The holidays were a great time for us to catch up with so many of you. You have no idea how much joy we get in seeing your new baby and puppy pics, sharing your family updates, and chatting about renovations! We often share client updates aloud in our team meetings. In The Good Life: Lessons From the World’s Longest Scientific Study of Happiness, Dr. Bob Waldinger talks about a historic Harvard happiness study which began in 1938. One very clear finding has emerged: Strong relationships are what make for a happy life, even more so than wealth, IQ or social class. Our goal for 2023 is to strengthen our relationships. To that end, give us a call or drop us a line at jeannephilmeg@compass.com and let us know what you're up to and/or follow and share with us on Instagram as another way to connect. - jeanne, phil, meg, alex, annie and christine |

| JPM Gingerbread Party 2022 was a huge success! Thank you all for celebrating another "wunderful" Gingerbread party with us at Wunder Garten! What a great time to gather with the World Cup going on and the sounds of the cheers (and jeers!) from all the fans. We couldn't have planned a better viewing party or a better time to spend with you! |

JPM Partner Phil Guire and his wife Sarah were frustrated by the news of immigrants and asylum seekers being dropped off in DC on Christmas Eve and have offered shelter to a couple from Latin America. If you are interested in helping out, gift cards to Safeway would be wonderful. Any excess cards would be given to Migrant Mutual Aid Network or Sanctuary DMV. The generosity of friends, neighbors and the greater Washington region has been heartwarming. Thank you! We are happy to pick up the gift cards from you directly or you can mail them to us here at our office. Contact christine.oreilly@compass.com. |

Think you’ve been priced out of the market due to interest rates and rising prices? For the last two years, our buyers were having to escalate on pricing or risk losing houses to multiple offers. Now we are seeing less competition and more contingencies in this more balanced market. As soon as folks realize that rates aren’t fluctuating anymore and this is our “new norm,” competition will increase again - it always does! If a move is in your future, call us and let's work up a plan! Some strategies our clients have used to succeed in home-buying recently: Ask us how these are working for our clients! |
