Before you fall in love with the house, fall in love with your mortgage lender! 🏡

Having a local lender on your team can make a BIG difference. Someone who knows the area may also know about local grants and assistance programs you might not find on your own.

And if you don’t already have a lender you trust, no worries! I have several trusted local lenders I’m happy to refer you to. We’ll get the right people on your team before you start opening all those Zillow tabs! 😂

The right team makes the home-buying journey SO much smoother!

BIG NEWS FOR GREAT BRIDGE! 🎉

If you’re familiar with Great Bridge, chances are you’re familiar with Woody’s Raw Bar & Grill! It’s been a local favorite for years, sitting right here along the Great Bridge Lock and waterway.

So I was excited to hear that Woody’s is moving into a new location just a short distance from where they are now—and I think this is such a WIN for Great Bridge!

The new location is a building that has been sitting vacant for years, so seeing it get new life, new energy and a well-known local business moving in is something worth celebrating.

And the best part? Woody’s isn’t leaving the waterfront! 🌊 They’re staying right here in Great Bridge, keeping that local feel and the water views that have been part of the experience for so long.

I love seeing longtime local businesses grow while continuing to be part of the communities that helped make them successful. It’s good for Woody’s, good for that building and GOOD FOR GREAT BRIDGE! ❤️

Jeff LeRoy, owner of Woody’s Raw Bar & Grill confirmed his restaurant has signed a lease and will relocate across the boulevard into the building at 136 Battlefield Blvd. North.
