We're Back Playing In The Rain Again!!

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Southern Shores

 

     Well, we are finally back in the rain again.  We took a 3 week hiatus from the rain for multiple reasons.  To all of our friends here on the AR network that checked in with us to see what was wrong, we really appreciate it.  Thanks to you all. 
     Now..why were gone?  There are a few reasons....
-As some of you know, Kristin and I have a daughter who was celebrating her very first Christmas this year.  So, we were very busy preparing for that. 
-We also had some computers that were trying to take some time off for the holidays..so we replaced them.  We had to replace a laptop and a desktop.  Luckily Santa had some extra computers for us!
-Kristin fractured her wrist, so I have been relegated to more of a Mr. Mom role.  This is actually working out pretty good because I can turn our daughter into more of a "daddy's girl" since we are spending so much quality time together!
-We have switched companies.  We thought long and hard about this, but we decided that the best thing for us to was leave RE/MAX Palmetto Properties.  We are now with Eagle Realty.  It was really tough leaving a big name company (especially since we really loved working for RE/MAX) for a smaller company, but it was a decision that we had to make.  Switching companies is a lot of work and is very time consuming (especially this time of year!). 
     Now that all of this is behind us, we are ready to splash around in the rain again.  We will not be back full force yet as we still have some things to finish up (signs, letterhead, marketing materials, etc.), but we are back nonetheless.  Again, thanks to all of you that checked in with us.
     We look forward to interacting with all of you again.  Have a safe and happy new year!

Welcome back...I trust you've thoroughly spoiled the baby and that Kristin's wrist is healing well!  I can relate to the change company issue...been there, done that!

Welcome back and nice to meet you.  I am a home stager in Charleston, but my company, Renewed Rooms, also has a division in Myrtle Beach and I get to head up there often.  Good Luck in the New Year!

Mary-  You are correct..she is spoiled already!  Kristin's wrist seems to be healing right now.  She goes back for a follow up next week to determine if she will need surgery or not.  Thanks for stopping by.

Bob-  Thanks for the welcome back!  You're right, it is not any fun at all for her right now.  Luckily, it seems to be getting better though.  At least the pain has diminished some!  Have a safe and happy new year.

We do offer training in Myrtle Beach for Realtors and will be offering classes in Charleston soon.  Thank you for asking! It is wonderful when agents and stagers can work together to get a house sold.  I think 2008 is going to be a great year for everyone.

Hi David...

It's good to know you're back.

I have also been MIA. To be honest with you I've been enjoying the break.

It's good for us to step away when life calls us out. I see you know that.

Please tell Kristin I said "ROAR" and to get well soon.

Also, let her know that if she plays her cards right she can nurse the fractured wrist for months :)

Something along the lines of "But Honey...It still hurts an awful lot" :)

Good luck with the new company and happy new to you both.

TLW...ROAR!

TLW- I really did enjoy the break as well.  It's good to get away sometimes, no matter what the reason is!  I will pass on your "ROAR" to Kristin.  I think she has already figured out how to take full advantage of this for a while!  Remember what they say about payback though!
