Staying Home/Finding Home

Home has never been more important

For many of us, this time has provided an atmosphere for contemplating whether or not we're living exactly how and where we should be

Our mission at Compass is to help everyone find their place in the world

Reevaluating

Well before the property search, finding home begins with finding priorities.

These past months have been a time of shifting priorities for many of us.

A few resources that have played a key role for me:

Contemplation: Sign up for a Stoic thought each day

Education: Sign up for weekly Brain Food

Meditation: Sign up for lifelong stress reduction

Adoption: Sign up for unconditional love

Help yourself to whatever you like!

Resizing

Whatever you're seeking:

Private outdoor space

More space for working at home

Summer rental

Second home outside of the city

Adapting quickly is key.

Property videos, and Virtual Open Houses will figure prominently in the sale and rental of real estate in the near future--and possibly beyond. Necessity being the mother of invention, we're already seeing the benefits of spending more time exploring a home from home before venturing out.

Need help navigating the new landscape? Give me a ring.

Redecorating

Killing two birds with one stone (without the cruelty).

Simple, inexpensive, DIY projects can provide surprising resale value or just a renewed enjoyment of your forever home.

Either way, it's a fun way to keep busy.

While sheltering-in-place I occupied myself wallpapering-in-place.

New peel-and-stick, and pre-pasted, removable wallpapers have transformed this once stodgy style option into a top choice for affordable, and impactful DIY home improvement.
