It’s Been a Long Time…

since I’ve posted a blog on WordPress.  Better yet, it’s been a long time since I’ve blogged anywhere.  With the hustle and bustle of life…blogging was not at the forefront of necessities.  My daughter had her 3rd birthday last month.  I’ve been forewarned plenty of times about the sassy 3’s.  She’s definitely sassy.  I cherish every minute of her sassy existence even though it drives me silly at times.  Life is so short.  Just this week I got word of a death of a friend’s mother with whom I spent Thanksgiving with.  She was taken quickly by a relapse of breast cancer.  Then tonight I was informed that my uncle passed away after his battle with prostate cancer.  Yeah…cherish your loved ones.

Being self-employed has allowed me to shift my business efforts to whatever scenario presents itself.  Aside from my employing company of Prudential Colorado Real Estate going through a dba name change to Herman Group Real Estate, it’s been an interesting ride.  Whether it be presenting a market analysis to show a homeowner what their home is currently worth…or presenting an analysis to a homeowner to show them how to quickly build equity and even pay off their home…I’ve been blessed with success.  This week I received written approval from Countrywide (known as a difficult lender in short sales) that one of my short sales has been approved!   I was determined to personally handle the short sale with Countrywide as a personal challenge to see what all of the negative hype was about.  Well…after 4 different buyers along the way I got it done!

Today was the Realtor Rally in Denver.  I shared an exhibit booth with two other colleagues and we received great interest in the UFirst Money Merge Account.  We will be having a Leverage-N-Learn breakfast meeting later this month and we’re excited about the interest.  The fact of the matter is, THIS PROGRAM WORKS!  Whether you have a mortgage or not…as long as you have debt, income and a line of credit (personal or other) IT WORKS!  When I joined UFirst there were limitations on the ability to qualify to use the program.  With the recent changes that have come about in the last quarter…the main limitations a person may have are themselves.  I know to the actual month and year when I WILL BE DEBT FREE.

So, the next thing I’m excited about is my upcoming trip to D.C.  While participating in a women’s conference, we are being given the opportunity to tour the White House.  I’m so excited…I’ve seen it from the street, but I’ve never had the opportunity to tour inside.  Several have asked if we will meet the President and First Lady.  Well, I don’t think they’d commit to sharing that information ahead of time…considering I had to nearly give up my first born child as pre-requisite for security clearance….lol.  This is an awesome opportunity!  Maybe I’ll even blog about it…maybe.
