It was difficult to find reliable cleaners and handymen at first but I have been operating for 2 years now and have found people I like.

I would love to discuss real estate with like minded people over coffee, dinner or virtually 

Thank you James, you’re right, it’s so much easier dealing with the right people who as you stated, shoot you straight!

I'm looking to connect with people who are like minded in the Oneonta area.

Many people don't buy because they are concerned about this and that.

But then again I’m not too good at people management.  

I am very cautious about stuff like this but if i find anything interesting or worthwhile considering I can let people know.

I love hearing people succeed!

I find that a lot of people don't recommend you go out there first.

@Jason Sinclair, having a designer for a wife, I would answer that it really depends heavily on each house, the flow and usability of the spaces as they are, and the overall use of space in the house as a whole.That being said, while there may be a small shift towards more separated spaces, "open concept" is by no means dead, and in many markets, most people seem to still want to have connectivity between their communal spaces.In fact, my wife's current flip is a split level (although technically it is a split-foyer), and she is taking out a structural wall to connect the kitchen, dining and living areas.
