Easter Sunday, Memorial Day Weekend And Summer Beach Days Are Ahead

The past few weeks have been a tough time for us all. Whether you're hunkered down in a city or lucky enough to be here by the water, the current situation around the globe is a trying one. In spite of it all, we must remain positive and remember that sunny beach days are around the bend, no matter how far away that may be! Also, remember that I'm just a phone call away if you have any questions or concerns related to your home, rental or anything else that comes to mind.

Lets make our world's health and safety a priority and we will get through this together!

Tips For Working From Home With Kids

A new shift into working from home can be a challenge — especially with little ones.

Staying Healthy While At Home

When you're stuck at home it can be hard to find ways to stay active, but it's oh-so-important to remain fit and healthy, especially now!

Hello From My Home Office!

I hope this email finds you and your families safe and healthy. As importantly, I hope you are making the most of this time with your family – meals together, taking walks and enjoying your own back yards and family rooms, reading those awaited books and articles, organizing closets and attics, home schooling your children, doing something good in your neighborhood and, of course, enjoying those summer photos from vacations in Avalon and Stone Harbor; keeping the dream alive!

We are all learning how to do things in new ways, which may be a good thing. Certainly life will never be the same, nor should it, and God willing we will all appreciate each other and life in a different way.

In my 28-year real estate career on Seven Mile Island, we have survived and grown through high interest rates, the horror of 9/11, the financial crisis of 2007 recession, government shutdowns and the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. Please know our collective goal is to see everyone join us here at your Happy Place as soon as this current crisis passes us by — and it will .

All the best,

Holly C. Rennie
