A roomful of skeptics

"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe," said Andy Rooney. Do these numbers fit with what you already believed? No hard feelings if they don't.

3 Misconceptions That Need to Die

Misconception 1)

Most of what Americans spend their money on is made in China.

Fact: Just 2.7% of personal consumption expenditures go to Chinese-made goods and services. 88.5% of U.S. consumer spending is on American-made goods and services.

Misconception 2)

We owe most of our debt to China.

Fact: China owns 7.8% of U.S. government debt outstanding.

As of August, China owned $1.14 trillion of Treasuries. Government debt stood at $14.6 trillion that month. That's 7.8%.

Misconception 3)

We get most of our oil from the Middle East.

Fact: Just 9.2% of oil consumed in the U.S. comes from the Middle East.

According the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the U.S. consumes 19.2 million barrels of petroleum products per day. Of that amount, a net 49% is produced domestically.

Whether it's information or local tips you need, or more formal assistance, my connections can help you move forward - faster and easier. And we can enjoy each other's company along the way!

Know The "Real" Market
When I started in the business, as I took an honest look at what "becoming valuable" really meant...it all seemed to boil down to taking action on these two central questions:

How can I help people now and in the future?
How can I use technology to help meet the needs of my community?
My answer was: "Know the Market."

All worthwhile journeys begin with knowledge. My objective is to know the real estate market around Port St Lucie - inside and out, up and down, from A to Z.

This means keeping up-to-date on the daily happenings that affect the market (and your home), and actively communicating these specific changes to you so that they can benefit your life, your home, your family.

From pricing a home, to marketing it, to negotiating a timely deal, I will make sure to offer advice that's realistic - that's based on recent, verified experience in our market. I make my home here too, so each new contact, each new opportunity, affects me and my family, too. Whatever goes around comes around.
