“Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you. ”
― Walt Whitman
It is a BEAUTIFUL, sunny day in Door County, Wisconsin, and the sun is reflecting off our newly-fallen snow! Cold, but lovely. We just got done touring a property in West Jacksonport, and I have one more to show in Fish Creek in half an hour.
People ask...what do we do up here at this time of the year? Well, what DON'T we do? I'm at our Fish Creek office, and Fish Creek is full of people. There are cars parked up and down Main Street, the shops and restaurants are busy, and people are smiling!
It's a great time to look at Door County real estate. Be sure to visit http://www.door-county-properties.com for new listings, price reductions, and more. We had some great income-generating hotel condominium units come on the market in Fish Creek this week. Come and stay and play, and make some money when you're not here.
See you in Sister Bay, Ellison Bay or Fish Creek this weekend? Make it a great day!

Fantastic Fish Creek, and Stunning Sister Bay--This Week in Door County, Wisconsin

MaryKay Shumway Broker/ABR/SRES: Real Estate Agent in Sister Bay, WI

We had a fantastic weekend in Door County! People everywhere. We had an incredible Winter Festival in Fish Creek. Oh, sure, it was about forty, we had one inch of (melting) snow, but people were comfortable and they had fun. Fireworks, my much-touted "Wheel of Meat", and Human Foosball....it was another great festival. And it was bigger than last year, with free trolly rides, and I hope it grows even more next year. The spill-over carried into Sister Bay for the dinner hour, and the Bowl, JJ's and Husby's were BUSY. Al Johnson's parking lot was packed when I drove by yesterday morning, too. I hope everyone had a FANTASTIC weekend.

This is a Sister Bay week for me. I have a lot of showings, and a LOT of follow-ups on customers or clients who have been on the fence. I expect a contract back today, and I need to be showing in the next hour.

Alas, I have enjoyed this warms spell (I swear our grass is getting green again) but it's supposed to be (properly) back in the teens by the weekend. Make it a great week!

It's a Beautiful Day for Door County Properties--Winterfest Update!

MaryKay Shumway Broker/ABR/SRES: Real Estate Agent in Sister Bay, WI

Winterfest Update---our parade went through, people are stopping in for real estate guides, and it is warm! The thermometer only says 25 (high of 37 predicted) but the beautiful sun and blue sky makes it seem much warmer.

I had a great week showing property; have a few contracts to draft, and other items on the agenda today. Make it a great weekend! Fireworks in Fish Creek tonight!
