Welcome to the Queen Bee Newsletter
Greetings!

Often when I meet new people, they ask me "What do you do?"  Perhaps the best way to describe what I do is with a quick story.  It starts with a young fellow I'll call Jack who grew up in a family that did not have a lot financially. Jack's lifetime dream was to own a home, several homes in fact.  We looked and looked for the perfect starter home. When we found his home, Jack bought a tiny studio condo.  It is now over 3 years later and I've helped Jack buy 3 more properties and he is now looking for his fourth home with his wife so that he can start a family. So when people ask me what I do, I'd have to say I help people acheive their dreams. 

 

If you know of a coworker, friend or family member who has a real estate need, please feel free to contact me so I can help them realize their dreams, too.  Your heartfelt endorsement is greatly appreciated.

 
Sincerely,
 
Carrie Pierce-Johnson
 
Top 10 Valentine Ideas 
Valentine's Day 

1. A handmade Valentine's Day card - a handmade card says much more than a store bought one and will let your partner know exactly how much they mean to you.

2. Fresh flowers - the key to this is how they are delivered. You could have them delivered to his/her place of work, don her apartment with them, or a single red rose with a ring attached to it. What can be more romantic?

3. Personalized Chocolates - Personalized chocolates are a way of putting your expressions of love into a unique delivery.

Walking   How "walkable" is your neighborhood? 
Can you picture a neighborhood that's "walkable"?  What makes a neighborhood walkable?  According to a new website called Walkscore, a discernable public center such as shopping or a main street, safe walkways and a high density of businesses. How "walkable" is your neighborhood?  And thanks Sandy Fabre for bringing our attention to this fantastic website!
