Listen up Pups and Puppettes, 
I am excited to announce that I will be tagging along with Sarah to the annual Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony. I have cabin fever because I haven’t been out much. Sarah says “NO DOGS ALLOWED” on her Thursday caravans but this Sunday will be my BIG day.
Come join us at the Colts Neck Town Hall on Sunday, December 2nd at 4:30pm. Come and view the lighting of the Township Tree plus be entertained by my howling, OK, that’s a joke. Come and listen to the Navesink Brass who will be singing holiday carols and view the outstanding dance performances by the Colts Neck Dance Academy students.
Best of all, I hear Santa will be making a special appearance so make sure to bring the kids.
Free candy canes, hot chocolate and donuts. What could be better, other than a few dog bones but I like donuts too, make sure you drop a few by me.
See you soon!

What better way to start the holiday season than to attend the annual Spring Lake Candlelight Christmas Inn Tour.
On December 1st, 2007, from 3:30 to 7pm, eleven of Spring Lakes most beautiful Inn’s will open their doors to welcome those in search of some holiday cheer.
Each Inn will be dressed in an elegant and cleverly decorated holiday theme, completely done up from parlor to porch and of course there will be friends, music, candlelights and plenty of Christmas wishes.

New Jersey Has the Best Real Estate Clients
November 21st, 2007 Categories: My Favorites, Real Estate News
For those of you that don’t know me personally let me share a secret with you. I LOVE COFFEE. I am a coffee fiend. Especially in the morning. I must have a cup of Mojo upon awakening and plenty more throughout the day.
My vehicle is littered with empty coffee containers, either from the Colts Neck, NJ Dunkin Donuts or the Marlboro, NJ Starbucks.
Last year one of my clients gave me the most wonderful gift. They gave me a Tassimo. The Tassimo Hot Beverage System is not your ordinary coffee maker. It is a system that allows you to make anything from espresso, tea’s and of course regular coffee to much more complicated drinks like Latte Macchiato at the push of a button.
I absolutely love this machine! I rank it high on my list of “Can’t Live Without”. I thought I was the only one that felt that way but just like we have a large real estate community, there is also a large Tassimo community called “Inner Circle”. Come to find out that I’m not alone in my praise for this fantastic invention.
With the addition of the Starbucks T*Disc system the community is all a buzz.
So, does NJ have the best Real Estate clients?? YES! This was an awesome gift and I thank my clients for thinking of me and making me feel as though I was worth it.

So you are thinking of selling in today’s market? How do you make your home stand out from the rest?
You need a Realtor who will give you a distinct marketing advantage by either having the artistic ability to redesign the interior of your home or employ the creative services of a Certified Home Stager.
Home staging is more than the art of preparing a home for sale. It is about illusion. It is how magician Criss Angel would sell a house. It’s beyond cleaning and moving furniture around. The key word is AMBIANCE. Creating a mood and perfecting it so that the home feels bigger, warmer, brighter and most of all that it evokes a feeling of “Buy Me” to a potential home buyer.
To survive in today’s challenging real estate market, this valuable trend is almost a must. According to the National Association of Realtors, the average time on the market for stages homes is 13.9 days as opposed to 31 days for non-staged homes. Staged homes also sell for an average of 6.9% to 10% over listing price according to NAR.
The problem with selling a home is that very few buyers can visualize the potential that is hidden in the house. Home buyers are reluctant to see pass the current home owners own decorating taste or are reluctant to buy a vacant home.
Make sure to ask your realtor how they can help you leave a lasting impression on prospective buyers.

Hi! I'm Tyler.
I'm always sitting under my Mom's desk as she does her Real Estate work.
No one knows who I am so I thought I'd create this blog and introduce myself.
I am a 4 year old Pomeranian. I share my home with my sister Tinkerbell, who happens to be a 3 year old T.Cup Pomeranian.
T.Cup is just a fancy term for “midget”. Tinkerbell is 3lbs; full grown; I know, I know, how cute, right?
I live in Colts Neck New Jersey and my mom is Sarah Bandy, a Real Estate agent who works for Better Homes Realty, the Colts Neck office.
Please check in often as I will be blogging all about the upcoming news and life underneath my Mom's desk! Plus Sarah herself and some contributing writers will also be hanging around to talk Real Estate. Hope to hear from you soon.
BARK BARK!
