Hello! Welcome to Maryland’s Newest Blog on Real Estate!

Hello folks. It’s almost All Hallows Eve in Maryland so to celebrate the birth of this blog and the upcoming Halloween festivities, I have a cool photograph of the pumpkins my family carved this weekend (see Latest Postings on sidebar). Good thing I have a photo of this, because we made a mistake and set them in a sunny spot and they aren’t looking so good anymore. . .

Anyway, welcome to GET MORE REAL ESTATE the newest blog for Howard County, Maryland. Just in case you don’t know where that is, Howard County is between Washington D.C. and Baltimore (closer to Baltimore) and includes Columbia (home of Merriweather Post Pavillion and Lake Kittamaqundi), Ellicott City (which has a cool historic district), Clarksville, Elkridge, Fulton, Emerson, Woodstock, Woodbine, and Mt. Airy (which is in the north west corner of the county and actually straddles Carroll, Frederick and Montgomery counties as well).

Who am I? I’m a Realtor with RE/MAX 100 in Columbia who does business in Central Maryland. Why this blog? I wanted a forum that would cover this local area and be something of interest to homeowners, home sellers, home buyers, renters and real estate investors. Basically, I have read a lot — no, make that A LOT — of very negative things lately about real estate, the market and Realtors in general — stuff that just isn’t true! The media sells more papers and gets way more attention with negative articles than it does with positive ones. Which is really only part of the story — the proverbial cup isn’t half empty. . .on GET MORE REAL ESTATE it’s half full!

So stay tuned, and be prepared to learn something about this community and real estate in general as well as — be entertained. My goal is to inform and have fun too.

Thanks for visiting. . .
