Several friends and I just returned from an amazing cruise to Cozumel. The trip was fantastic. Good food, good friends, warm sunshine, smell of the sea air, magnificent sunsets, and the amazing blue of the waters were enjoyed by all.
Now, this is my third trip to Cozumel and each time I have planned to go scuba diving. The first trip, a hurricane had come through just before my trip and we were not allowed in the water, (it was not even pretty).
For the second trip, my traveling partner would not consider diving. He did try snorkeling after some coaxing and a little fit throwing from me, however, he did not last long, his Fear took over and he went to the boat for an adult beverage.
This time, I had a friend with me who was ready, willing and able to do the dive. Yay!!! Finally I will get to dive into these amazing blue waters.
Sandy and I get to our dive location and we go through the training, she seems to be getting very nervous. I am nervous as well, but determined. I guess the good part about her fear was that I forgot my own. As we enter the water, she begins to have a little panic attack and she presented her Fears to the dive instructor. He calmed her down and we enter the water and begin our amazing dive. AHHH this is what I have been waiting to do.
My real estate path has opened up the opportunity to open a new branch office in Central Texas. This is a fantastic opportunity and I am very excited. I have been travelling back and forth between two cities with the plan of relocation after the 1st of the year. Now all of a sudden I have this HUGE FEAR FACTOR.
This fear is setting in and consuming my thoughts and I am not sure where it is coming from. I have never been afraid to take on a new challenge. My partner and I started our property management company several years ago with just the idea and determination to make it work. I know that I can do the same in the new market.
Like the game show FEAR FACTOR where contestants are faced with different types of risky challenges, starting a new office comes with many new challenges. I feel like one of the contestants who is having to dive into a tank of sharks! Now granted I was scuba diving in the Caribbean and the thought of sharks was not on my mind!!!! What is wrong with this picture???

Then I reflect on some of the fears that I have faced and overcome:
* Divorced raising two young boys
* Working 3 jobs and shuffling the schedules of my sons
* Taking several classes and designation courses as I began my journey into property management and real estate
* Studying and earning my real estate license
* Leaving a job of 15 years to open a property management company
Life is full of fears and each one must be faced head on. "You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do." Eleanor Roosevelt
So look out Central Texas, I am about to take my dive into your market and I will do this without fear or regret. I will build a top notch branch office for our company and expand into Temple/Waco area in 2012.

We finally CLOSED!!!!!!! Thank you to the Armstrongs for being so patient! We put an online bid on a foreclosed home 3 months ago and finally closed as of last week! There were issue after issue that had to be "resolved" and with much perserverence, the outcome was positive. We also had an awesome loan officer, Deborah Huddleston from Cornerstone Mortgage, that made this process a success! Thank you to everyone for all the hard work!

Carmen Colón was raised in the Ft. Hood/Killeen area, has watched it expand, and has grasped a full understanding of the diverse people who help color the canvas of Central Texas. Becoming a Homes For Heroes advocate is just another step in the direction she has already taken in her community. She comes from a military home and before becoming “Your Ace In Real Estate,” she worked along side the U.S. Army at Ft. Hood and in the Middle East. Because of this, she possesses a special connection with Central Texas’ largest representative; the military member and family. Carmen understands the high demand and the attention to detail embedded in each and every client and goes above and beyond to make sure she meets the needs of her clients. This nose-to-the-grindstone work ethic has translated into becoming a multi-million dollar producer since her first year in realty. As a wife, mother, and big time animal and nature lover, Carmen understands the importance of the right school, the right amount of beautiful Texas scenery, and the right price as being part of a dream home. Her in depth understanding of the Central Texas area will have you moving in the home that fits all of your family’s needs. Accolades and career achievements aside, Carmen’s biggest thrill is knowing she is part of one of life’s biggest achievements for ALL American Heroes; becoming a home owner. And with that in mind she works passionately for that day she puts the keys to the American Dream in her client’s hands.

The Central Texas Home Builders Parade of Homes is in full swing and the first weekend was GREAT! Homes ranging from the $120,000's to over $1,000,000 were open this weekend for viewing, and will be open again NEXT weekend, also.
You can pick up a Parade of Homes magazine in any of the participating homes, and the Killeen Daily Herald is also publishing a small insert to the newspaper that has all the info about the homes. Homes are located in Copperas Cove, Killeen, Harker Heights, Belton and Nolanville.
One of the Killeen homes for sale by Jerry Wright Homes is his Austin Floorplan located in Cosper Ridge Estates. This is a GREAT location if you need to be close to the new Texas A&M Central Texas campus, to the airport, to West Ft. Hood or to main post or any of the hospitals!
