Rockin' the Suburbs... Oh YES, we are!

Rockin' the Suburbs... Oh YES, we are!  I just returned from NAR's mid-year legislative conference in Washington DC and what a busy week it was.  My Realtor buddies and I stormed the Capitol sharing important  talking points with our Congressmen on why Homeownership Matters!  But that wasn't the fun part...

There were 13,985 Realtors that attended the Rally to Protect the American Dream last Thursday at the Washington Monument in DC.  It was a sunny day with beautiful blue skies, and the landscape of Realtors in blue shirts provided a sea of solidarity.  We were rockin' the suburbs of Washington DC and propagating the message that Homeownership Matters!

I've attended many NAR Conferences in my thirteen years of being a Realtor, and I can honestly say that I've taken away something positive each time and have used it in my business.  The sessions are always packed with a plethora of interesting topics and there's never a dull moment.  It also provides an opportunity to get a pulse on real estate happenings from fellow colleagues around the country... assuring you that you're still alive, or perhaps ready to be buried in the next wave of things ;)))

I enjoyed a walking tour of General Washington's beautiful estate at Mt Vernon.  Our first President was quite the entrepreneur.  I also visited the Holocaust Museum, which was a very gut-wrenching experience... I literally felt sick to my stomach thinking about the horrendous things we humans do to other humans... I was truly at a loss for words and still am.  

Every time I renew, replenish and refuel my spirit, I feel energized to continue blazing a path on my Realtor trail.  There's no doubt about it... I'm a true optimist, and I'm thoroughly excited about what the future holds for you and me and real estate.  We're Rockin' the Suburbs... Oh YES, we are!
