I read something today on another sales agent's blog.  The profound question that the agent threw out there was...."How do we convince our clients (a buyer) to buy a home.  That "now" is the best time?"   Well guess what the answer was?  "We don't convince our clients to purchase a home"!!  It's not our job to convince anyone to make such a huge choice.  It's the clients.  They need to know what is best for them and what is the right time for them to consider home-ownership.  My job is to "step in" when the decision has been made... to purchase a home and we go forward together on their journey of home-ownership.  Karen

Memorial Day-Weekend

It is Memorial Day Weekend ...lots of us have a long weekend, some of us have a very long weekend, and then still some of us........well we work this weekend.  It's a good thing no complaints here.  Allow us to help you find your new home this summer!  Blessings and enjoy this weekend with family and friends, with appreciation for your brave men and women who serve this great nation.

Outdoor Spaces

Here we are, the "out-doors" season has arrived.  We come out of our "caves" our homes and enter into the outside world.  What beauty to behold in our very own back yards.  Ok so your yard is not so beautiful, well, you can fix that.  It can be a simple fix,.. its up to you.  Do you have a vision for your back and or front yard?  If not there are plenty of sites to visit on the web or buy a book ,(you remember what books are), in you Home Depot store or local book store.  Start simple....that's the key.  Create a small area first for sitting to enjoy the scenery.   Put up bird feeders, and bird baths.  Plant a small garden of flowers easy to care for.  Each year add to the area.  You will get more ideas and creative as you begin your "out-doors' area.  A porch, a screened in porch, patio area are wonderful outside escapes for us to venture to and simply breath in the air and rest a moment.

Spring is in the air.

You can feel it for sure this week.  Actually it's summer temps out there now.  It will get back into the mid 50's they say by the weekend....Its 70 something right now and 80's tommorow.  Wow, take this time if you can to get jump started on your yard work.  I know we've had lots of rain and many are taking care of any water issues they may have expierenced.  My heart goes out to those who expierenced any kind of damage due to flooding issues.  This is something that only happens every 50 to 100 years the weather folks tell us.  If you are able begin on getting the yard fixed up after a long winter.....by all means do so.  Leaves raked up, porches swept and spruced up allows you to begin to enjoy your "out-door" living areas sooner.  Prune back those plantings so they blossem beautifuly this Summer and Fall.  Refresh your mulch, and put your yard decor (plant hangers, bird houses lawn furniture) out now and enjoy your yard.  You may find later that your picket fence needs a fresh coat of paint or the porch.  Do that later as a project when the warm weather stays.

March 14th

Well this Sunday is March 14th.  This is when we set AHEAD our clocks.  Yes we loose an hour, but we get more of an evening to enjoy.  Before we know it....it will be light out still at 7:30pm. I know it does not seem like it now but just you wait the Spring ushers in those long Summer days to come.  Enjoy this Spring I intend too.  So set those clocks AHEAD this Saturday night, but mentally.....jump into Spring!!

Oh another thing about March 14th, it's my Birthday!!!
