Vickie Use To Rent in Birmingham Alabama - Now She Owns!

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 12:00:43 -0500

Just a quick note to let you know how we can help you or anyone you might refer to us.

Not long ago Vickie was paying rent to live at some apartment here locally in town. Vickie always wanted to own a home of her own but just didn’t think she could afford to. Then she began looking on the internet and found us at our website at www.LivingInGreaterBirmingham.com. We spoke and she began searching through homes regularly on the site.

When she was ready, we joined together and began moving from the internet to the car and actually started looking at homes. Because we had worked with her in identifying her wants and needs we were able to quickly match her with place she could call home. Now, Vickie has a place of her own. Her very first home!

Who’s the next person you know who is looking to get their very first home? Be sure to give us a call to discuss how we can let them know about our services, or send them to www.BirminghamBuyerClass.com (or have them call our FREE Recorded Message at 1-888-263-9914 ext. 99) where they can register for a Home Buyer Class. The class is not just for first time home buyers like Vickie, it is for anyone thinking about buying a home. There is limited space, but we still have some available spots.

Trisha Crain Photography - Our Service Partner for the Month

Sat, 06 Sep 2008 11:26:11 -0500

Trisha has been pursuing her love for photography since 1975 when she was 10 years old. Five years later she began coloring her black and white photographs with photo oils. Trisha has been photographing families, weddings, and events in and around Birmingham, Alabama, since 1995.

She absolutely loves what she does and says that children are the absolute joy of her life. She says, "Capturing them in their "real" poses as opposed to the ones we make them gyrate into is the real challenge and when it happens, it's magical."

She utilizes local photo laboratories to print her digital work, and has recently added Online Proofing to her list of offerings, enabling family members across the country---and beyond---to order from your portrait session.

She says of her philosophy:

My goal is to permanently capture and allow you to display those beautiful memories of your family for a lifetime and beyond.

My hope is that what you see reflected in my photographs is who my subject is, not just what she looks like....
