Gosh -- what a wonderful welcome!  You guys are a great new family circle for me!   Thanks to my fellow agent Verity Mora for referring me to Acitve Rain.

So I'm totally new to blogging and only 6 wks in real estate, but just wrote my first P & S that I expect to go through!!!  We've had a few offers back and forth and we are on the same page, but I'm just keeping on top of it until it get signed around then closed!!!!!  I'm not new to life though, so expect some interesting posts from me as I get going. 

 I've practiced dentistry (as a dentist) for over 18 years, been a general contractor (high end custom home-- pool, sauna, lots of crown, specialty features...., taught Argentine Tango, competed in Country Western dance (went to World Championships in Nashville-- well novice level, but I went!!!), and finished an MBA with focus in Organizational Development.  So like I said -- expect some interesting stuff after we get past the get acquainted pleasantries! 

So I'm excited-- oooh so excited!!  My first deal is close and I fully expect it to close!!  AND IT'S MY BIRTHDAY -- A PRESENT TO MYSELF!!!

Signing off for now.

Hey Karen, I am glad you made it. This is the coolest place for great advice, a warm support group and gosh knows how much moral support. Every one is seriously helpful!

Check out Yvonne Brown. She is a partner in crime (we are the "golfers" agents) and she is absolutely wonderful. If you take a cruise through the public site and you type in Vancouver... she is everywhere! She is also one of the nicest people I have met in this business.

I hope you do well, and CONGRATS on your closing. Happy Birthday to boot!

Oh.. guess whi is #2 in her office 2 months in a row??? Yay! I am having so much fun!
