A message from Jane McWilliams, Vice President of Business Development and Relocation
Are you thinking about moving to the “burbs”?
Life in the suburbs is about open air, yards, top rated schools and scenic charm. A home here is your opportunity to Move Up.
The “burbs” life is especially relevant when your family is growing. That’s why my team and I will be an exhibitor at the New York Baby Show, the largest show for new and expectant parents in the country. The event takes place this weekend, May 18 – 19, at Pier 94, New York, NY.
There, we’ll be ready to match you with the best real estate advisers in the industry to help you find your dream home. On top of everything you will gain from a move to the suburbs, I’m excited to offer a cash rebate program when you use our service. Learn more about our Affinity program.
In anticipation of tomorrow’s event, I want to present to you an overview of the extraordinary areas my team serves. As far as suburban life goes, these areas are simply the cream of the crop, and it will be my pleasure to make experiencing life here a reality.
I hope to see you this weekend at the Pier! A move to the “burbs” may be one of the best moves you can make!
My Regards,
Jane McWilliams
