I arrived back in my home town last night after 8 months building a web presence for a company in Dallas Texas. I learned so much from the good people of Texas, both the good and the bad. I learned that real estate is hard work these days, when it wasn’t always this hard. I learned what worked before, does not come close to working now. I learned that circling yourself with talented, smart, hard working real estate people is the way to grow. I also learned it’s opposite, having people who aren’t working hard and aren’t staying up to date around you is debilitating and you need to make a change. I did.
Milton Massachusetts is the boyhood home of George Bush, not the Dallas W, but his father who grew up here. It is the town right south of Boston, west of Quincy, north of Canton and East of Dedham and Roslindale. It is an incredibly big area for a town in the Northeast and encompasses a great deal of small pockets of differing neighbors. Milton, at one point, had more Irish Catholic people living in it’s homes than many places in Ireland. As this aging population begins to change the new people moving in are attracted to the tight community, the closeness to Boston, the ease of the commute into the city compared to coming in from the west or north. The schools are good and getting back to the days when it was truly a great school system. There is a lot to say about my home town here.
Over the next couple of weeks I am going to introduce you to the people and places of Milton and the areas around Boston. As I did in Dallas, I will search out some of the best minds working in real estate and interview them. I want to share here all the great things that make a community work. As you know, I won’t shy away from the things that, in my opinion, can use some work. I will be tireless in bringing you need and useful information.
I live in humble appreciation for all the help and assistance I got from the professional community in Dallas. I will take their unique and focused spirit to my work here far from Texas physically, but close to my heart spiritually. Dallas and the people in Texas are people of strongly held beliefs and willing to open up and share their knowledge with yo. I am grateful for my time with these people and know that we will stay in touch and continue to grow as the years go on. I will continue with my license in Texas because it remains one of the few bright spots in our national real estate landscape. I still have properties on the market in the area and have daily interaction with so many wonderful people. Thank you.
