As a new blogger, I am sure I will screw this up somehow but here goes. I recently joined a group to learn how to blog and blog effectively. Our first assignment is to write a blog about our business and what we do, so to complete my assignment and stay out of hot water with Cheryl, here goes.....Born in the South and the youngest of 3 I have been in sales all of my life. I can't remember the last time I made a salary. I got into Real Estate because like so many people I got hammered by a real estate agent. In this case, the Builder went under and my husband and I were left with a home in a community that had foreclosures as close as across the street and next door. The real estate agent knew this Builder was embezzling but was more interested in making money than their integrity. I'm a Broker so I do know NOW that the fiduciary responsibility was to their client (the builder) not me, but there is such a thing as disclosure of adverse material facts to all parties. So you say...OK...sorry..but what  do you do?? Believe it or not I have worked primarily with Builders almost 12 years and now I work for mostly Buyer's of new home construction as a buyers agent. We also list nearly new properties that are under 10 years old. We have a great staff. They tell me what to do and like a good manager I do it! All jokes aside, we are Atlanta Home Connections a Real Estate Brokerage that offers tremendous love and care for everyone we do business, whether we represent them or not. Everyone at our Brokerage enjoys what they do and we do it well, because we care. (even for builders) ha ha, which I still have a great relationship with (most of them). :)

Virginia - Good work.  Would you like me to write an introductory blog for/about you?  Were you invited to join by a member or like me, just stumbled upon it?
