These Facts Are From The Houston Association of Realtors

I found a tree….I found a tree… O Christmas Tree! Yes I am excited I finally found a tree.

I have been really busy and have not had time to do a good tree hunt. I called several places today to no avail.

What I really wanted was a flocked artificial or a real tree and my friend who is a Fire Marshal told me where to go get an artificial one. She is really against using real trees because it is such a fire hazard. However, they were all sold out. The rest just looked so cheap at an expense price.

Tonight I went to HOME DEPOT and they had a nice 7’ tree.

A nice lady was summoned from the back to come help me and my husband with it. She whipped into the outside garden area and dragged the tree to have its bottom trunk get a fresh cut.

She was so sweet and cut off some of the lower limbs which did not look so good.

As we walked out of the area I gave her my business card (if I give you money you get my card). I explained that I was a realtor and if she ever needed any help I would surely love to help her like she help us tonight.

Her face lit up and she said that she and her husband were working with a mortgage person to get their credit rating up. She explained her husband had zero credit

We were both excited and I asked for all her contact info and got it…so I guess Christmas came a little early and it looks like there will be some kind of transaction late January! Yeah!
