Big surprise--one of my resolutions this year is to post to my blog twice a week. To that end, I've even added the task to my calendar!!! Maybe I'll post more frequent but shorter posts. I know I tend to get a bit wordy at times, but that's always been my style when writing. People say that getting a letter or e-mail from me is like sitting down for a visit with a dear friend over a pot of coffee or tea.
On a business note, I've changed brokers and am very excited about this change of location, style of ownership/management and the potential for me to have an impact on even more people as I help them through the process of buying and selling real estate, as well as the animals which receive my support through donations I make after each transaction closes. I do get a rush out of writing those $500 checks!!
Best wishes to you all as you embark on what will be a happy, successful, fulfilling New Year!

Happy New Year!!
Well, it's been far too long since I've been in touch with my loyal readers! What with the holidays and the fact that there has been some last minute action in my Real Estate world, the time has flown by.
Yes, business has picked up some. One of my Buyers has purchased a house as an investment. Look for me to have the fixed-up version of this house listed in the Spring! Another of my Buyers, who has been looking for just the right place, finally found one with my help. Unfortunately, so did another smart Buyer who beat my Buyer to it! So here's the lesson--despite the downturn in the market and the thousands of properties on the market in the Atlanta area, when a house is priced right, has been "staged" properly, and is in a desirable neighborhood (remember "location, location, location"?) this market is still moving along pretty fast.
I do expect to see the market improve some over the course of 2008. This could be a great time to up-size or to purchase investment property. Let's get together to talk about the possibilities!
Also exciting for 2008 is the upcoming opening of Avenue Realty Inman Park. The office is being built out currently and we hope to be open by March 1. Did you catch that "we"? Yes, I've moved to a new brokerage, and I'm really looking forward to this next chapter in my Real Estate career. We'll keep you posted on the Grand Opening!
