Greetings!

Update: This post was originally written when Chris and I shared a blog. We have since separated our postings into two unique sites. This blog is all mine now, and Chris is off doing his own thing. You can see what he's writing by clicking here.

Greetings Fearless Homeowner,

I’d like to take a minute to introduce myself. While Chris is off doing the heavy lifting for his real estate business, I’m generally the one here at home shuffling the papers and making sure the busy work gets done. That said, I do sometimes accompany Chris on listing appointments to take pictures and notes on the property, and I’ve also been known to hold a baby or two while all of the important documents are getting signed. I am Chris’ go to assistant. Oh, and I’m also his wife.

In a former life I was a teacher, children’s librarian, and a trainer for the National Center for Family Literacy. That last job required being on the road constantly and was dependent on ever diminishing grant funds, so now I’ve settled down a bit and stay in Oklahoma most of the time. I still do some literacy and parenting trainings, but I spend most of my time working with the family business. That is, when I’m not in the garden or working with animals.

This is really Chris’ blog, but he’s so busy these days he doesn't have as much time to write as he’d like. For those of you who own your own business, you know being busy is a good thing. So, I figured I’d pick up a few blog posts for Chris. I’m still going to leave the nuts and bolts of buying and selling real estate to him. Being a lawyer by training, Chris tends to be more attentive to fine details than I do. Also, he’s the professionally licensed realtor and Broker-Associate in this relationship. I hope to focus on the light hearted side of home ownership: pulling together the look of your new home and property, exploring your local community...You know, the fun stuff!

So, thank you for being here at our web site, and thank you for taking the time to read our blog. Please come back, and I’ll try to have some fun, useful information each time you visit our site. And don’t forget, we’re never too busy to answer your questions about buying and selling property. That’s how we make our living after all!
