Pumpkin Chicken Curry with Cranberry Coconut Almond Rice
Heather Christo, Deliciously Allergen Free Recipes

Heather says "And even if it was complicated (and it’s not!!) it would be worth it. Majorly worth it. I made this for dinner on Monday night when it was blustery and stormy and dark and chilly here in Seattle- it was the bubbly aromatic work of heaven after being out running around crazy all afternoon. But as unbelievably delicious this is, it is SO filling! I was pretty much rolled back in my chair with my hand on tummy wishing I was wearing elastic pants (because I usually am). It was so good that despite my full stomach I debated checking to see if I could fit more in- just because I wasn’t done tasting it."

Maximize Your Real Estate Investment: Schedule Your Annual Review Today
Receive Tailored Insights to Maximize the Value and Growth of Your Real Estate Portfolio

Cheri Riley

As a homeowner who values the luxury and comfort of your residence, I understand that your real estate holdings are not just a place to live but a significant investment. That's why I'm offering you an annual review of your real estate portfolio to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information about the real estate activity in your immediate area.


During our consultation, I will share the latest data on real estate activity, including properties that are under contract, sold, and expired in the last 12 months. Additionally, I will provide insights on how these trends might impact your investment and your overall real estate strategy.


If your home value has increased significantly since you purchased it, you may need to update your insurance policies to reflect that prior to Hurricane season this year. I have arranged for a local inspector to provide an updated 4-point or wind mitigation report at a reduced rate, which can help you identify any issues that have come up since your purchase that could impact your investment.


Moreover, the aftermath of the pandemic has led to an increased awareness of the importance of wellness and healthy living among luxury homeowners. Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has emerged as a critical issue, and I can offer you expert advice on how to improve your home's IAQ and overall health environment.


At the end of the day, my aim is to provide you with the knowledge and resources to ensure that your real estate portfolio continues to provide value and growth for years to come. I pride myself on offering a consultative approach that is tailored to your unique needs as a luxury homeowner. 


Please don't hesitate to contact me to schedule your private, complimentary consultation. - Cheri

Embracing Cooler Weather: Reduce Toxins and Improve Indoor Air Quality
Preparing your house for winter
By Amanda Klecker
Read Full Article

Our homes in the winter can be a totally different place and vibe in comparison to the rest of the year. Depending on your climate, most of the time the winter means closed up homes with very little air filtering in or out through open windows and doors. The amount of inside air our home is trading for outside air is called an air exchange, and typically in winter, we have less than one per hour depending on how energy efficient your house is.

Exploring the All-Walkable Community: Culdesac Tempe

By Sydni Sands
Read Full Article

In the last couple of years every time my car insurance needed to be renewed, I would start dreaming of what life would be like without a car. I thought maybe I could get an electric bike or a Vespa or just Uber everywhere. The biggest thing that always stopped me was where I lived. Sure, I could move closer to downtown but still, we don’t have a great public transit system and I’m not super comfortable riding in the bike lane as cars zoom by just a few feet away. What would actually be necessary to be able to live car-free and still have access to all of our modern amenities? Culdesac Tempe is a leading example of how we can live and move in a community that centers on people instead of cars.

When looking for interior paints that prioritize air quality in your home, you'll want to consider paints with low to no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other potentially harmful chemicals. VOCs are chemicals that can evaporate into the air and contribute to indoor air pollution, which can have negative effects on human health. Here are some types of interior paints that are generally considered safer for air quality:

"Cheri helped us find the house when we moved to Tampa. She was a true professional who knew the market, quickly grasped what we were looking for and then patiently toured us through homes until we found the right one. She negotiated a great deal for us and guided us through the purchase process. This is exactly why we called Cheri when we decided to sell the house. She was wonderful. A true expert on market conditions, she helped us prepare the house and then helped us set the asking price. As a result, we received 5 offers at the end of two days of showing and sold our house for $250,000 above our asking price. She once again guided us through the closing process, supporting us and our buyers. She is an exceptional agent." -Katherine G. I work relentlessly on my client's behalf to help them achieve their real estate goals and make smart choices in the built environment. I am passionate about bringing the beauty of sustainable and environmentally friendly living to the luxury real estate market. My community involvement and experience overseeing two billion dollars in sales during my real estate career will serve you well. - Cheri
