You may have caught us live earlier at Modern Greek and Salad Bar in Downtown Dearborn. The patio is super cute but ohhhh so cold! So we both warmed up inside with a nice cup of their deliciously creamy mushroom soup! Guys, it’s to die for. Next up Jasmine had the Chicken Skillet with orzo, mushrooms, spinach and fresh veggies. Benjamin had an amazing steak wrap! Make sure to stop by next time you’re riding down Michigan Ave!

📚 Definition time! Today’s lexicon is “escrow”

Escrow is a super common word in real estate because it’s essential.

An escrow is a legal arrangement where a third party temporarily holds the property or deposit until a specific condition has been met of the home-buying process.

The reason why escrow is important is that it:

1️⃣ Protects the homeowner’s home until all conditions are met on the buyer’s side
2️⃣ Protects the buyer’s deposit until all conditions are completed

🎃 Fall is here – and most of us are looking for some great fall fun ideas! We’ve done our homework, and put together our list of the Top 5 Pumpkin Patches in our area for you to check out!

Here they are:

1. Blake's Orchard, Armada, MI - Come for the pumpkins, stay for the apple picking, cider, goats, and haunted hay rides.

2. Wiard's Orchard, Ypsilanti, MI - Head to Ypsi to this family farm and pumpkin patch that’s been around since 1837! In addition to u-pick apples and pumpkins, there’s also a cider mill, hay rides, petting farm, and haunted corn maze.

3. DeBuck's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch, Belleville, MI - This farm in Belleville has a 15-acre corn maze and 20-acre pumpkin patch. There’s also a hay ride, sunflower farm, and country kitchen with donuts, cider, and other snacks.

4. Kackleberry Farms, Monroe, MI - This year’s maze at Monroe’s Kackleberry Farms is not a game — it’s based on games. An ode to Mario, Donkey Kong, and Pac-Man, Kackleberry Farms is giving us life — or lives, if you’re lucky — with their 12-acre 2020 maze, which can be completed at night with flashlights and some help from the farm’s Corn Cops. If you want to steer clear of the maize patrol, the farm offers hayrides, bonfires, games, and Nana’s Pumpkin Patch, where you can pluck your favorite pump.

5. Calder Dairy and Farm, Carleton, MI- While not a "pumpkin patch" this is still a must visit! This REAL WORKING FARM is open to the public 7 days a week, all year long!

P.S. Add your fave’s to our list by letting us know below! 👇
