Dear Newsletter Reader,
In the interest of your understanding more about our BY REFERRAL ONLY business, we’d like to explain how our newsletter works. While most real estate agents are only interested in completing a transaction with you, we want to be your consultants for life: Someone you can turn to for advice on the best route to take regarding your home needs; someone who offers you referrals to other companies that provide world-class service; someone with suggestions on where to get a particular product or service.
We’re constantly looking for information that we believe would be valuable to our clients. This information might help you improve your financial, social or work life, or it might show you how to improve your perception of life. We never use that information with the intent of making a profit from someone else’s words.
We do not actually write many of the articles that appear in our newsletter. If we spent the amount of time it would take to write new and interesting articles every month, we’d have little or no time to give you or our other great clients great service for your real estate needs. There are a number of interesting pieces on the Internet, some of which occasionally appear in our newsletter. Many of the pieces do not give credit to the original author, and it’s often impossible to track down exactly who made a particular statement or wrote a particular article.
We try to make our newsletter interesting and informative so you’ll look forward to receiving it each month, and so our name will be foremost in your mind should you need help with something. We hope you’ll read and enjoy our newsletter for what it is: an informal means of communication that keeps us in touch with our clients and friends.
Your real estate consultants for life,

Seven Different Reasons To Own Your Own Home…
You've probably seen lots of financial arguments about why you should own your own home rather than rent. This includes budgeting (no rent increases) and the tax savings you'll most likely have. Now we're going to give you some reasons you probably haven't heard.
#1: Freedom to pursue other goals in life once the major goal of home ownership is achieved.
Strange as it sounds, many of our first-time buyers have told us that once they bought the house, other things in their life started to fall into place. It's as if not owning took so much of their mental energy that other goals were not worked on until that big goal was reached. So buy a home and get on with your life!
#2: A greater sense of belonging to the community.
Once you own a home, you feel more attached to the city in which you live. You're more interested in what happens in town, to the roads, schools, and shopping areas. Some people even become involved in local politics.
#3: A commitment to something, a sense of stability.
Home ownership is an anchor, something that cannot be pulled out from under you. You'll never get a notice that you have to move. You're kids will never have to change schools. It gives you freedom to plan years ahead.
#4: You can change things, a feeling of being in control.
It's your home. You can add to it, remodel it, change the landscaping, do whatever projects you want. You have a feeling of being in control of something in your life. At work we don't always have control of what happens, but your home is your castle and you have dominion over it. You can see what you're building take shape before your eyes.
#5: More control over the children than in an apartment complex.
In a neighborhood, kids usually play in the yards or go to friend's houses a few doors away. Our clients have told us that in an apartment complex they never knew where the kids were. They could be in any of hundreds of apartments, doing who knows what. In a home you get to know the neighbors and watch out for each other's kids.
#6: Children do better in school and feel more secure.
This one surprised us, but buyers have reported to us that their kids calmed down in school after they bought a house. We don't know why, but it seems to work that way. We remember a single mom watching her son play in the yard, making steps in the slope and building things. She didn't have to tell him to leave everything alone, like she did at the apartment complex. I guess kids feel the same need for control we adults do.
#7: Time and money saved by not going to the Laundromat.
A small point, but if you have kids, you know the value of this one. You gain a whole evening a week when you buy a house! The wash gets done in between other things, or while you're at work. What would you do with the extra evening you'll have? How about going out for dessert with your spouse with all those quarters?
We've been in a home of our own for so long; we take these benefits for granted. We forgot what it's like to be renters! If you have anything you can add to the list, please let us know via email. We would love to hear from you!
