Holiday Check in From Real Estate Agent- Jess Watts
Hi Friend!
I wanted to check in since we are in the full swing of the Holidays.
Regardless of how you celebrate, I hope you consider shopping small, and integrating house plants into your design.
Plants are natural air purifiers, can absorb sound, and improve your mood! If you are feeling that stress, they can help keep you calm and ease the stress! Plants if done correctly, can also help you sell your home faster and for more money.
If it’s gifts that are adding to the stress, please shop local. Your purchase can change a small businesses trajectory. They will always notice and appreciate your purchase where the big box stores won’t.
The bonus? You will reduce your carbon footprint, AND increase your property value! Check out my socials for my favorite local shops based on what gifts you need!
Rates are staying steady, but we do expect to see a small shift down in Q1. If you are wanting to sell next year, the sooner you start talking to me the better! Planning correctly can help you get more for your money!
Enjoy all the glittering lights- I hope they boost your mood like they do mine.

Organizations Making a Difference Some of my favorite nonprofits doing incredible work right here in our backyard: 914Cares , Westchester Land Trust , Hope's Door , The Pantry , Community Center NW, and the Suzanne Grant Foundation . Each one addresses critical needs, from food insecurity and domestic violence support to land conservation and community programming. How We Give Back Together After every sale, I make a donation in my client's name to an organization of their choice. It's a simple gesture that creates real impact. But more importantly, it introduces people to the vital work happening in their new community. When you learn about your neighbors' needs and the organizations serving them, you don't just move to a place—you become part of it. This Holiday Season: Let's Hit the Give Back Program Hard The holidays are the perfect time to amplify our impact. Whether you're buying, selling, or simply wanting to make a difference, let's support these organizations together. A percentage of my profits goes directly back into the community, and I'm challenging myself—and you—to give even more this season. Keep Showing Up Giving back isn't a one-time event. It's about consistently showing up for your community, learning what's happening in your own backyard, and helping your neighbors assimilate and thrive. When we all contribute, even in small ways, we create stronger, more connected neighborhoods. Ready to make a difference? Reach out to learn more about the give back program, or pick your favorite local organization and support them today.
The holiday season is magical, but let's be honest—crafting with kids can sometimes feel more stressful than festive. Between the glue spills, the scissors mishaps, and the inevitable meltdowns, holiday activities don't always go as planned.
As a real estate agent who's helped dozens of New York City families relocate to upstate properties over the past few years, I've witnessed a transformation that goes far beyond real estate transactions.
