Spanning the World of Real Estate!

About Me

MySpace Comments MySpace Layouts MySpace Editor Icon Collage MySpace GraphicsFirst of all, I really want to say THANK YOU to all of my friends on Myspace! I hardly have any strangers on my Friends. The vast majority are very special people to me, and I am proud to have them on my page!For anyone who doesn't already know, I am a REALTOR®. I've been in real estate in one form or the other for over 14 years! Anybody who knows me is aware that I am infatuated with real estate and I usually work all of the time. I have been trying to change that this year. I would like to have a more balanced life where I can appreciate my wonderful career, but also enjoy my amazing son! I also really want to be able to have more of a personal life with my friends, family, and my man.It used to be that if I was sitting somewhere quietly, (which almost never happened), I would be pondering the real estate market. More often than not, in the past, I would be on the telephone with a former client, potential client, current client, or researching or negotiating for one of the former three. I still do all of that, but I also do things that are personally meaningful!I love what I do for a living and cannot fathom doing anything else. However, recently, I have been very lucky to do other things that I love, which is still related to real estate - like writing. I have recently been published in a few different real estate magazines.

Also, I have had time to get more involved in my community and local real estate associations. I'm very interested and intrigued by government and political affairs. For the last two years, I was honored to be able to interview local mayoral, vice mayoral, and city/town councilmen/women that were running in my local communities in the Southeast Valley. Wow, was that interesting! I learned so much and enjoyed in immensely!I know that sounds boring to some of you, but it's my thing!Anyway, I also recently completed a week of very strenuous work with Habitat for Humanity helping to rebuild the Gulf Coast! I know! Cool, huh? Check out my blog for more on that!

Anyway, my path has changed quite a bit and I am better for it. I am living how I want to live now more than I ever have! It's really quite stimulating! I have to give special thanks to my fantastic friend - Diana Oleander - for her assistance in my changes! It's like she is in a whole different world than so many of us, yet knows where we are all supposed to be. She, like so few in this world, is actually willing to help others work toward a better life and I love her for it!Of course my education is always an ongoing fascination with me. For those of you who haven't spoken with me in awhile, I graduated from ASU in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science in Real Estate from the W.P. Carey School of Business. I have also graduated from the Graduate Real Estate Institute. I am a Certified Residential Specialist, and a Certified International Property Specialist.I intend on continuing my career in Real Estate for the rest of my life and look forward to doing business with all of the wonderful people I know, have known or have not even met yet.

One of the best new movies I have seen is Enchanted! So good I saw it twice! Haven't done that since I was in high school.Tombstone ("I know, Ike, let's have a spelling contest." or talking to Doc Holiday he says, "Why you're so drunk you're probably seeing double."...Doc Holiday, "I've got two guns, one for each of ya!") Good Will Hunting ("You like Apples?" "Yea". "Well, I got her number. How do you like those apples?").
