There’s nothing quite like that first sip of a cold drink on a sunny patio.

Here are seven local favorites where you can sip, snack, and enjoy the season.

Why Patios Matter to Me

Patios are where I celebrate closings, catch up with buyers and sellers, or just take a breather after a big day. There’s something about the fresh air, good food, and laughter that makes these moments extra special. Next time you see me on a patio, it might just be because we’re toasting to your new home!
