MY PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS:

There are many different prices to choose from for lake living, so anyone can own!

The 9 closed properties on the list sold at 89.6% of the list price...buyers getting deals!!

The average of 81 days on the market for the solds is good for the current market.

There are 4 pending sales showing that we are starting to sell to the spring market.

There is no time like the present to take advantage of historically low interest rates

and own a lakefront for the boating, fishing and sailing season!!

I am your source for knowledge and information in the

Portage Lakes, Akron, Summit County region!

As we go into Spring I am reminded of my ride on the merry-go-round! Real estate heats up and buyers

get their income tax checks back from the IRS. We get calls, we make appointments, we write offers, we

get counteroffers and lo and behold we sell homes!!

For all of my years in business I long for Spring when I can get on the merry-go-round and do what I do

best, sell happy buyers their new home with all of the wonder of great expectation and memories to be

made!

Yes we sell happiness! Get out there and sell some happiness!

This mornings sunrise was all golden and reflected on the thin sheet of ice over Long Lake!

It made me happy to think that soon the ice will melt as we are expecting 50 and 60 degree temperatures this week. Can spring be far behind! Only time will tell Ohio!

I am looking forward to a great year in real estate and this picture gives me the hope I need that someone up there is looking over us and contemplating how to help us move forward and survive the trials that have been laid in front of us!

Realtors survive with positive thinking!!!

Living in a free country that allows me to think freely, speak freely, act freely, love freely, spend freely, laugh freely and blog freely!

We sometimes forget how our inherent freedoms provided to us by our great country. If you have ever traveled to a foreign country you will be immediately aware of how our country protects us. On a trip to Guatemala last year I was surprised that there were guards with machine guns at the door of the local McDonalds and all of the banks! How would you like to face that scene every day of your life?

I am grateful and proud to be an AMERICAN!!!

Everytime I pass the newly installed extra-large American Flag on Rt. 77 at Wooster Rd. , I feel like I have to salute "Old Glory" !!!

We can thank the newly opened VanDevere Chevrolet for the bright spot on a dreary winter landscape along the highway!

This is their signature, they also have one on Rt. 77 south at the Arlington Rd. exit. It is at their used car lot there. They are truly a patriotic organization and it makes my heart proud to know that they are an organization that is growing in the Akron/Canton Ohio area!

Thank you to the VanDevere Family!!! I salute you!
