What Does Your Car Say To Your Real Estate Prospects?

Realtors what does your car say about you?


Do you know what car your dentist drives?

Do you know what car your attorney drives?

Do you know what car your Realtor drives?


Which one of these choices do you think most people know the answer to? Exactly! Real Estate Agents are the only ones whose vehicles are ‘out in the open’, sort of speak. Realtors, what is your vehicle saying about you?

cheap car = bad agent?

Is your car a mess because you work all the time, or is it always freshly detailed, showing that you are organized and careful? Is your car on its last leg, because finances are not quite what they should be, or is it an expensive vehicle denoting that your Real Estate business is thriving? Do you drive a ‘green’ vehicle, showing concern for the environment, or do you loaf around in a gas guzzler?


Whether you want to accept it or not, your car, as the extension of yourself and your business, can help you land that next deal, or nix it for you. What are your thoughts on this subject?

I Hope You’ll Dance!

A mother's love...



My children have always been the most cherished part of my life, my defining moments, my love, my joy, my reasons for it all.

My son is leaving for war tomorrow. As a little kid he used to move his plastic soldiers across huge maps of the World I had bought for him. When he was a teenager he went to the Citadel Summer camp every summer and at 16 he became a counselor there. He later attended The Citadel, where he was a Summerall Guard and had several significant leadership positions. After graduating magna cum laude from the Citadel he enlisted in the Marines. After six months at Quantico he was commissioned as an officer. As he reminded me a few weeks ago, he is first a Marine, then an officer.

mother and son

If I had it my way, war would be fought with paint guns. I am probably the least military person you’ll ever meet. I wasn’t happy about his decision to join the Marines, but I encouraged him to follow his heart anyway. God, that was hard to do! As parents, that is our main job: to encourage each child’s individuality to blossom, in spite of our own proclivities and fears.

My Kids saluting the American flag

My son is going to war tomorrow. He will be joining the many honorable young men and women serving our country. This is my son’s decision. I raised him to follow his heart. “I Hope You’ll Dance!” depicts exactly what I’ve always tried to instill in my children. Follow your heart, dedicate yourself with abandon to your particular calling and allow your destiny to unfold. I have to remind myself of this, as I swallow my tears and give my son a proud salute farewell.

Mirela Alex &; Amanda = nucleus of my heart!

north myrtle beach oceanfront condo

North Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Condos have seen a lot of activity in the past 90 days. Here are all the 3BR units sold in the North Myrtle Beach Area during August, September and October 2009. Some of the best buys? Why, the ones I sold of course! My Buyers got a killer deal on a 3BR/3BA Oceanfront Bank Owned condo at Windy Hill Dunes for only $290,000. In its heyday (2005) it sold for $689,900. Another great buy: the 3BR/3Ba condo sold at Avista Resort. It garnered over $33K in rental income and sold for $300,000. I tell all my Oceanfront Buyers: For the best deals, you should have bought two months ago. Now it’s still a good time to buy. Hurry up, then!
