richmond va real estate: Keeping My Littlest Clients Happy
- 05/15/14 12:08 AM
We often have surprise children visitors in our First Home Mortgage office in Richmond, VA and I’ve found they aren’t amused with conversations about interest rates, tax returns, bank statements, and letters of explanation—go figure! So, I decided to create a Bucket O' Fun for them where I’ve put in all the go-to items: coloring books, crayons, bubbles, go-fish, and stickers.

Two weeks ago I had a real … (10 comments)

My first car was a 1979 hunter green Volvo (circa 1998). I loved it! Sure, I had to keep one foot on the gas and one on the brake at stop lights so that it wouldn’t cut off because it idled so low, but it had a brand new paint job and a cassette player which was all that mattered to me at the time. When I graduate from college, landed my first job, and lived rent free with my grandparents, I decided to get a new car. Since I had so few living expenses, I decided to buy a BMW. My husband (fiancé at the time) talked me out … (6 comments)
