The Liz Moore Market Watch Blog

The Liz Moore & Associates 2023 Peanut Butter and Jelly Challenge was a huge success!  During the month of June, all offices collected PB&J for local charitable organizations and churches to help feed those in need this Summer.

Our Richmond office collected the most with 1,351 jars in just one month putting the grand total at 3,691 jars.

"Our Peanut Butter & Jelly drive is one of my favorite community projects," said Liz Moore.  "This year, many of our clients donated jars alongside the agents, which was fun.  We will be able to provide a summer’s worth of PB & J to many local food pantries as a result.  Congrats to our Richmond office, for collecting the most!"

Thank you to all who donated and helped us get the word out.

The Liz Moore & Associates Property Management Department recently hosted a Cinco de Mayo Potluck with a Purpose to raise money for the SPCA.

Taco, margaritas, and more were served for a cash donation. In just a few hours, they raised more than $880 for this great cause.

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.

It's no secret that we love the Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters here at LMA. Watch as Liz tells her family's story and talks about why CHKD is our corporate charity.

Each holiday season, our offices do a number of things to serve our communities, and this year is no different.  Here are the 2022 community initiatives at Liz Moore & Associates:

Newport News
This year, our Newport News office has organized a Giving Tree to help a local family in need who has recently suffered loss due to a house fire.  If you would like to help, stop by our office at 11801 Canon Blvd., grab a tag off of the tree, and return the item wrapped with the tag.

Bring your furry family members by our office at 276 N. Main Street in Kilmarnock for photos with Santa Paws. New items for cats and dogs for local animal rescues and shelters will be collected.

In addition to Dominion Village, our Williamsburg office is also collecting food items for House of Mercy.  Their pantry stocks are extremely low, and they’re having to cut folks down to half the amount of food.  Donations can be drooped off at our office between 9 and 5.

We'd love your help in serving our communities this holiday season!  Email info@lizmoore.com with questions.

The Giving Tree is up and the Liz Moore Newport News office is collecting school supplies for local teachers ahead of the upcoming school year and we'd love your help!

Why Tabb?

The much sought-after area of Tabb is known for its fantastic schools, sports teams and charming community, but very few know the story behind the land that is loved so much. One tract of land in particular, home of the new community Smith Farm Estates, tells a story rich in history of a pioneer before her time.

Mary Octavia Smith was born in 1845 and was married to Alexander Tabb in 1871. She bore 3 children and became a widow at a young age, leaving her to raise the children on her own. Looking for an opportunity to provide for her family, she applied to the Federal Government requesting for a post office to be placed in the community she lived in, Smithville. Tabb’s request was granted, and history was forever changed.

She became the first female Post Master for the state in 1893 and remained in office until 1910.  27 years before the women’s suffrage movement, this was no small feat. As a Post Master, one of the most coveted and respected positions in the Government, Tabb was a woman ahead of her time. Dedicated to taking care of her family, she converted her house into the post office and served people out of window on the front porch. The area once known as “Smithville” was later named “Tabb” as a nod to Ms. Tabb’s post office.

Located on the heart of what was once Tabb’s property, Smith Farm Estates is nestled in history.  Not only are these ½ acre+ lots highly desired due to location, but the deep historical roots of the land make it even more desirable.

Liz Moore and Associates is honored to represent Edgerton Contracting in this groundbreaking community! For more information on available lots, or for a tour, please contact Jenny Edgerton at (757) 592-3378.
