Dreaming of starting something new in a place full of history and heart? I just shared a blog about a Congress Street property in New Market that’s ready for its next chapter — and maybe yours.

When I first decided to open HomeGrown Real Estate, one of the biggest decisions was choosing the right location. My heart kept pulling me back to New Market. It wasn’t just about opening an office… it was about coming home to a place that had shaped so much of who I am.
When people ask what first sparked my interest in real estate, the “right” answer is usually something about wanting to help people, not just loving houses. But if I’m being honest, the very first spark came from being a Trading Spaces kid. I was glued to HGTV as a child, fascinated with how spaces could be transformed, and I loved being inside homes. That was probably the first sprinkle of an idea… even if I didn’t realize it back then.
