WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT

Sara Driscoll

“

Sara and Daryl provided unparalleled expertise f rom start to f inish with the recent sale of my home. They are experienced, highly principled professionals at the top of their f ield, as well as warm, sincere individuals who truly care about their clients. Sara was immediately responsive to my questions, always in communication and handled every negotiation with skill and f inesse. I truly can’t imagine a better home-selling experience. These are the people you want in your corner.

- Cheri R.

Anyone who works with Sara Driscoll will quickly realize that beyond the high talent, tremendous experience, incredible knowledge, and f riendly personality ... that nobody is better at communication. her game.

She is amazingly responsive, organized, and always on top of

While Sara & Daryl bring the whole package to the table, our biggest draw and

appreciation is the organization and communication. It is a very comforting feeling knowing that Sara will take care of everything and guide us through any paperwork / logistics that come along.

- Rance M.

When it came time to sell our home in RB I went in search of a quality Realtor. I did the usual search via internet and found tons. Out of all of them I found Sara and Daryl to be the best of everything you look for in a Realtor. After meeting with them we were immediately impressed with their professionalism and knowledge of our neighborhood. Sara has that passion for her work that you look for in a person when you’re about to hand over your largest asset to list, market and sell. We give a tip of our hats to Sara and Daryl for a top notch job.

- Kevin W. When I sold my home, Sara was always there for me, returning calls and responding promptly, ready to reassure me and keep me informed. I had 9 great offers in less than 7 days (including 2 back-up offers that matched the offer I accepted). With years in the business, it quickly became apparent that Sara knew what she was talking about. She was right on the money on what she anticipated the selling price would be and how quickly it would sell. She anticipated issues before they became problems. She listened to me, yet was always there to back me up. This lady is a pro. She was more than an agent, she quickly became a f riend.

Trust me - this is the agent you want on your team!

- Linda B.

Why a Move Could Bring You

More Happiness This Year

26

O

ver the past two years, we’ve lived through one of the most stressful periods in recent history. Because of the health crisis, many of us have spent more time at home and that’s led us to re-evaluate both what we need in a house and how much we appreciate having a safe space. If you’ve

There’s reason to believe a change of scenery could boost your happiness. Catherine Hartley, an Assistant Professor at New York University’s Department of Psychology and co-author of a study on how new experiences impact happiness, says:

“Our results suggest that people feel happier when they have more variety in their daily routines— when they go to novel places and have a wider array of experiences.”

A move could be exactly the new experience you’ve been looking for. If that’s something you’re considering to better your lifestyle, here are a few things to keep in mind.

Buying and selling a home is a major life change, and it’s not a decision you should enter lightly. But, if you’re questioning whether or not a move would bring you more happiness, it’s important to explore if it’s the right choice for you. to a local real estate professional. They’ll explain the process – including how to list your existing house and search for a new one – in clear and simple terms.

Home features aren’t the only thing to consider. You should also weigh your options when it comes to location. Is the weather something that’s important to you? Does it have a tendency to impact your mood? If it does, you may want to factor it into your next move.

The World Population Review shares:

“What states have the best weather? When evaluating each state for temperature, rain, and sun, some states stand out. . . . Climate and weather preferences are personal and subjective...”

Better weather can mean people.

Some prefer the heat, others cooler temperatures, and some want to experience all four seasons. Think about what makes you feel happiest and prioritize that in your home search. If you’re moving to a whole new location, your agent is a great resource with a strong network to support you along the way.

Moving could provide you with a fresh beginning and connect today to talk about your goals and options in the current market.

You should also think about your lifestyle and what you’re hoping to get out of your move. What needs aren’t being met in your current home? What features would bring you more joy and make your life easier?

For example, are you now working remotely and fresh air and open outdoor space to unwind in? Knowing the answers to these questions can help you get started and position your real estate advisor to work with you so
