Let's be Real!!

 This is  a blog making myself real as inspired by: (Sarah Cooper -Blogging makes us real).

Let me introduce myself. My name is Duayne Weir, I grew up in a small town in Sauk Centre, Minnesota on a farm. My parents instilled in me a good work ethic, and to do things right the first time. Boy the do things right the first time has not always worked for me for I have made many mistakes and learned from everyone of them. Now the work ethic on the other hand I did get this from a young age Thank You mom and dad.

My father taught me humor  as a way to not sweat the small stuff. He was always cracking jokes and making fun of life.And he always taught me quality was better than quanity. Do things the best you can always, a little different from doing things right the first time.

I have done many things in my life that I cherish and some things I regret. Some of the things I've done that I cherish include working in youth ministry for 9 years teaching drama. I had a lot of fun doing that and learned alot from the teenagers I worked with. I'm still involved with Go Ministries I'm a senior advisor with them. I've just helped them with a purchase of a Motel in Mora Minnesota to use as housing for their yearly interns, that travel all over the U.S. and Canada ministering music and drama. The regrets I won't mention.

I Love Real Estate and investing I have been doing investing since 1985 when I was 22 years old, and interesting enough real estate investing has always been good to me unlike the stock market, which I have lost a little too much in but its does help me when I'm with a client wanting to invest in real estate. I became a licensed REALTOR in 2002. And before that I was in construction sales so it was a good fit and most of my first investors were my co-workers from that industry.

My style of working with clients is straight forward and honest, I like to have fun when showing houses my clients will attest to this, Its always good to laugh sometimes as to what you see out there and to laugh at ourselves as well. I like it to be a pleasent experience for everyone involved.

So now you all know a little more about me, Thanks to Sarah Cooper because blogging does make us more real!! Now tell me more about you!!

Good Day!! Have a cup of java and a smile on me :)

Do I get to be your first comment???  I hope so, but someone else might beat me to it because I tend to hop up and wander away from the computer a lot.  I'll try to stay put.

THANK YOU for your post!!  Great to see you introducing yourself, you did a great job of it!  Love that you talked about the good stuff you got from your parents and your work with the youth.  Forget the regrets, you can't do anything about them now anyway.

To add a link:  Click Edit under your post.  Click and drag over the words that you want to turn into a link.  Then, while they're highlighted, click on that picture of the chain in the middle of the top bar.  (Get it?  Chain?  You're making a link?  Yeah, I know, it's corny.  I didn't come up with this stuff.)  Then a box will pop up and ask you where you want that link to take people.  For this, have a second page pulled up with the place you want the link to go, highlight and copy that link, then paste it in the box.  (Remove that extra http:// that will be there if you have to.)  Then click Insert.  Voila! 

Hope that helps and I look forward to hearing more from you!

So YOU are responsible for the sale of the hotel.....

Just kidding.  It's very cool.  I am kind of bummed, since right after the sale I got a call from someone who wanted to buy it, but life goes on, you know?  We here at the office have wanted to know more about Go Ministries, though.  Is there a website that we can check out?  We try to keep on top of these things. 

 I also am very into music here in Mora, so if there's any questions about anything music related, let me know.  I teach at Encore School of Music here in Mora, and I also help at the schools sometimes, too.  It's hard transitioning into real estate.  We just had our home show up here, and about forty people recognized me as the "clarinet girl".  It's very fun.

Congrats on the sale!  If you ever need some insider info about Mora or you need help with anything up here, let us know!  It's a great town, that's for sure!
