Buying a home can be stressful. Applying for a mortgage, viewing properties, making offers and competing for homes with multiple bids can be daunting. But it doesn't have to be when you work with an experienced real estate professional who is passionate about their work and looks forward to earning your business and building a partnership for years to come....

How to Live the Best Lake Life
We've all seen the decorative signs in homes …
- Lake life is the Best Life
- The Lake is My Happy Place
- If you're lucky enough to have a house at the lake, you're lucky enough.
Sure, my husband, daughter, and I vacationed for many years at Smith Mountain Lake and we thoroughly loved the long boat rides, the glassy early morning water that reflected the sky and trees, the creaking sound of the dock slowly rising and falling as a boat went speeding by,
the sunrises over the mountain and the sunsets at the end of a fun-filled day. However, what I could not totally appreciate until we moved here full time was the sense of belonging that my husband and I would experience almo...

What's the Difference Between a Greenway and a Blueway?
Did you know we have both a Greenway AND Blueway in Roanoke? We do!
But what do the colors mean anyway?
The Roanoke Greenway is the path that runs parallel to the Roanoke River (which is the Blueway). In the Blueway you can enjoy fishing, tubing, swimming and all things water.
The Roanoke Valley Greenway system has over 30 miles of space spanning all the way from Salem to Botetourt and is used for outdoor recreational activities like walking, biking, rollerblading and skateboarding.
Personally, I enjoy the walking part. You can see beautiful sites, talk with great friends, people watch or just get your time in exercising.
A group of friends and I were walking along the Greenway last week after stopping at Blue Cow Ice Cream

Local Spotlight: Farmburguesa

Farmburguesa!
Recently, I had lunch with my coworkers at Farmburguesa - a locally owned burger joint in Grandin Village. If you haven't been there yet, I recommend it soo highly!
Their options range from single patty burgers to QUADRUPLE patty burgers to even being able to make your burger a salad or swap your bun for tostones!
Normally, when I eat out and I choose a salad over a burger, I feel like I'm missing out. But not with these salads! The patty is so flavorful and I always have a happy and satisfied tummy after chowing down.
My favorite is the Columbiana which has crushed potato chips, pineapple, pink sauce, and onions mixed in with a burger patty, lettuce, tomato an...
