Stacey – It is hard to believe how far we’ve come in just the last 20 years, in drink, eating, and how we market ourselves as real estate agents. I grew up outside a medium-sized Ohio city (~20,000) and it had one Chinese restaurant and one Mexican restauran in 1990. Now, there are 5 Chinese restaurants, 4 Mexican restaurants and an Indian restaurant. Thanks for stopping by!

It’s amazing how much the U.S. has progressed in the appreciation of food and wine over the past few decades. My husband was just telling me a story described to him by one of his customers. She grew up in Boston, met and married her husband in Switzerland and raised a family just north of NYC. She expressed to my husband of how difficult it was to find great food and wine in Manhattan in the mid 60s. I never doubted, or always assumed, the Big Apple was always a culinary Mecca.

As developing media has changed the way we eat and drink, it will change the way we market real estate as well. I’m glad to be involved with people who appreciate and understand both.
