Client Appreciation Luncheon

I had a great time, as always, at my client appreciation party. My 2022 buyers and sellers were invited to have a fabulous lunch prepared by Mike Gunn at Vivace Ristorante in Belmont. If you haven’t been, I hope you do go soon. You might have noticed me featuring them on my Instagram and Facebook feeds recently as well. Besides a fabulous regular menu, Vivace’s has a lot of special events, including wine pairings and special dinners (and a raging Halloween party!). Again, I really hope you will check them out. Tell Mike I sent you.

I’ve had a long relationship with Vivace, starting when Michael worked as a professor down the road at Notre Dame de Namur University. Mike has always been very supportive of the school, and has been very helpful to me as well. He opens up on a Sunday lunch just to cater my party. How special is that! 


The menu selections were delicious (thank you Arrick!), and they always do an outstanding job with service. The smiles around the room prove that everyone is enjoying themselves-including the kiddos. 


Want to be invited to this party? I do this event annually for my buyers and sellers from the previous year, plus anyone who’s given me a referral during the year. Please note, the referral contest rules are always on the bottom of my newsletters!

I know you don’t give me referrals to win a prize. Each referral is very special to me. I recognize that you are trusting me with a very important transaction for your friends, colleagues or loved ones. I am exceptionally grateful that my business has become increasingly based on referrals and past clients. But I do like to do something fun to reward you for that trust. This luncheon, and the referral contest, are just a small token of my appreciation for your business throughout the years!
