"Live Life Out Loud" That's a great quote but just maybe you are looking for a life a little less ‘loud.' Maybe what you're looking for is a place to get away from all the noise and chaos, get away from cars blocking your driveway, dogs barking and doing their business in your grass, kids running, yelling, and playing in your yard, and the HOA's increasing restrictions and fees. A quiet, more peaceful life doesn't have to be just a dream. Now, more than ever, homes offering a more relaxed way of life can be yours for far less than you might think. From beachfront cottages to ten-acre estates, a home that allows you the luxury to live a calmer, more serene life and still be minutes from the hustle and bustle of work is just a phone call away.
Imagine waking up to the sounds of waves crashing on the shore right outside your window or going to bed with the sounds of crickets and owls lulling you to sleep, don't wait any longer, this life can be yours. Just take the first step and call Richard at Enter Realty or check out www.SKIPtheBULL.com
Life is loud enough.
I know of a realtor that has been called arrogant because he comes across so sure of himself, (I'll use only his first name, Richard, so as not to embarrass him.) I too, thought at times, "You think you know everything, that attitude will get you in trouble one of these days."
The more I saw him work however, the more my attitude changed.
I saw this man work into the wee hours of the night to find answers to questions raised by a client as well as tirelessly search to find the best possible deal for them, not himself.
I observed Richard hold his tongue when he knew a fellow realtor provided the wrong information during a meeting, but not call him on it in front of everyone just to make himself look good; rather, e-mail the new realtor an article with the updated information so the new guy could pass the updates along himself and save face.
I have seen this same man give up several Saturdays to go to client's homes to help them with leaky faucets, lawn issues, and other minor home repairs when they were physically unable to do the work themselves. All the while telling them he enjoys doing the repairs so they wouldn't feel indebted to him.
He has selflessly decreased his commission so that a family struggling to close on their new home, could.
And on the rare occasion that Richard is not able to provide the best for his clients, I have seen him refer them to another realtor that was more knowledgeable in his client's particular interests.
By watching Richard's efforts to be the best realtor he can be, he has unknowingly changed my opinion of confidence vs arrogance.
Confidence is believing that you have strengths, capabilities, and knowledge in a particular subject, acknowledging areas of weakness.
Arrogance is believing that you have strengths, capabilities, and knowledge in every subject, denying areas of weakness.
Confidence is using your strengths to help others.
Arrogance is using your strengths to help yourself.
Confidence attracts.
Arrogance repels.
So my newly revised definition of the two is...
Confidence is not knowledge, raising you above those without it;
but rather,
Confidence is knowledge that allows you to serve those without it.
Thank you Richard.
I tell my kids every morning when I drop them off at school, "Make good choices and ask good questions."
Life is all about learning. It doesn't have to be some major, ground breaking, wealth of knowledge, sometimes it's just some obscure fact like...
A 'jiffy' is an actual measurement of time equivalent to 1/100th of a second.
So next time you say you'll be back in a jiffy, you had better made sure you ate your Wheaties for breakfast that morning!
Life is all about learning. How mundane and boring would our lives be without it.
Remember, "A Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley.....
A typical macho man married a typical good-looking lady.
After the wedding, the new husband laid down the following rules:
"I'll be home when I want, if I want and at what time I want and I don't expect any hassle from you."
"I expect a great dinner to be on the table unless I tell you that I won't be home for dinner."
"I'll go hunting, fishing, boozing and card-playing when I want with my old buddies and don't you give me a hard time about it."
Those are my rules. Any comments?"
His new bride said, "No, that's fine with me."
"Just understand that there will be sex here at seven o'clock every night ..........
whether you're here or not."

ONE OF OUR REALTORS CAN HELP EVEN IF YOU ARE UP-SIDE-DOWN
There are countless hardships that can turn home ownership from a joy into a burden. The loss of a job, medical bills, or an unexpected hike in monthly payments can all make a mortgage unaffordable. But ignoring the bills will not make them go away, it will only make things worse.
If you need help, there are approaches that can help, but you may not be familiar with them. One of these is a "short sale."
In an approved short sale, the lender agrees to accept less than is owed for the property, and the homeowner is relieved of the debt. A lender may be willing to do this because it spares a lot of hassle and expense involved in executing a foreclosure. And typically, a short sale does far less damage to the homeowner's credit than a foreclosure does.
If you would like to explore the possibility of a short sale for your property, avoid foreclosure, and potentially save your credit rating, please complete the form below. A qualified short sale agent will be in touch with helpful information.

Thank you very much once again for your guidance in selecting a Townhouse for my daughter. Your straightforward and professional approach was not only impressive but greatly appreciated ! Rene
A Long Enjoyable Relationship: "Over the year that it took to sell our house in Knoxville and buy a house in Winter Springs I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with Richard Shuman. From the beginning he understood what we wanted to buy. He took us to a good selection of homes in Winter Springs and we managed to refine what and where we were hoping to buy. When our house in Knoxville finally sold Richard moved into high gear with us to find an excellent house and help us negotiate a good deal. He handled all the transactions, including our mortgage, with a high degree of professional competence and efficiency. Our closing went smoothly and effortlessly and we moved in just 7 days after closing on the sale of our Knoxville house. Perfect timing! My wife and I recommend Richard, especially to "experienced" buyers, because of his ability to quickly learn what the buyers are looking to purchase and then his laser sharp focus on helping them find it." Dave W.
Great Experience!! "Richard was everything that I wanted in a realtor!! He listened to what I wanted and delivered. I flew in from Ohio for a weekend in order to buy a house. We went out and in one day had the offer accepted on a wonderful house. He continued to help me throughout the closing process and even set me up with a great insurance agent. I would definitely recommend Richard to anyone that is looking to buy or sell a home with out dealing with all the BULL!! Thank you so much Richard!!" Dr Marian M.
"Richard was very helpful in the search for our home. He went out of his way to take us around to different locations meeting our criteria, even one that was not on our list-which is the one we bought! He was very prompt in returning calls and aiding us with financing. He played the advocate for us with our mortgage lender. The whole process was pleasant and almost stress free." Amanda H
