Apr 26, 2014 — Promontory Club, Summit Sotheby's International Realty

The bluebird is well named, for he wears a coat of the purest, richest, and most gorgeous blue on back, wings, and tail.  No North American bird better deserves the name, for no other flashes before our admiring eyes so much brilliant blue. It has been said that he carries on his back the blue of Heaven and the rich brown of the freshly turned earth on his breast.   WHO has ever seen the bluest sky  -- as blue as the bluebird's back?"

Apr 24, 2014 — Nancy Tallman, Summit Sotheby's International Realty

Over 11 years ago, on my first house hunting trip to Park City, Utah, I noticed how the sun set about an hour later in Jeremy Ranch than in almost every other neighborhood.

The dream homes in magazines are a great way to get ideas, and looking at pictures of homes online can narrow down some likes and dislikes for you. However, to get the feel of the right home for you and your family, and a sense of what is important for your new home to have, plan to take advantage of open house events.

Print’s Not Dead!

Apr 21, 2014

The Wall Street Journal recently reported on, “Why Online Retailers Like Bonobos, Boden, Athleta Mail So Many Catalogs.” The article sheds light on why shoppers spend more online after browsing through lavish print spreads. The old-school marketing format has survived to play a crucial creative role in modern e-commerce.

The Value of a Carmel Lifestyle

Apr 18, 2014 — Courtney Jones, Carmel Realty Company

I was reading the debut issue of San Francisco Cottage and Garden’s article by Lydia Lee, “Wonderfully Walkable,” which emphasizes a growing trend from buyers wanting properties walking distance to down town’s shops and restaurants.
