Little Joey Thompson moves into his new house in Drury Cove today.  He’s so excited, he’ll be running from room to room and just having a real ball.  Those are handsome digs your Mama bought you Joey, you’re one lucky little guy!  With so much space and two cozy fireplaces plus that gorgeous stone deck with gazebo, not to mention the walking trails, Nicholas and I just know you are going to have the time of your life!  Maybe Mama will let us come down for a play date!  All the little dogs love Big Buddy Bacon.  I’ll just lay on the floor and then we’re eyeball to eyeball.   Hahaha hahaha.   That’s what I always do with the little guys.  When I’m standing they try to climb up my front legs as if they were tree trunks.  Nicholas is gentle with the little dogs too.  I couldn’t leave my sidekick home.

   364 Montague St, St Andrews is SOLD!

Hope everyone has a wonderful Labour Day Weekend!  I’m hoping to get lots of swimming in.  We’re supposed to have great weather with a chance of a thunderstorm on Monday, but what does the weather man know?  You have to wonder some days!  You can be sure if it thunders Nicholas will be hiding under the blankets!  Sometimes they say 50% chance of rain, well that’s pretty safe isn’t it.  Rain or shine they were right on!!!  Personally I go look out the window and that tells me all I need to know!

Wow!!! It’s been a heck of a summer, with warm sun day after day and warm nights too.  Is this the new trend for summer in New Brunswick?  I’m so fortunate the I get to swim in the Bay of Fundy on the weekends at New River Beach.  It’s so cool and refreshing but not as cool as it used to be.  The suns seems to warming it up especially  as it comes in over the hot sand to the point that even Nicholas is enjoying it.  I love New River Beach and so does Mama, she says she’d like to retire down there with the cool breeze off the ocean and the fine sand, it’s so peaceful!  Nicholas and I wouldn’t give her any argument there but we can’t see her retiring any time soon!!!  She loves what she does and business has been busier this year than she’s seen in a long time.   Plus things run so smoothly with Charlie on board!  He has so much experience, expertise and finesse with the clients, not to mention a massive network.  His paper work is impeccable which Mama says it’s like working with a lawyer, all i’s dotted and t’s crossed, perfection!

Together they’ve racked up more sales this week with 19 Upper Deck listed and sold by them at $439,900,  433 Pelton Road listed and sold by them too at $488,500 plus Charlie’s listing at 39 Perters Hill Road at $209,500.  August is typically the slowest month of the year but not this year and July is the second slowest but it was busy too.   They’re not complaining, just the opposite they’re happy to help their treasured clients buy and sell their dream homes!

Our garden is lovely this year.  Mama cut off a lot of her gladiolas and brought them in the house for arrangements.  Stunning shades of purple, mauve, raspberry, ivory and coral.  Mama says I’m pretty good at naming my colours but hey what can I say, I was taught by a professional!

We have a fabulous new four-season, fully furnished waterfront listing on Belleisle Bay at 45 Pascobac Lane with one full acre, sandy beach, deep water anchorage, 3-car garage, 1928 square foot ranch home, with full height stone fireplace, open concept and finished daylight walkout basement with guest apartment with full kitchen!  Listed at $475,000.  Bring on the summer fun!  I featured this favourite in ‘Buddy’s Best’ in last weeks Real Estate Guide.  Imagine waking up to this every morning!!!  I could never go to work, I’d have to retire, hahaha!

Well I’d been after Mama for a dogs-age (no pun intended) to get me my new Coldwell Banker business cards and low and behold they arrived last week.  I love them.  They’ve got my picture in the corner, my title (Company Mascot), my email address (Buddy@KatherineBacon.com) and my signature paw print!  I didn’t put my phone number as only my four-legged friends seem to speak Dawg!  Nicholas is pea-green but I explained as my side-kick he does not get his own cards yet but… if he keeps up the good work I’ll put in a good word for him with the boss.  He almost bit me with that remark.  I explained he needs to learn to type, use the computer and spell so he can help me with my blog.  But I must say that he does a fantastic job at public relations!!!  He’s so friendly with our clients and the general public that sometime I have to whisper to tone it down a bit…the ladies keep saying, “OMG, he kissed my ear!”.

Enjoy your weekend and hope to see you soon.

