Real Estate for Returning Veterans

I recently returned from a deployment overseas. As I get back into today's market I am excited for those Veterans that are looking for a new home. Our Veterans are experiencing more support and benefits than ever. The new GI Bill has been upgraded, and pay increases jumped over three percent in 2009. A pay increase is scheduled for this upcoming January, and because of this I am sure that there will be more military members and Veterans looking for a home.

As Veterans Day approaches, make sure to thank those that you know who have served as I am sure that they will truly appreciate it.

Jim: I have attached a photo I took at the USA Wresting Nationals in Sioux City, Iowa in 2006. In addition to being a Real Estate Broker in Beautiful Arizona, I donate my photography skills to shoot the athletes competing for the Olympic and National teams. I looked over my shoulder as the national anthem was played and our men in uniform were remembered. It was the most solemn and poignant moment of event. Thought you might like to know you were remembered when you were serving.

I think and it was suggested that each returning Vetern recieve a foreclosed home of their choosing. I wonder what ever happened to that idea.

Jim, thank you for serving and welcome back. Also welcome to Coldwell Banker Mt. West. I have been with CBMW in Silverton for 10 years now. I also worked with Matt Williams in the past, and I remember he mentioned your name with a different company. Matt was my recruiting assistant years ago. I look forward to meeting you in person.
