Oh, the things I’ve seen inside homes here in Utah, having sold thousands of homes here in Utah in almost 42 years! Many of my clients have parents that are moving to assisted living or have passed and before the property can go to market it often has to be cleaned out. Folks who lived […]
I am definitely a foodie. My mother was a food columnist, my grandmother one of the first women to cook on television, both aunts were food stylists for major magazines and the Betty Crocker company, and my uncle and his wife had a very famous chefs store in NYC that catered to folks like Julia […]
My guess is that by the time this column gets published, we still won’t have an agreement in congress to fund the federal budget. According to Congress.gov, Utah has 33,961 federal employees in the state and Hill Air Force Base is Utah’s largest single site employer. The impact of both civilian and military personnel not […]
People are becoming more and more concerned about their own economic situations given government policies and that fact is being supported by different MLS/REALTOR groups around the country.

As the fall colors start to turn, many powderheads start pacing back and forth, looking longingly at the top of our Rocky Mountains for that first dusting of Utah snow. The Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts near to below-average snowfall for Utah during the 2025-2026 winter season, with warmer-than-normal temperatures overall. La Nina may influence our […]
Thinking of NOT traveling outside of the state this summer for a vaycay? Rather stick around for a staycay and maybe explore what we have here in the state to see? Utah has over 260 museums covering a wide range of topics, from art to culture, history to science. There’s a ski museum in Park […]
Summertime is baseball time! My dad and later stepmom were sports nuts and always had a radio or TV on listening to some game or post-game talk show, and my brothers were into football, wrestling, and basketball in school. My nephew went to play in the little league world series. I was happy during college […]
