On Friday, January 27, 2012, my clients Steve and June, settled on 346 Rumford Drive. We closed and my clients were quite pleased. Over the course of the transaction they became friends with the seller. I know this has the possibility of being fraught with great challenges, but in this case it helped create a closed transaction. I had been working with Steve and June for over a year. Staying in contact was crucial because our original contract expired. I helped my clients learn about real estate auctions and in the process they were devastated to be the second to last bidder. However, this allowed them to buy this great Lancaster Home for sale at 346 Rumford Drive, Lititz, PA.  Ten Most Recent Blog Posts Lancaster County Homes for Sale - Gap PA January 2012 The Real Estate Community - I...

I have heard the importance of being very focused in order to achieve success in real estate. After 4 years in this business, I am finally going to apply this principle to my business. I became attracted to the real estate business because I was an investor. I wanted to buy, fix up and flip properties. However, I have learned from experience this does not work well for me. There are so many avenues and specialities within the real estate business. I have been a landlord and have the ability to manage rental units. There are many foci for traditional sales. It is also important to consider what market territory will become your center. Through training and learnings I have gleaned from the Rain, I have decided to narrow my focus to the following: Sphere of Influence Expireds Develop two ...

This airport and services like Adventure Flight Training is one of the benefits of Living in Lancaster. I recently met John Calla at Career Day at Lancaster Mennonite Schools. He graciously invited me to come by and check them out. I did stop by to learn more about his flight training and about the Bristell airplane. One of the unexpected happenings was that I got to go on a flight and even had the controls for a very small amount of time. It was scary and exciting at the same time.

Today my wife and I went to get our Christmas tree at Esbenshade's Greenhouse in Lititz, PA. A special was offered for $10 off a purchase of any tree over 6 feet tall. We set off on our journey with a specific goal in mind. We wanted the perfect Christmas tree to prepare for Christmas in 2011 in Lititz PA. We tend to wait until later in the holiday season to get our tree and tend to have some anxiety until we find the right tree. We found the right tree. Here Lorie stand beside it as the hole is drilled in the middle of the trunk. We then had it bound to haul it home on the top of our car. It looks great in our living room. We now need to decorate it, but we are one step closer to celebrating Christmas in Lititz PA. Ten Most Recent Blog Posts PA Homes and Real Estate for Sale - 133 Trai...
