Thank you to all the soldiers that are protecting our country and all of the Veterans.

May God Bless America and may all of them return back to their families safely.

MEETUP was a word that I heard for many months before I finally took a look at it and realized that this may be a new way for me to meet new people, network and share leads with them.

I told one of the agents at my office that we are going to schedule our own
Investors Meetup Group for Johns Creek/Duluth and Alpharetta, Georgia. We set it up in a restaurant and I said either someone will show up or she and I will enjoy a wonderful dinner together.

Well, here it is a year later and we have over 288 members who thought this was a great idea and joined us. Now we meet on monthly basis and what is happening is that relationships have built and we are doing so much together. We have speakers, we network, we have a wonderful lunch and it's a win-win benefit for everyone.

If you are curious about Meetup go to www.meetup.com and put in your zip code. Every single meetup group will pop up from mothers with children with autism, internet marketers, investors meetup, singles, etc.

Find what you want to learn more about or what would benefit you best.
Then MEETUP with those people on regular basis. Good luck!

GREEN, GREEN, GREEN!

Money is GREEN but now everywhere you look builders, developers, investors are talking
about the new buzz word "GREEN". Green Buildings, Green Homes, Green Communities!
I went to visit a new development last week and the developer/builder took me on a tour
of his homes with more natural light, green materials and built to the green specifications.

I know that every BUYER that invests in a home today will get more for their GREEN! They
will get GREEN because these homes are more efficient, they have tighter materials, they
offer value for your GREEN!

I have now attended two conventions for CREW (Commercial Real Estate Women) where
I learned about the developer/builder utilizing LEED Standards. I want to be knowledgeable
so that I can assist my clients in today's market to give them GREEN for their money and
my knowledge and expertise.

The question is NOT how much more does GREEN cost? The question is how much GREEN
can we be with our today's budget and how much GREEN will this give us over the years?

It's truly remarkable. I discussed with one developer how schools are now built GREEN.
Manufacturing companies put more skylights so that employees can have more natural
light, therefore, they work more efficiently. Children in GREEN schools are more alert.
I flew thru the Paris airport and noticed that they were planting GREEN plants on their
hangars. The carpeting they now install is GREEN, it is supposedly static free and has no
chemicals that are dangerous to us.

We better watch out! Pretty soon our neighbors will be turning GREEN with envy if they
see how much GREEN we have in our homes. So my advise to you is, don't be mean,
GO GREEN!

I was born in Europe and moved to the U.S. as a teenager. I have traveled to 38 different countries and built a huge network of friends and professionals from all over the world. What I found out is that we all interact through e-mail, through conferences we attend and through the business we do internationally.

I receive calls daily from friends, colleagues and past clients asking me who do I know that can finance a deal for them in Costa Rica, which attorney can they use setting up offshore corporation, how do they get a visa, which translation companies to use when working with clients in another country, where can they get more information about currency, what are the laws in Panama regarding ownership, etc. etc. etc. etc. I've answered questions for everyone from A-Z over the years and now with this incredibly huge network I've built, I've decided to link it all together and let people that I know and the people they know start communicating through my network. We now have so many more of our colleagues e-mailing us their link and soon you will see our incredibly huge network "International from A-Z" appear worldwide. Millions of contacts, professionals in all of these categories are now being processed and we welcome you to join this incredible network. E-mail us your link and you too can benefit from networking with us.

Please e-mail us at: dagmar@WorldClassRealEstateBroker.com with the headline "We're excited to be part of "International from A-Z".

Let us also hear your testimonials about how our network has helped you and we will post them later on our testimonial page.
Sincerely, Dagmar Sands
