Real Estate eNews & Updates

September 2008
Greetings!
 
There is not much I can do about the current economy or the upcoming election. I can only keep my head down, working for my clients to help them acheive their real estate goals for selling or buying a home or investment property, and serving you in ways "above and beyond real estate" as my Mission Statement states.
 
Here is a poem written by Chuck Swindoll, that helped me through my Black Belt training, and it helps me now when I need a lift. One of my karate instructors had it on his outgoing phone message--if I called him in the middle of a bad day, or in a hurry to tell him something quick, my attitude was transformed after 2 minutes of listening. It's better read aloud, so if you have the time to do so, enjoy!
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home.
 
The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it."

And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes."  
I'll be in touch with you soon!
 
Sincerely,
 
Melinda

Melinda's Night at the Movies in November!
I'll be hosting Melinda's Night at the Movies in November! It will be a fun night for the whole family. More information and invitations* to follow in the upcoming weeks.

Many real estate agents spend a lot of marketing dollars on expensive print ads to help find new business. Since I work by by referral, I market and serve only people that I know--people who believe in my business and support me. I appreciate your trust in me and also in your referrals throughout the year. Instead of being out, chasing the next lead, it frees up my time so I can pour my time and energy on my current clients and allows me to do neat things for you! 
 
And, of course, if you know of anyone who needs to "Move It, Move It" before the end of the year, I'm here to help! Just forward their name and number to me and I'll be happy to follow up. You can reach me at 310-265-4222.
