I love Sunday Mornings!!!  I spent the morning at the Highlands Coffee shops on Bardstown Road in Louisville.  As I sat watching folks come in, place their orders and leave I couldnt help but wonder what each of them do for a living?? Also if they are happy in what they are doing?? Life is so very short that as I grow older I keep thinking about the folks I help purchase new homes.  It is such an honor to be in the profession we are in.  Our clients will build memories and entire families in the homes we help them purchase.  I am proud of that fact. 07/20/2008

One of the primary reasons I signed with my current Broker was his attitude.  He seemed to love what he is doing.  He just seems happy  You know I believe that is the secret to his success.  He loves what he is doing and it shows.  Although I am new to residential real estate my goal is to have an attitude that others want to emulate.  It doesnt matter what we are doing, talking with a perspective client or petting our dog on the front porch.  It all is so much better when we have a good attitude.  And truly life is about creating those special moments.  I challenge everyone to find someone to emulate and be sure that attitude is on the top of the pro's list. 07/19/2008