I’m so excited about our wonderful new waterfront listing on Belleisle Bay, year-round home or vacation cottage.  This is my kind of place!  One full acre to run and play, nice beach for a wiener roast, one level ranch style means no stairs for Buddy Bacon with the master bedroom on the main floor and cozy full height stone propane fireplace for cool winter nights.   With 1928 square feet on the main floor there is plenty of space for a big dog and his favourite side kick, Nicholas and the open concept means that I can easily see Mama and Papa at all times.  If you want to have friends and family for the weekend or longer there is a full finished daylight walkout basement with three more bedrooms, full bath and full guest kitchen.   New ductless heat pumps means refreshing A/C for the Budster on hot sunny days!  Three car garage for all your Papa’s toys (even the dreaded lawn mower).   I love it, life doesn’t get much better than this!

Let me tell you there is no dust settling under Charlie’s feet as he negotiates on two homes at this moment!  Good luck Charlie, we know you’ll work your magic and pull them both together.  He is all over southern NB listing, showing and selling homes from Charlotte County to Moncton!

It’s supposed to rain on the weekend and Nicholas and I really hope it does because people need water for their lawns and gardens and nature needs it for the lakes, streams and trees.  Mama says if we could get two full days of steady rain it would help immensely.   So we plan on buttoning down our hatches this weekend.  Hope we don’t lose our power.  Buddy Bacon without A/C is not a happy camper!!!

I’m getting through this unusually hot summer by doing as much swimming as possible in the Bay of Fundy!  I only get there on the weekends but let me tell you Nicholas and I make the most of it!  There’s nothing more refreshing!  Of course I don’t mind the cold at all but Nicholas prefers it when the tide is coming in over the hot sand which warms it up about 20 degrees F.  Mama prefers this too and actually got in with us for a swim twice last weekend!  You know it’s hot out when Mama is swimming in the Bay of Fundy!!!  Our broker Kevin Butler jumped in a few times last weekend in PEI as well.  Another Tough Canuck!  They say it’s good for what ails ya and I agree.  I feel like a million bucks when I get out.  I know Mama did too, she kept raving about it!  Papa came in unexpectedly on Saturday (he actually fell in, off a rocker, snicker, snicker, snicker)!  Mama was right there and pulled him out.  I was up sunning myself on the beach so I was no help and it was all over by the time I hustled down to the water.  He didn’t go right under but the cold water was a shock for sure.  Papa said he actually felt better for it but we can’t figure out why he wouldn’t come back in again???  Wish I had it on camera.

Business has been brisk for being the heart of summertime.  July and August are usually our two slowest months but Mama and Charlie had a great July and August is ahead of schedule.

In keeping with our “Drop in on your way home Open Houses”  we’ll be hosting two on Wednesday August 18th.  One at 19 Upper Deck Lane in Drury Cove, priced at $475,000 and the other at 70 Dunedin Road in Rothesay now reduced to $599,000.  Hope you can stop in and say hello!

Hope you had a great New Brunswick Day weekend and that we see you around the parks and beaches this summer!

Your pal,

July was a very busy month!  Hats off to Charlie on his latest sale including his new listing at 149 Riverside Drive in Rothesay at $458,400 and also 433 Pelton Road at $488,500, sold as a combined effort with Charlie and Mama.    Our out of province buyers from BC are so excited about moving back home to retire and fell in love at first sight with the fabulous panoramic view at this property which came with beach rights on Sandy Point Beach.

Hope you’re all ready for the New Brunswick Day long weekend.  I sure am!  Hoping to get to the beach at New River a few times.  Weather man says it’s going to be hot and sunny so what better place for Big Buddy Bacon than floating around the refreshing Bay of Fundy!  Nicholas and I are hoping Mama will get in with us again this weekend!  What a time we had last weekend when Papa and Mama decided we were both going to have a bath.  I absolutely loved it getting all suds up with my oatmeal shampoo, conditioner and detangling rinse.    Mama nicknamed me Rosebud after that!  Now the little fella was another story!!!  First Mama had to catch him on the beach because he sat by closely watching what had gone on with me and he wasn’t having any part of it.  Then after she caught him and got half way through the bath Papa slackened the hold on his collar just a bit and he got away running down the beach again!  Papa wasn’t impressed but Mama calmly walked up to him, sweet talked him a bit and told him how handsome he was going to be and how nice he’d smell and he came back in for the big finality!  When they were done he jumped out of the water, started twirling around and acting the fool!  He was so funny to watch that I just rolled on the beach laughing.  I hope you have a wonderful New Brunswick Day, get out and enjoy whatever you love best and I hope to see you around.

Your pal,

Big Buddy Bacon
