There is a time for everything: a personal note from my favorite Jacksonville FL Realtor

By
Real Estate Agent with Your Choice Real Estate

We think, we search, we explore Jacksonville FL real estate.  And I sometimes get lost in the Why, the Where, the How, and how quickly time goes by.

My Facebook friend Tonya has transcended time.  She has been fighting a battle of health and has recently shaved her head.  She is beautiful, and I am in awe.  I am inspired to be a better person, a better parent, a better Realtor, a better wife. 

I am in awe.  I am struck with the knowledge that this moment, regardless of who or where we are, can be our last.  I am shocked by the realization that this is our time.  And that time is not endless.  And that to live like time is endless is a waste of that very gift--the gift of time.

I am in awe.  I want to view every sunset and see the sunrise.  I want to explore the why in all new things.  i want to know why little, petty, things seem so important--when in reality they are not.  I want to look back at the end of my day and say 'job well done', and mean it.  I am in awe of this moment, and I do not want to let it go!

And now the real estate part, after all, it's what we are here for.  Buy that house.  Just do it.  Never-mind the rates are historically low, or that there is that tax incentive.  Forget about the low, low pricing.  Do it because it will be your moment to own.  Because in that moment, in the rain, at sunrise, at sunset, in the warm Florida summer it will be yours to enjoy.  Yours.  You will own that moment, and that home

And for the sellers.  Sell.  If you need to, if you want to, and if you can.  Worry less about recouping your 'investment' and work toward what will make you happy.  Happy is not a 'ba-jillion' days on market at a crazy high price.  Happy is quick(er), easier, and swift to move on.  View the sunset where you want to be, not where you have to be.

I am in awe.  And I hope this feeling will last forever.  And I hope that it transcends all the day to day junk that we go through.  I am in awe, and it is good.

Good night, and God bless-----
