If using DocuSign affords me three extra hours a week (and I don’t see how it won’t) then I would spend the time with my family and friends. In the real estate business we neglect the people we love too often. We work weekends when they are home. When I take off a half day on Wednesday they are working. I would add the 3 hours to Saturday afternoon so that I can still show homes early in the day but still have time for my family.

It is already winter and I never really got to set up my deck for last summer. I never even had a barbeque or ate dinner outside. This job takes over every spare moment of your life. When you are not with clients, you are preparing for or following up with them. When not with clients, we are staring at the computer!

 We only seem to see friends and family when we are invited for the obligatory  holiday or birthday. It would be nice to see them for an impromptu get together or just go to the movies. I could also use it to take my dog on longer walks. I always seem to rush him when he just wants to sniff and check out the neighborhood.

Make this a Warmer Winter for Neighbors in Need!!

The goal of the 16th Annual Jersey Cares Coat Drive is to collect and distribute 50,000 “gently used” winter coats to at-risk men, women, children and infants. 

Over the past fifteen years, Jersey Cares has collected, sorted and distributed thousands of winter coats to New Jersey residents in need through this program.

Companies, churches, police stations, schools and other organizations collect coats throughout the drive. 

Volunteers then sort the donated coats and bag them for pick-up. Agency recipients schedule their pick-up and distribute the coats to those in need.                      

If you have a coat to donate, bring it  between November 1^st through December 1th to Manalapan Township Town Hall. The hours are Monday-Friday 9:00 am-5:00 pm.

Alternatively, I am happy to pick up any coats from Manalapan Residents if you can't get over there.   Please call me at 732-580-7893 to arrange a date for pickup.
