Free Coffee!

So who doesn't love free coffee? I am one of those people that can only drink one cup a day or I will shake like a leaf all day. That includes even some decaff coffees! It drives my husband nuts because I have to have a nice hot cup in the morning and I will still be drinking it around noon! He always wants to give me less, which I think is unfair, as I like the feeling of holding a full cup of hot coffee. So what is my point you are wondering? WAWA off of Warrenton Road is giving away free coffee today to celebrate their anniversary! Go enjoy some! You might find me shaking down the aisle getting my second cup afterall!

I'll see you in Disney World!

I was discussing scheduling an open house with one of my clients today and we were trying to figure out what weekend would be better to do it. After talking about the snow storm we are supposed to get this weekend, we decided next weekend would be better. We discussed how we would both be out of town that weekend and that another agent from my office would be sitting the open house. We never said where we were both going to be, we just laughed how Murphy's Law will most likely kick in and while we are both out of state we will receive an offer (well, maybe that is just both of us thinking positively!) A couple hours later he sent me an e-mail and mentioned that the trip he and his family are taking is to Florida. I sent him one right back (gotta love Blackberries!) and said, "Hey! I will be there too!" He then sent me another one saying that he will be in Disney World that Sunday. I couldn't believe it because I will be there that very same day!

It never ceases to amaze me how real estate follows me where ever I go! It is a universal phenomenan, meaning that everyone everywhere is interested in it! I have a real estate friend that recently moved to Georgia and offered for us to stay whenever we come through. I have another friend in Florida that has referred me several times and has offered for us to stay there as well! I love real estate and am so thankful for the friends it has helped me make over the years! It is still a Small World Afterall!

Welcome to my blog! I am so excited to share my adventures in real estate with you! Over the last bunch of years, I have had so many wonderful, hillarious, touching, frustrating and emotional experiences dealing with my amazing clients and their home buying and selling endeavours. Real estate is so much more than buying and selling houses! It is a young couple deciding where they are going to settle down and start their family. It is a family being relocated for employment purposes. It is someone deciding to invest. It is someone who has to buy or sell due to a change in family or financial status. At the end of the day, it is not about the houses, or the market, or the loan or anything else that has to do with real estate. It is about the people. And in my case, my experiences with them!

There is no job quite like being a Realtor. When you are a Realtor, it is a family affair. The only way you can truly be successful and take care of both your family and your work repsonsibilites is to, at times, blend the two together. I have been incredibly blessed with a husband that supports me like no other, two beautiful boys that are learning real estate at a very young age and a very special Mom who helps me both at the office and at home! I hope you enjoy all of our adventures and truly get to see what real estate is all about!
