Exploring the intersections of real estate, culture, and storytelling—uncovering the narratives shaping our lives, our communities, and the economy.
Here, you'll find musings on the homes we build, the stories we tell, and the communities we create. From market insights to cultural curiosities, from profiles of local heroes to reflections on creativity, this is a space where real estate meets real life.
And yes, every now and then, we might stumble upon a Bigfoot sighting or something equally unexpected—because life’s more fun when we leave room for mystery.
Stay up-to-date
You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of COFFEE WITH STEVE goes directly to your inbox.
And we build a lot of content!
On the first of the month, you’ll recieve a mini-personal essay a bit in the style of Robert Fulghum’s All I Really Need To Know I Learned in Kindergarten—blending humor, heart, and a touch of life’s quiet wisdom. Think of it as a friendly chat over coffee, with shades of Erma Bombeck’s wit, Anne Lamott’s introspection, or Mitch Albom’s poignant storytelling. I probably won’t live up to any of those people, but you get the idea.
The Monday Blueprint is your weekly guide to staying ahead. Each Monday, I break down what happened in the economy and stock market in the prior week, talk about what you should watch for in the week ahead, and why all of it matters.
On Tuesdays, I send out a #GratiTuesday exercise designed to take no more than ten minutes. These simple yet meaningful prompts are crafted to help you cultivate gratitude, refocus your mindset, and bring a little extra positivity to your week.
The weekly Friday Footnote delivers an in-depth real estate market report alongside The Wicked Moxie—a series of stories celebrating local heroes, hidden gems, and the vibrant culture of the Seacoast region, hosted on my personal website. You’ll also find a link to the House of the Week, a curated list of things to do, fascinating finds from around the web, and a roundup of even more engaging content.
And Sometimes, Even More
Coffee With Steve is also a space for exploration, so don’t be surprised if you see:
Essays like This Pizza Is Bullshit, diving into life’s absurdities with humor and sharp cultural critique.
Book reviews that unpack thought-provoking ideas.
Complimentary course materials for online classes I’m developing.
And, frankly, whatever else sparks curiosity or needs to be shared.
This extra content will never follow a strict rhythm, but that’s part of the fun. It’s about chasing ideas, telling stories, and connecting over the things that matter.
