Liz Moore Agents Host Potluck Event to Benefit Here for the Girls, Inc.

Liz Moore agents Karen Wolons and Jackie Mierle teamed up (with a little help from their friends) to raise money for Here for the Girls, Inc. The event was held on July 28th at Billsburg Brewery in Williamsburg. Food and non-alcoholic drinks were provided for a monetary donation and over $2,000 was raised for Here for the Girls, Inc. in honor of Jackie's fight.

Jackie was diagnosed with Breast Cancer at the age of 30 in 2021. While her oncologists and surgeons were able to tackle the physical aspects of treatment, most of their social and emotional support was geared toward women over 50. She found the support and services she needed from Here for the Girls and while she gears up to raise money to support the organization, she wants to take this opportunity to bring awareness to Breast Cancer under 50, under 40 and even *under 30.*

Liz Moore & Associates’ Potluck with a Purpose lunches are held monthly and are hosted by agents and staff. The host cooks and provides lunch for a cash donation to the cause of their choice.

Liz Moore & Associates Launches New Report to Help Makes Sense of the Real Estate Market in Virginia

Liz Moore & Associates launches “Market Talk”, a report designed to help make sense of today’s real estate market. Written by Liz Moore, President of Liz Moore & Associates, Liz covers what’s happening in the local real estate market and provides insight for sellers, buyers and renters.

1. Have sellers missed their opportunity? “No they haven’t” said Liz Moore, President and Founder of Liz Moore & Associates. “They might get 2 offers instead of 17 but interest rates are still low compared to their historical average. Now is still a good time to sell.”
2. According to Liz, “Buyers will start to see more normal terms, contingencies will be coming back and there is less concern about overpaying. Now is a good time to consider that “move up”.”
3. Regarding renting versus owning, “Rents rise with inflation. Owning your home fixes your monthly payment and provides the opportunity to build equity over the long-term.”

The free report is available at https://www.lizmoore.com/blog/.

Liz Moore & Associates is a boutique real estate agency with more than 150 agents and staff in 5 locations throughout Virginia.
