What are you Thankful for? - 11/25/09 06:43 AM
Wow!  What a year this has been! 
As I have thought about the things that I have to be Thankful for this year, I think about those that have really suffered.  The economy has really hit some folks hard.  I don't know that I can say that I know of anyone that hasn't had to make a change in one way or another because of the state of our economy.  Being in this profession I have seen a lot of heart-ache.  I have had to help sellers to sell their homes because they were no longer able to afford their … (0 comments)

Should I List My Home During the Holidays? - 11/24/09 07:18 AM

 
I have recently had a few potential sellers ask me if they should list their home during the holidays.  My first response is "Why shouldn't you?"  Here are five reasons that I believe the holidays are a great time to list your home.

Thinking of the Veterans Today - 11/11/09 07:34 AM
Today, I woke with a sense of gratitude. Gratitude for all of the Veteran's that have sacrificed so much for me.  Without these men and women, I would not be able to sit here and enjoy the laughter of my children while they are getting ready for school, kiss my husband goodbye as he leaves for a job that he loves, or help a young couple find their first home.  Think of all the small everyday tasks that we enjoy.
We get to experience these moments because a Veteran fought for our freedom.
I ask you this... Next time you … (4 comments)
