For This Past Year I find I am so Grateful…

By
Real Estate Agent with Midwest Properties of MI - Grand Rapids

New Year's Day...Sparkling, Fresh and Clean!Looking out my picture window on the first day of the New Year I viewed a fresh white blanket of snow sparkling and clean,  what a wonderful symbolic gesture I thought to myself….I am about to start off my new year sparkling, fresh, and clean.  It made me smile.

The year of 2007 was a true year of change, new opportunities and personal growth for both me and my family, for they came along for the ride (so to speak).  What a time it was…I would not change a thing and I don’t think they would either. 

I am hopeful this letter finds you, your family and loved ones a well and that you too are looking forward to the year of 2008!  Did I really say 2008?  Amazing…truly amazing isn’t it how fast time passes?

I notice it mostly through my children…Corey a 3rd year college student and Troy now a freshman in High School, how did that happen?  I am so truly thankful and proud of my boys for they have been such a wonderful support for me, what with helping me figure the in’s and out’s on the computer along with their positive support to keep me moving forward.  I love em’ so much!

I have learned to be patient with myself while learning new things and what an enormous amount of learning I have done!  Choosing Real Estate as a career has been the very best choice for me and I get so excited about it!  Sometimes I think I need to pinch myself just to make sure I am where I am in my life.

I have had the opportunity this past year to work with both Buyer’s and Seller’s and find I enjoy both very much.  Just last week, I had a closing on a home with first time home buyers and found myself once again immersed in the excitement…it is infectious!   I have been fortunate to work in the areas of Short Sales, Lease Opportunities with a Option to Buy along with investment opportunities.  This is one career that never gets stale or boring for it is constantly providing something new…how fortunate I am.

I would like to thank everyone for their continued support and referrals for if it wasn’t for each of you I wouldn’t be where I am today so….Thankyou!  

All the Very Best to You and Yours!

As you know, the spirit of Active Rain is to help each other.  The best way that I've found is by hitting each others' website, to improve internet search rankings.  I checked out your website, and I liked the nature setting and burgandy colors.  If you have a second, please reciprocate the favor by checking out my website at http://www.southerncaliforniaappraisers.net/
