Hope you are all having a wonderful fall!  Thanksgiving is fast approaching and soon we will be in full holiday mode.  My prayer for each of you is that you find joy in everything, that you are in good health, surrounded by those you love most. 

Dorothy says, "There's no place like home".  I truly believe that!  No matter where you hang your hat, home is like no place else on earth.  I think that is why I became a Realtor.  Knowing that everyone deserves a place to call home, I found my calling in helping people search out that special place.  Buying a home is such an exciting time but it can also be stressful if you do not have someone in your corner guiding and advising you.  I am honored when Buyers and Sellers put their trust in me to help them navigate the unchartered waters of home ownership.  Their trust is my greatest reward. 

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 
I Thess. 5:16-18

I am not one who looks for change.  I love to try new things, however, when I am comfortable, I am set.  I enjoy meeting new people, going to new places, but routine is my friend.  I knew I needed a change, new surroundings and a new path.  So, when the time was right, I made the change.  I am settling in here at ReMax Northern Properties and am pleasantly surprised.  I have known many of the agents here since becoming a Realtor almost 15 years ago.  I count them my friends in the business,  Being associated with agents rooted in the North Jefferson and Blount county markets was one of the things I looked to be associated with and having the national recognition in the name ReMax is just the icing on the cake!  

I have witnessed the change in marketing techniques and real estate trends over the past 15 years.  ReMax has surpassed my expectations in providing agents with the tools necessary to be successful.  I look forward to diving in, learning and using everything ReMax has to offer their clients.  My hope is to put into practice every tool available to make my clients dreams of homeownership a reality.  I look forward to connecting with past clients and introducing them to services available to them, their friends and families.  

Check this blog for regular updates on the market trends in our local area.  I will also pass along information that I learn that will help those looking to sell or information that will help every homeowner.  Join me often as I get settled into my new home here at ReMax Northern Properties.  One thing I can promise is that it will always be an "experience" looking in the window.  Enjoy......

Don't forget the First Time Home Buyers Credit ($8,000) ends soon.  Also, if you are looking for upgrades to your home, look for the tax credits available from products bearing the energy star label!
