Rome, GA

Today was Red Day for all Keller Williams Realty Offices across the nation. This is an annual event. Today from our local office we came out in full force dressed in our Red t-shirts raring to go.

This year we choose to help out in one of our local schools Southeast Elementary School(see pics below) First we was greeted by 6th graders who was assigned to give us a tour and showed us to the class room we were assigned to.

My 1st class was a 3rd grade class and they put on a cute puppet show for me, and then I read to them, then I went over to a 2nd grade class and read a couple of books to them. It is amazing how far school has progress in their teachings and how smart these chidren are:

Here a few of the pics

This one below is some of us with our helpers from the 6th grade

The one below is the 3rd graders with their puppets

The next one is the second grade class they were adorable

Here is another one of our agents with his class in the lunch room

These are just a few of the pictures, it was a very uplifting experience, I was having such a great time, all of the sudden I heard my name being broadcast all over the school Darlene Wurth please come to the office, kids giggled and said are you in trouble??? I look forward to our next Red Day.

The school counslor said we could come back anytime, they are in need of mentors for the children, Do I hear the school bear ringing ?

The media likes to discuss the negative......and only the negative. I would love to see a major news network actually bring a few top Real Estate agents on and have them share why today is such a great time to buy real estate.

With rates between 5.5% and 6.0% and inventory at record highs, people will find themselves saying "I should of" a year from now. Local inventory (GA) has seen a slow but steady decline over the past 2 months. Eventually we will level out and sellers will no longer be "desperate" and buyers will be left on the side lines wondering where the bargains went.

I had a client recently tell me......."I can't believe the American people. If shoes or cars were on sale, they would be flocking to the stores. But if real estate is ‘on sale', it's a depressed market. If I had the money, I would be buying land as fast as I could sign the contracts. When the rebound comes.....and it will......you will hear everyone say ‘I could have bought that for $_____ 6 months ago"

My advice.......if you are in a financial situation where you can buy......don't wait for others to start buying before you do. You will miss out!!! Regardless of what is going on in the stock market, real estate will always have value. While that value may take time to increase based on current markets, it will still increase. And at the end of the day, you own property. There was a time in our country when people fought wars to own land......and now that it is available on every corner.....people are scared.

With that said.....feel free to give me your thoughts.

I just left my favorite hair dresser and received the most awesome hip new haircut! Beth Erwin is a master cosmotologist and has 25 years experience. She just colored my hair about 2 weeks ago, then we went on vacation to the beach (no fading as you can see ...I'm the brunette by the way!) Then I saw a haircut in a magazine that I love and Beth was able to cut my hair exactly like the magazine picture! Beth has been doing my hair now for 18 years she always gives me the precise cut and color I want!!!! Beth has clients from Cobb County, Cherokee County, Floyd, Polk and all over North Georgia. When you relocate to Rome, GA or if you live here now and need a new do call Beth at Image Makers 706-252-5501. Tell Beth you read about her on Active Rain! Image Makers is located on Dean Street just across from The Bone Bag.
