Crime in Hillsboro



For everyone who can't understand why I moved here -- check out this link:  Hillsboro Police Report


It's kinda like living in Mayberry.  For those of you who are too young to remember the old Andy Griffith Show, take a look:   Crime Mayberry Style

Life Is Like Coffee

When I went into the Real Estate business I put a lot of thought as to what I wanted to be known for in this business:
  • Cut throat competitor (uh.... no)
  • Top of the heap (if I can do it without sacrificing what's important to me like time with family and friends, volunteering, spiritual grown, etc.)
  • Hard worker (yes)
  • Honorable (yes)
  • Knowledgeable (yes)
You get the picture.  What was my mission statement going to be?  After much thought I came up with "I don't want to sell you a house -- I want to help you find a home."

It's turned out to be a good one.  While I love the opportunity to see all kinds of high end houses, and even sell a few, what I enjoy the most is seeing that "click" when someone realizes they've found the house that best fits their family's needs.  They've found their HOME -- not just a house.  It's not about how extravagant it is -- it's about how it feels, and the life they can picture there.

With all that in mind, please view the video.  I'm going to watch it again while I have my second cup of coffee from a mug I got at my favorite thrift store.  Enjoy.
