Just when I think we have the smartest, most progressive and generous brokers in the world here in Dallas, one of them takes it up a mile. This is such a fabulous idea, I am kicking myself for not thinking of it. What are we all collectively doing? Staying home. What are we doing in our kitchens — cooking! So many people are baking, I could not even find a can of pumpkin puree the other day at Tom Thumb! So how brilliant is it to celebrate not just kitchens, but cooking in them, and wrap it all up into a charitable giving package in time for the holidays? Bless Briggs-Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty for doing just that.
Introducing: Home Made: Love, Laughter and Delicious Things from Our Homes to Yours
Not only is it jam-packed with an incredible collection of recipes, it is a page-turner with photo after photo of beautiful DFW kitchens and breakfast rooms. Kitchens transcend.
Trends come and go. Certain rooms are hot, then not. But the place that will always be the heart of the home is the kitchen.
The agents of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty are always tuned in to what buyers are loving — and not — especially when it comes to arguably the most important room in the house. And, in a year plagued by a coronavirus, when people are staying home more than ever, the kitchen has become more essential than ever.
That’s why the brokerage has gathered some of its hottest available kitchens — and the homes that go with them — at briggsfreeman.com/yum. Come explore it: It’s got homes with beautiful kitchens and breakfast rooms, plus kitchen design trends and kitchen gadgets that you’ll want to know about. Do you know what kitchen color is suddenly everywhere? Do you know what features are most in demand? You will.
As the perfect side dish to that entrée, the brokerage has cooked up something else really special: their first-ever Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty cookbook. It is loaded with well-loved recipes from many of the brokerage’s agents and the team that supports them. They call it Home Made: Love, Laughter and Delicious Things from Our Homes to Yours — and that’s exactly what it is: recipes that are family crowd-pleasers, some handed down from one generation to the next. It’s all yours at briggsfreeman.com/yum.
You know, this cookbook is about something bigger than all of us. It’s about people and place and heart and home. If you are lucky to have a home, we bet you will enjoy making the wonderful things in the Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty cookbook. And, we hope you’ll think of those who don’t have a home, or who are struggling to keep one. In celebration of Home Made, the brokerage is making donations to food banks in North Texas, as part of its Love Your Neighbors program, its unique way of giving back to the communities where its agents serve, work and live. They do it through voluntary commission donations from the agents — the agents commit a portion of each commission they receive — and by contributions from the brokerage. Through Love Your Neighbors, the brokerage has been able to help local groups such as the Tarrant Area Food Bank, the North Texas Food Bank, the Austin Street Shelter, OurCalling, Bonton Farms, and others.
So, pass the salt, pass the pepper, and pass the love: See you in the kitchen!
