Satellite Beach Office is Open!

Hi Everyone!

You would think after taking two weeks off, I would be ready to go. Well I am! I got back to the office on Monday after spending a weekend in Los Angeles for a Sturge Weber conference. This is the disease my beautiful granddaughter was diagnosed with 6 months after she was born. She is now over 3 1/2 and doing great. It's a long road ahead and with such a rare disease, we just don't know her future. We will keep our fingers crossed. Each year we do our golf tournament and my wonderful Agents put their heart and soul into helping us raise money for Sturge Weber research. Once I got back from my weekend in LA, I spent the last week playing golf with my brother from Boston. We played 12 rounds in 7 days. It was a ton of golf and a ton of fun. Unfortunately he beat me and I now have to look at his name on the trophy for the next year!

So, we are finally starting to expand. I've held off until I felt like we should be listing properties and the fact is, if a property is priced correctly, they will sell. Our new Satellite Beach office is located next to The Dove restaurant at 1790 Hwy A1A. If you have never eaten there, it's a great restaurant!

Some people have asked me why I'm opening another office, especially in this real estate market. There are a few reasons. Firstly, we are doing fine. As mentioned in a previous blog, I had made the decision to concentrate on buyers over the past 5 years. We took very few listings as it didn't make much sense to me. Because of that decision, we have been able to become the number Real Estate office in the county in working with buyers (out of 500 offices). Of course I couldn't have done that without all of you! Secondly, there are a lot of consumers who believe that if your office isn't located beachside, then you don't know beachside. As much as this isn't true, I still felt we should have an office there to quell those concerns.

On December 1, from 5pm - 7:30pm we will be holding a customer appreciation/grand opening/ ribbon cutting party. If you are local, please mark it on your calendar to come help us celebrate our new opening! I hope to see some of you there.

As always, if there is anything we can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask. We are always here for you!
