Looking to buy a house is an odd experience. Sometimes you enter and the owners are sitting there, in their chairs, looking sad and despondent (please buy our home). Other times, the home is empty of people, but it feels like a ghost is present. You look over the pictures on the wall: children since grown, war memories, cheesy art work, a diploma from a school you never heard of. What kind of food do these people eat? Why on earth did they pick this carpet? Did they really use this oddly shaped bathroom? What is that smell? What did this street look like in 1948 when the home was first built? What were they thinking of when they put up that paneling? What kind of books do they read? What crisis happened here? What joy? Who mourned here? Who did things that they would never admit in public? Thomas Edison imagined the phonograph as a way to capture voices from the past (ghost voices) and play them back (see Lisa Gitelman’s wonderful book). What voices or cries or laughter is trapped in the air here? If we could hear it all, would we run away screaming?

Hi, J!

We have some really great houses to show you at Tiffy & Company.

I love this little cottage. As you can see, there's a lovely roof window AND a missle silo in back. Cute, cute, cute!

This house just came on the market. The sellers are SUPER motivated! Act now!

We also are now showing Crazy Old Man Willis' house. Despite what you may have heard, that smell is not the smell of death! We prefer to call it the "stink of life"!

Give me a call if you're interested.
