Olympics, Love and Real Estate

Happy February, my esteemed colleagues, clients, and friends,

This is a month of the Olympics and celebrating our local athletes who have aspired and trained many years and decades to be there. We are excited to promote and support their time and effort for this achievement.

This is also the month of celebrating love. So I wanted to start with that and tell you how much we enjoy having you all in our lives. The stories you have told and the experiences we have shared over the past (almost) 2 decades has truly changed my life and it has been an honor to get to know you all.

The real estate front is quietly moving and I am expecting that if this beautiful weather holds we will see an early start to our listing season. My gut is telling me a bit differently though, because in years past where we have a huge storm in December and a very Dry January, we have been pounded by snow starting at the end of February and well through May. If I’m right.. we can drink a beer together on the slopes. If I’m wrong, plan on seeing properties come on early and launching into summer with a slew of real estate activity.

Regardless, here’s to our Olympians! Here’s to Love and Cheers to a great 2022.

Kind Regards

David Gemme
