Life can be a funny thing.

 I have always considered myself a "city girl."  I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would ever live on a farm.  And, a proposed blueberry farm was never even a remote thought!

 Yes, life can be a funny thing and I am living on a farm!  It is not far from our home in a neighborhood, which I will be putting up for sale in the next day or so. 

 Living on or near a beach, now that I have imagined and dreamed about most of my life. 

 My grand son has a whole different perspective and to him the farm is all he thinks about and he truly loves it!  He sings songs about tractors and farms!  He loves the gator and thinks that all there is in life is riding the tractor and going to The Farm! 

 Through the eyes of a child I am learning that life is about the simple things!

The Facebook Phenomenon.  How much sharing is too much? 

Sure, sharing is a good thing, but just how much about yourself should be blasted all over Facebook or on the

Internet for that matter?  How safe am I in Owensboro, Kentucky?  How safe are you where you live? 

Is anyone really safe?

I have been reading how some have been stalked since posting on the Facebook and it makes you start

wondering about what is really safe.  Apparently there are a lot of unstable people out there that will stop short 

of nothing. 

Should we be putting a little more thought into those things that we make public knowledge?

I for one, have gone into Facebook and changed my settings so that they are more private and not as easily

accessible to those that don't need to know. Everyone should revisit their settings on Facebook.

But, is that really enough?  How much sharing is too much?  After all,

everyone wants to feel safe at home..................

So sad that Juli has a good friend having to deal with stage four breast cancer!

I just wanted to pass this on for others to see so that they may make up one of these survival kits.  

They are meant to uplift someone with cancer or even someone that could be just going through some hard times that may need to know that someone truly cares about them and went to the time and trouble to do this to boost their spirits!

Let's try to put others first this holiday season!

An open Letter to Owensboro Kentucky Home Buyers, are "we" a good fit?

This is from a conversation I have recently had with my potential buyers.

Thanks for emailing me again and for looking at another beautiful Owensboro, Kentucky home with me.

You stated that you are in no hurry to buy and are going to wait for the right home to come available.

It think that it is perfect that you can and want to take your time and wait for the right home.

I can't blame you at all! You so deserve that privilege!

There is absolutely no hurry and I do not mind if it takes you a long time to find that perfect home in Owensboro Kentucky.

Half the fun is in looking and searching!  

But, I do have some important questions for you now.   In order for our relationship to flourish I need to know a few things.

As you are getting the home information that I am sending by email, or if you see any signs at homes for sale,(even if they aren't mine) and have any questions and want to get inside any homes, would you be willing to call only me if you want to see any?  It really needs to be a reciprocal relationship. 

It would be great if you would commit to me and allow me the honor and the privilege of working with you both and to be your Realtor.  It would be in your best interest to do so.

It will go both ways as well. 

I would be willing to contact you immediately if I should come up with something else that may be of interest to you.  I really do go over and above for my clients and put my heart and soul into servicing them.  I always put your needs first and foremost.

I have found that picking and choosing my clients keeps me focused and allows me to provide remarkable service to them. You picking and choosing your own Realtor in Owensboro Ky is a very important decision. But, you really so need to commit to just one Agent.  It doesn't have to be me.  But, pick just one and stick with one that you feel comfortable with and trust.  Buying or selling a home is a huge undertaking and one of your biggest investments of time and energy as well as money.

I would be happy to provide you with some recent references.  Simply call, text or email me!

In case you don't already know, I feel as if I should share some information about myself to help with your big decision. 

I am a Broker with 12 years of experience. 

I had my own Real Estate company for 7 years in TN.

I have been working in Real Estate since 1998.

I  married my high school sweetheart. I am a mother to four grown and well adapted children. I am the proudest grandmother in the world to two of the most beautiful grand children in the whole wide world!

I also am a RN and I have 20 years of sales and marketing experience.

Higher end homes are my specialty and the Internet is my focus, as that is where the buyers are! 

If you are a buyer, isn't that why you are here reading this blog?

Did you know that as of this writing that almost 90% of buyers begin their search on the Internet?

Also, if you would want to know more about me and my internet presence, please feel free to go and google Vickie McCartney when you get a chance.

So now that I have revealed information about me, and 

now that we have met and worked a little together, May I ask you a very important question?

Do I seem like someone you would want to choose to be your Realtor? 

I feel like we would be a good fit, but I have learned the hard way not to assume anything. 

It is possible that I may not be at all what you are looking for in a Realtor. 

I am up front and honest with people and I am looking for the same. 

I  would love for you both to be my clients and for me to be your Realtor. 

I wouldn't want either of us to be wasting our time! 

I pick and choose who I work with, and YOU need to too!

So, I am just wondering, are we are a good fit?

Sincerely,

Vickie McCartney,Realtor

Feel free to call, text or email me with any questions!

I would love for you to ask any single one of them!
