Celebrate 'Your' Independence Too!
July 4th, 1776 is a momentous day in history for all FREE Country's across the Globe - AND so is the day we buy our own home!!! Owning Real Estate, especially your own home, is a sure fire Celebration of Independence.
In today's market, many home owners really want to make a move, but are finding themselves in a catch 22 - whether to sell first or buy first. They don't want to end up getting stuck owning two homes or non at all. I am sure you will join me in saying we can't blame them. I also believe that you agree with me on this; home ownership is good for ALL.
The more who can buy a home, the more who can sell a home, the more our economy benefits. And as John F. Kennedy said, "A rising tide lifts all boats."
Over the last few years of selling real estate, I have been able to develop and successfully implement a program that allows me to guarantee the sale of a property. Yep, you re. ...

Mother Always Said You Should...
My Mom used to tell me repeatedly to do this and do that, not to do this and not to do that. ALL, I recall, very valuable advice. Looking back on it, I can say she was, and still is, a very wise woman.
Time reveals, in fact, just about every caring Mother is a Wise Woman. I can see why we carve out a special day each year to acknowledge Mothers. So here is a shout out to all Mom's - Happy Mother's Day!
Unfortunately, my Mom's Mom is no longer here. I am sure that makes her very sad this time of year. i am sure some reading this can relate and have similar stories. For ALL those whose Mom is no longer with us, may you remember the best about them. In addition to that, there are also many who never knew their Mom due to unfortunate circumstance. I bet someone played that roll in their life and they too deserve a Happy Mother's Day!
Regardless, we can celebrate this Mothers Day knowing . ...

Tax Day - Ugh!!
I recently read where we were working Jan. 1 through June 30th of each year, just to pay all of our taxes. After that, you keep all you make. Prior to that, 100% goes to the government in some form or fashion to pay for some kind of government worker, work program, social program, defense project, health care, common good, common bad, etc. Whatever you want to call it, April 18th is TAX day.
So in celebration of this special time of year, let's talk TAX relief. If you read last month's blog by me, you will recall our goal of trying to raise $5,000 for the Fairfax Inova Children's Hospital. But - we need your help and I believe you can benefit from the TAX relief as well.
Just down the street from where I am typing this, Fairfax Inova Children's Hospital has a full house of kids fighting for their lives. For them and their parents, taxes are not "top of mind", health is. Living is. Sur; ...

Hopefully the Ground Hog Got it Right...
All I can say is WOW! I am sitting here at my computer thinking of how grateful I am for the value so many, like you, bring to my real estate business. Looking out my office window and there is not a cloud in the sky. Temps forecasted at 60 degrees today for the high. Spring is Springing!
For many across this great country it is still COLD, gray, and snowy! Others, never see a snowflake all winter long. It very well could be SUPER COLD today right here in Northern Virginia (but it's not). One thing is for sure, this winter season is coming to an end. It does every year without fail.
Just like the weather seasons come and seasons go, so do the seasons of life. I'm sure you have noticed, as I have, the older I get the faster the seasons move by. These "Seasons of life" got by so fast, my hope is that you enjoy each one or at least grow from each one. Yes, some of life's season; ...
