I went shopping for a mattress as I promised  Mike McCann Nebraska Land Broker  . I chose it as my furniture dealer as I knew they would have almost all the internet and High models in stock and on the showroom floor. Plus, they were the company I would most likely buy from, as I like their company service and policy.Philadelphia Steals and Deals Mattress Shopping Part oneI asked for a salesman I had purchased furniture from before, but my mind went blank. I need help remembering his name. A nice young salesman looked him up for me, and he was there. He was finishing up with a lovely young couple, so I started looking around. There were rooms and rooms full of mattresses. There was another lady, and we looked at each other and said oh my goodness, how do you decide? My salesman came and...

Delaire Landing is a Gated Waterfront Community located in the Torresdale section of NE Philadelphia. There are eight different condo sections plus an apartment community inside. Shared by all of the residents is a clubhouse with a small gym and a free library a meeting room and many activities. There are two pools overlooking the Delaware River.

Forget your bags when you shop? Yes you will need to bring cloth shopping bags when you go food shopping in Philadelphia as it is against the law for stores to use plastic bags. When you look at all the liter around the City you see particles or masses of plastic bags hanging about .In order to fight and manage  the liter all about the city no more plastic bags in the City of Philadelphia.When I went shopping I did remember to bring to bags. I purchased more food than expected and they had awesome candles so the bags would be too  heavy. They did offer very nice bags for .33 cents made of non woven polypropylene which are  re-useable and does hold quite a bit of food. Glad I purchased them. Have to remember to keep them in the car or start carrying a larger handbag again.Unfortunately I...

Let us take a look at what is going on in the Delaire Landing Gated Community. Condos  are in high demand in this development . No sooner are they listed for sale than are they going under contract. There is one unit on the first floor that has gone under contact three times. The problem? My assumption is the appraisal but is not my place to say. Taking into consideration the Pandemic residents have adjusted fairly well .They do miss the Club House and the social events that Delaire Landing offer under normal circumstances.  We are very fortunate one of the residents have put together some outdoor events with some excellent results. The Puzzle and Book Swap was a great success.  On October 17th the Annual Flea Market and Craft Show will be open to the public and held outdoors in the par...

Recently I rented property to one of my clients. I was happy to help them. It was a beautiful unit in the development    I showed them the pool on the river.  I explained to them the community and all the amenities. We had done a whole tour of the community and walked the grounds. It is a lovely place especially the time of day we were there with the boats sailing by as we walked to the deck. We discussed all the wonderful trips that were planned in the community. They asked me how much do we need to give you to hold the unit. I smiled as I was not sure if they liked it but I was sure I like them. They are retired folks. An application was all they needed. If they checked out it was theirs. They did check out I knew they would. One thing I will say I am a lucky lady my clients are wonde...
