New, new, new!

This is the month we, as consumers are hit with weight loss plans, planning calendars, organization systems, etc. all in the name of starting new -- starting fresh -- new beginnings! So here we are, January 2012! What have you decided to do "new" this year? What are you looking to renew?

As a goal oriented person, I always make "new" goals this time of year. My husband and I have professional and personal goals -- short and long term. When we bought our first house, it was the realization of a long-term goal -- and it felt wonderful. Sometimes, in a world that changes constantly, and is about new beginings on a cyclical basis, it is nice to have some constants.

For many people, the constant is their home. I love real estate because it is the realization of someone's long term goal when they buy a home. Even selling a home is usually part of a new plan with some good goals attached.

I am a fourth generation Glendoran, and as such I can still walk past the first house my great-grandfather built here in town (On Leadora Ave). My kids, fifth generation Glendoran's, do not yet realize how lucky they are to have so many constants around them. Even though we are surrounded by family history, my grandfather eventually moved up to Redding to retire (not before he built some more there).

Moving is synonymous with change, and change can be wonderful. If you plan to move this year, and need someone who will work for your best interest -- and who is a full-time realtor with roots in town (and extended roots to Temple City) -- give me a call. I can and will work hard to make your dreams a reality.
