise makes your first step out of the door say "home".  Those who envision buying a home can't wait to design their own landscaping, plant their own flowers, and even mow their very own grass.  The curb appeal of a property in full bloom always feels so welcoming.

     Homeowners looking to sell their homes take great pride in the work that they have grown with love over the years.  That is why some sellers wait for this time to put their homes on the market, they know that their efforts will show!  The beauty of the landscape design that was covered in snow just a few weeks earlier will finally greet all visitors, and the blooming of the flowers that have been hidden away beneath the frost will come alive with color that fills the picturesque view of this home for all to see.

     Spring is also the time of re-organization for a home.  Many people refer to it as "spring cleaning", so when you shop for a home in the spring you are probably seeing a more organized home, because you are witnessing the hard work of the homeowner during the reorganization of closets and storage space they have just completed in their own spring cleaning.

   Lastly, Spring reminds us that summer is just around the corner.  This is the time that children are out of school, and also the time that making a move is timely for a family looking to relocate.  That is why shopping in the spring to plan to move in the summer is always a busy time for us.

     We at Meg Smith and Associates fully enjoyed climbing the snow mounds with you this winter to find you your perfect home, but we stand anxious and ready to take off the snow boots, and March with you into Spring..where beautiful homes await us!

The Team "Spirit" of Meg Smith and Associates!

Meg Smith and Associates is truly blessed to have been visited by the very amazing Theresa Caputo, Long Island Medium just a few short months ago, and tomorrow night, Sunday, March 16th at 9:00 p.m. it will air on TLC.

Our Team "Spirit" had never been quite as forthcoming as it was on this particular day.  Our office is truly a second home to all of the agents.  A place where we find not only business and growth, but friendship and support.  Our agents have been there with one another through some difficult loss's of loved ones over the years and Meg Smith thought it would be a beautiful idea to heal the hearts of her staff and colleagues.  Meg emailed Theresa, shared her story, and here we are...being visited by the one and only Theresa Caputo.

As we entered our office we all had fears, hopes, expectations of what might take place.  One of the first words said was from Meg's Mother in Law when she shared that she wore the watch of her husband who passed in the hope that he would come through.  There were no camera's, no people, and certainly no Theresa there at the time.  So imagine the surprise of the office when the first thing that Theresa said was "Who is wearing the watch of their husband?"  From that point on, we sat straight up, and we listened, and we hoped and we learned.

The night went on with amazing accuracy.  Some hearts were mended and others were opened to believe in something they never could have imagined.  One of the messages that came forth was that of one of the agents fathers, who passed from cancer.  The whole office knew him as his fundraiser was held months prior in this exact location.  When this precious man passed, Meg Smith and Associates bought a tree in his honor, and around that tree sat little heart shaped rocks, collected by his grandson.  To our surprise Theresa asked "Who bought the tree?" and it was something the whole office was present for.  She knew of the heart shaped rocks.  She knew of the reason for that tree.  Infact, she knew and was able to touch on something from every single person in that office, and actually our office learned a few things too about one another.

We would love to share our "spirit" with you, and hope that you will tune in Sunday March 19th, 9:00 p.m. to see our "Team Spirit"!
