Our Great City

Taking care of your face, on a daily basis, is a reality for anyone who does not want to look years older than their true age.

Skin care is not a “women’s-only” club with secret rituals to which men are not admitted. Thorough cleaning and skin protection is a universal fountain of youth. Men also need to maintain and protect their face in order to improve our feeling of wellness, our perception in the workplace and the social scene, and to minimize the likelihood of skin cancer and other unwelcomed side effects.

We spend a lot of time outdoors and whether you’re golfing, running, coaching/watching your kids’ activities or skiing this Spring Break, your face is continually bombarded by the damaging effects of the sun, wind and pollution.

Once in a while I see a house in such good shape that it's difficult to find anything wrong with it. So instead of always writing about problems and bad things I find, i'd like to focus this time on the positive, the things that will make your house stand out among the crowd as a gem, as the most desirable choice among many for a prospective buyer. Your realtor might say that you need an updated kitchen, bathrooms, nickel plated fixtures, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances, but even with all those things, if you haven't paid attention to maintenance, wear and tear, then your house will not show as well.

On my return trip from a speaking engagement in Chicago, I found myself seated next to a flight attendant. She told me something interesting about the new training of flight attendants, since 9-11. In case of an emergency landing, they had always been trained to say things like:

“Brace for impact!”

“Move to the emergency exits.”

“Stay calm.”

I'm doing many more pre-listing inspections these days for sellers who are interested in finding out ahead of time about problems that will show up when the buyer's inspector looks at their house. I actually offer a free consultation to prospective sellers where, instead of a full blown inspection, I'll come for a visit and spend about an hour with the owner/seller describing the inspection process and pointing out defects in their property that I would list on an inspection report. More often than not sellers call me before the consult and tell me to go ahead and do a full inspection report for them.
