Looking Forward to a Bright, New Future with Keller Williams

What an exciting day it is as I take a few minutes to write my very first blog entry.  I reflect on the past as I look forward to my future with Keller Williams with great anticipation.

After 23 years of matching buyers with their dream homes, I still get a thrill every time a buyer gets that look in their eye and I know "they found it".  Some say relationships don't exist in real estate anymore and it is all about the price.  While we will all agree price is very important in today's market, we are selling more than a bonus of a free washer and dryer.  I don't believe buyers are shop for the "deal."  Homebuyers buy a community, a lifestyle, a future where memories will be made.   

I can still picture my very first homebuyers finding their first home in Lakeview Village.  He was an Air Force pilot returning with his family from overseas.  Of course a lot of the their decision was based on if they could afford the house, and with the fantastic VA financing available he saw great benefits to invest in a home for their family's future.  But he and his wife also saw it as a place to meet neighbors, have BBQs and teach their children to ride their bikes on the quiet cul-de-sac street they chose to live on.  Back in those days interest rates were double digits, which happens to be a huge advantage for today's buyer with historically low interest rates.  The resale market offers incredible opportunities as well as builders are operating off of much lower margins than they have in many years.

So it is with much excitement I continue my real estate path with Keller Williams.  I feel honored to be able to be a part of my homebuyer's journey as they fulfill their dream to own a new home.
