The World Is Your Oyster...As Long as Your Oyster is About 20 Square Miles

I am so excited to be able to share the latest news along with my analysis of real estate (as in, houses) AND real estate (as in, making my living in the industry of houses) . Of course I realize there are a million blogs out there, but this one will focus squarely on "This Real Estate Life".

What does that mean? Here's a slice: 11 years, about 600 transactions, around $100 Million in sales. 5 kids from 2-10, working in an office along side both my mom AND dad AND sister, building a team of top agents. Lots of late nights, weekends, occasional tense deals, and the frequent satisfaction of happy clients enjoying a new home. Lots of successes, lots of failures. Overall, a terrific ride.

Why should I care? I DON'T KNOW...however, every single day, people ask "How's the market?" Increasingly, they also ask "Are you selling anything?" I'll HONESTLY answer both questions here on a daily basis.

My own neighborhood (Glendale) and our immediate neighbors (Webster Groves and Kirkwood), without question, are right at the top of the list of where to live in St. Louis. I'm not talking about "status", I'm talking about good old fashioned quality of life. That is a subject that I'll be coming back to over and over again. I'll talk about neighborhood events, houses that matter and offer advice to our clients, friends and neighbors.

More than anything, I welcome your insights, thoughts, comments and questions. Let's have some fun with this, not take it too seriously and sort through what's going on out there.
