My Top 10 Moments of 2015

By
Real Estate Agent with LoKation Real Estate 3087750

After reading several Rainers Top 10 Moments of 2015, I was inspired by Hannah Williams to try to come up with 10 myself for Karen Fiddler, Broker/Owner 's contest.

 

1.  Richard and I moved to a house again after taking care of my mother.  It feels great.

2.  Happy that I am entering this next chapter with Richard by my side.

3. Buttons, my older dog, who was so sick with a MRSA-type of infection in her paws a couple of months ago, is feeling perky and happier than ever since the move.  She's like a puppy again and has become my walking partner. 

4. My son Ian recently turned 35.  Where did the time go?

5. Went to Vegas and spent time with Ian.  I got to see Vegas as a local and ate in some great restaurants.  Thank you Ian!

6. Very grateful we are all in basically good health.

7. Thankful for the wonderful clients I worked with this year, many who became and will remain friends.

8. Reconnected with old friends I grew up with.  Such a good feeling after so many years!

9. Realized that life is short and the time to do it is now.

10.  I am working on losing those pounds I gained and am down about 16 thus far.

Elyse immediately ‘got’ us


We found Elyse on-line after working with another realtor that was not helping us find what we wanted. Elyse immediately ‘got’ us and showed us the right properties while providing encyclopedic knowledge of neighborhoods, dog restrictions, lifestyle options and benefits/trade offs between one house/neighborhood and the other. Elyse consistently provided important information at every stage of our process. As out-of-towners this was essential to our making the right decision. We couldn’t be happier or more grateful to Elyse for everything she’s done. Elyse is a rare combination of being a true subject matter expert and, more importantly, a genuinely caring person who looks after her people.

Sounds like a very good year all in all, Elyse. From your picture sure doesn't look like you need to lose weight! I, too, have been reconnecting with old friends in the past year or so and it's such a pleasure. Social media is so helpful in this regard.

Elyse Berman, PA

Nina Hollander Honestly, if I open my eyes in the morning, it's a good day.  You're very kind.  That picture was taken a couple of months prior to my parents coming down with terminal illnesses a few years ago.  Glad to hear you are reconnecting with old friends too.

He Elyse, congratulations on your move, great to hear everyone is in good health, that is the most important for sure. Losing 16lbs is a great accomplishment, we all know gaining weight is piece of cake..loosing..not so much!

Beth Atalay Thanks.  Gaining weight is easy, too easy and very hard to stop.  Losing is hard but must be done.  I'm working on it!  Wishing you much happiness and success in this new year!

This is enjoyable reading, Elyse. I forget sometimes that you're from the same area as me. What type of business did Richard have on Atlantic? I, also, have a family member who lives in Vegas and I get out there once in a while. It's a cool town - but I like it better for vacation.

Jill Sackler Thank you and it was so enjoyable talking to you the other day.  Stay safe and plan a trip to Florida soon!

I just read your Profile, Elyse Berman, Boca Raton, FL!  I enjoyed reading your "Top Moments of 2015" also, and you truly have alot to be thankful for . . .  so nice that you were able to care for your Mom (we cared for my Mom for 5-1/2 years, and it was a Journey!), lost 16 pounds (really?  you didn't need to!), got to visit with your son (how special is that!), and are a dog lover (we've had 5 dogs in our married life and they all took a piece of my heart, but I would definitely have #6, if Roger agreed!).  I'm very interested in Following you!!

Hi Allie Angeloni Seems we have a lot in common.  How nice you were able to take that journey with your Mom.  16 lbs, yes but I gained 30 taking during that time.  So happy to hear you are a dog lover!  Every one I've ever had has taken a piece of my heart.  Nice to meet you here in the Rain!
