If you are a potential tenant searching for a rental property online in the Howard County area, be VERY VERY AWARE that a huge portion of rentals listed on Craigslist are a complete scam. THIS IS MY LISTING FOR SALE AND IT IS NOT A RENTAL Yesterday I received a call from a very nice man from New York who is relocating to the Ellicott City area and wanted to see my single family home that was listed for rent on Craigslist. I DO NOT HAVE A RENTAL LISTING IN ELLICOTT CITY. He had done his homework and Googled the property address online. Seeing as I advertise all of my listings on over 60+ web sites it was easy to find my contact information. He was kind enough to send me the link to this listing.   $2500 / 4br - Spacious and Pristine Home in Ellicott City, MD (Ellicott City) Date: 2010-06... 07/07/2010

PLEASE DONATE BLOOD IN ELLICOTT CITY, MARYLAND     With summer quickly approaching, the blood supply at the American Red Cross has dropped significantly. A decline in blood donations is typical during the summer as donors become busy with seasonal activities and overlook donating blood. If this continues, our supply could reach critical levels. Premature babies, accident victims as well as patients with cancer, sickle cell disease, and other illnesses receive lifesaving transfusions every day. There is no substitute for blood and volunteer donors are the only source.   The American Red Cross is asking all eligible donors to please schedule an appointment as soon as possible to ensure that all local patients have the available blood components needed to survive.   "You can make the diffe... 06/14/2010

Back on April 3rd 2010 The McIntire Team hosted the "6th Annual Easter Egg Hunt" Client Appreciation event in Centennial Park, Ellicott City. Every year we use Pavillion D which is right beside the awesome play ground and has a huge grassy area behind it to "hide" all of the eggs.  April 3rd was a glorious Spring day: Thankfully not too hot that the thousands of pieces of chocolate in the colorful eggs melted. The Easter Bunny arrived to have pictures with all the children and then announced the beginning of the hunt. We always do it in three parts so the little ones do not get trampled by the eager older children.  This year we had a moon bounce that was a HUGE success. There were lots of door prizes, contest prizes and extra special prizes for finding the gold coins in the Easter Eggs... 04/19/2010

Last Friday I showed a home in Ellicott City that was listed that day. Compared to the recent active listings I felt that it was a aggressively priced, but it was in a very attractive Howard County school district. While we were at the house 4 other agents were showing clients. It was a nice home, but certainly not a WOW home for the price. This house went under contract yesterday (Monday) in just 4 days Yesterday morning I showed the same client another home in Ellicott City that was new on the market. He sent me an e-mail that his wife wanted to see it today. I pulled the listing this morning and it too is now under contract. Here is the e-mail I received after I sent him the new status. "Thanks for the update.... ugh. Do we need to go to a showing with an offer sheet in hand?  If my ... 04/06/2010

Are you ever in Howard County Maryland looking for a REAL Toy Store? Look no further than "Mumbles and Squeaks" that sits in the middle of Main Street in Historic Downtown Ellicott City. Most Malls or shopping plazas have big chain toy stores that have aisle after aisle of every toy imaginable, but for a truly wholesome experience nothing can compare to the wide eyed awe of a three year old when he steps over the threshold of "Mumbles & Squeaks" in this Ellicott City destination. In fact he will be mesmerized at just looking in the window or touching the life-sized (to a three year old) wooden soldier at the front door. The first thing that will strike you is the abundance of toys in such a small space as far and wide as the eye can see. It has a smell of old. Not a bad smell, but one t... 03/23/2010
