The Art of Lingering
I know I won’t fool anyone so I’ll admit it right from the start. I’m just not a natural lingerer. In fact, I pride myself on being a bullet pointed, task driven, get-it-done doer. As doers do, I take great satisfaction organizing my days into a larger-than-life task list…and even more in crossing off each item as it is completed. I stride through my checklist brushing past everything in my path and chanting “I do, I did, what’s next?” It’s how I’ve learned to maintain control of each day….and you know what?

Another awesome recommendation from our clients:
"Bernie Katzmann and Mike Shaw at Herth Real Estate are very, very experienced and sophisticated at marketing and then negotiating the sale on personal residences. Their attention to detail as well their strategy to create anticipation and buzz was key to getting the final, extraordinary price. They should teach a master class on estate sales" - Recent Seller
