Month: February 2023

  • Important Reminder for Owners

    Effective Spring 2023, both Avalon and Stone Harbor will implement new trash and recycling container requirements.

    Stone Harbor:

    “Standardizing trash can size to 64 gallons (31.8” long x 24.25” wide x 41.75” high), equipped with wheels and a bar that allows the can to be tipped into the truck. The Borough will provide a list of retailers where homeowners can purchase the cans. Required compliance is set for May 1, 2023”.

    Avalon:

    “As previously announced, the Borough intends to purchase and distribute new, uniform roll off solid waste and recycling carts for the community in 2023.  These roll off carts will improve efficiency with trash collection while restricting trash from impacting the marine environment”.

    Property owners in both towns are reminded to remove non-compliant containers prior to the summer season so tenants/guests do not inadvertently use the wrong trash or recycle cans.  Bulk trash pick up in early May will be an ideal time for disposal of old cans.

  • February Spring?

    Daffodils, crocus and hyacinths starting to bloom in our yard…and new growth on the dune grass.

  • Observations…

    It’s odd to think about all of the changes in our lives since 2020.

    The other day, I was talking to the man who regularly picks up dry cleaning on the island (he was dropping off a bed comforter to me at my office).  In the past, the local real estate offices kept him busy with dress shirts, suits, and silk blouses!  I joked that we don’t dress up anymore…and he agreed that it’s changed his business.

    Another recent conversation with a friend was about shopping malls. She mentioned that the King of Prussia Mall was deserted last week, and I realized I can’t even remember the last time I was inside a mall.  The “Amazon” effect was being felt before the pandemic, but now on-line shopping is the norm for many.

    We live in a contactless society.  Kiosks in Wawa, fast food restaurants and LabCorp.  Self check out options at the Acme, CVS and Home Depot.   I’m guessing the expansion of this technology was boosted by Covid protocols.

    So how does this relate to real estate?  Technology allows consumers to easily search for properties, and communicate remotely via text or email for more information.  Yet Zillow does not know the fine details of a particular home and/or location.  That’s why an experienced agent is key 🙂

    I have a lifetime of experience of living/working on the island…and I’m here to help!

    Thank you for your business and referrals.
