WHAT WE HAVE DONE FOR OURSELVES ALONE DIES WITH US - WHAT WE DO FOR OTHERS IS IMMORTAL

What We Have Done For Ourselves Alone Dies With Us- What We Do For Others is Immortal

As service industry specialist in the area of Real Estate, we orchestrate wonderful things for perfect strangers. Contrary to all the negative comments from disgruntled people regarding Real Estate Agents, our hearts are in the right place. I have been through weddings, divorces, births, and death with my clients. I have seen them happy, sad, broke, prosperous, employed and unemployed. I have seen them healthy, and I have seen them ill.

My clients become more than business acquaintances, many have become very dear to me. One couple who I secretly refer to as "My Kids", experienced my fussing over them like a mother hen when helping them purchase their first two homes. I watched their children grow from toddlers, to pre-high school-er, and soon to be high schoolers.

I have another family who I am also very fond of, and genuinely am happy to hear from when they call just to say hello. It warms my heart when they ask of my family by name, one by one. It let's me know they care enough to remeber that my father has cancer, or that my son is a Chef, they care enough to ask of my husband, and lastly to ask how I am doing. To them, I am more than the lady that helped them purchase a home. I am their friend.

I have helped many people with different nationalities, different educational backgrounds, different religions, and different political views than me. However, there is always a common bond that transcends any culture, or politcal differences; that bond is genuine respect, and admiration.

So I can honestly say, that I am Proud to be a REALTOR, the rewards are greater than any commission, my greatest reward is that I can honestly say, my clients are truly friends and have become a part of my extended family.

LEISURE WORLD - 55+ COMMUNITY

A few years ago, I talked my parents into moving from the cold snow belt in Indiana to the sunny skies of Arizona. My father who incidentally did not want to move because he enjoyed "THE CHANGE OF SEASONS" made the move reluctantly until he got here and then decided that it was the best move he ever made.



Personally, I really could not find the joy in three layers of sweaters, a fir lined coat, two layers of pants, three layers of socks, inside my fir lined boots and a pair of gloves inside my mittens, all of this just to go to the grocery store to get a gallon of milk.



Now if you live in the Phoenix metro area, you don't know what I am talking about; but if you live in Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Missouri the Dakotas, and Canada - you can relate.
In Phoenix, we have residents who live in Leisure World only during certain months, we call them snowbirds; they fly to Leisure World during the winter months, and fly to the other home during the summer months.




Where are you flying to Frank?






To Relax at Leisure World for the Winter months!




I personally can not think of a better way to enjoy all the seasons than we do in the diverse state called Arizona. In the high country, Flagstaff, Pinetop, even Sedona, you can enjoy the fall leaves turning against the blue skies, dotted with puffy white clouds with with a hint of color from the reflection of the sun, as well as breathtaking mountain views with snow capped mountains in the very near distance. Additionally at the same time, you can enjoy flowers blooming in Phoenix in the winter months.



Leisure World has many amenities: Tennis courts, basketball courts, billiards, swimming pools, lawn bowling leagues, travel clubs, computer training on site, wood workshop for those who like to make furniture, card rooms with bridge tournaments, travel club, photography club, in house movie theater, state of the art exercise rooms, dance, and yoga, classes and more.

HGTV Ideas Newsletter - July 8, 2009

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to read my Blog. My relationship with my clients and customers goes beyond the sale; I love helping them turn their houses into homes. Adding color through accents can change the personality of your living space. Colorful walls, pillows, rugs, throws are wonderful ways to give a room the punch needed to turn dull rooms to outstanding rooms.

Please enjoy the newsletter, and please don't forget me when you are looking to purchase a home, office, business or land - I am only a call or click away.
