March 3, 2007

“ALL IS PERSPECTIVE. To a worm, digging in the ground is more relaxing than going fishing.”
-Clyde Abel

Well said, Clyde. It’s true. Most of the worms I’ve taken fishing have been reluctant at best. They would have preferred to stay home.

CONGRATULATIONS to Jim and Annette Murdaca on the successful SALE of their Lodi property! Now it’s time to celebrate at…where else? Pietro’s. I can’t get enough of that good food! A Thank You to veteran Lodi Realtor Myrna Carter for her job as Buyers’ representative in this adventure. Thanks, Myrna!

TRIPLE WHAMMY! Statesman’s Greg Adams closed THREE “sides” in one day last week! Happy clients all around. Way to go, Greg! Greg’s on track for a great year (and as my Transaction Coordinator and all-around support person, he’s helping MY 2007 to be my BEST YEAR YET!). Greg’s also my Grandpa Mentor. He shows me how it’s done. With NINE grandkids, he’s way out in front!

WINDWOOD CHARMER: 19328 Page Court has so many extras I can’t name them all here! You’ll just have to see for yourself if you’re interested. Over 2400 square feet of lovingly upgraded home on a landscaped cul-de-sac lot! Pool! Spa! Thousands of dollars in upgrades! $725,000.

CONGRATULATIONS ALSO to Kristine Leach (again). This time, it’s for the PURCHASE of her Lodi home! We closed on her Stockton home on the last day of January. I negotiated a Seller rent-back for her so she could stay in her Stockton home until the Lodi home was ready to close. We closed on the last day of February. Feeling strong? She’s moving in TODAY! Feel free to go and give her and her friends a hand. Thank You to Realtor Ray Zvirbulis (these Irish names are hard to pronounce), Sellers’ rep on this deal. Great job, Ray! Ray’s Sellers have moved to Arkansas to raise horses. Sounds good to me!

DOUBLE WHAMMY! Statesman’s own Pat Piccardo closed TWO sales (two duplexes) on the same day this past week! He’s on schedule to reach his 2007 goals (great job!).

MY OREGON FRIENDS Jim and Sheila Reynolds entrusted the sale of their family home in Lodi to me. This was especially meaningful to me because Jim is Managing Broker for an office of forty-plus Realtors! Thanks, folks! (We closed escrow this past week). Thanks also to Realtor Tami Tuel, who brought the Buyer to this transaction. Good job, Tami!

“THE BEST THING ABOUT THE FUTURE is that it only comes one day at a time.”…Abraham Lincoln. Until we meet again, have a great week! One day at a time.
