So, I have entered the world of blogging.  I must admit that my broker put me up to this.  She keeps telling me that I have a very interesting life and have so much to share with others both professionally and personally, that I needed to start blogging.  So, here I am. 

I have been researching ideas for blogs over the past month or so.  Obviously many of my postings will be real estate related.  However, I will also give you a glimpse of my personal life.  This is where my broker says I have so much to share.  Suggestions are also welcomed.  If there is a topic you would like to know more about please email me at laurieladow@cressyeverett.com.

A bit about myself.  As of this date I am in my 10th year of selling real estate in the South Bend area.  It has been a very rewarding career for me in many ways.  I got into this business because I had a really bad experience with a poor buyer’s agent and a for sale by owner.  I made a promise to myself and my clients that I would treat them how I expect to be treated and I have high expectations.  Although you cannot please everyone all of the time, I believe that overall I fulfill this pledge.  

I believe in education too.  Over these past 10 years I have completed the education for and earned my broker’s license, my ABR, GRI, CRS and GREEN designations nationally and locally am SELL South Bend Certified.  I truly believe in continuing education and frequently attend local seminars and webinars to keep my skills sharp.

I have a 16 year old daughter who is a junior in high school and definitely keeps me on my toes.  Mom and Dad, I am truly sorry for being such a difficult child.  I know you laugh at me regularly as I struggle with my daughter’s teenage woes.  I am getting what I deserve for sure.  Then there is my dear husband, Kurt.  We have been married for 18 years and as we quickly are becoming empty nesters, we are remembering how much we enjoy each other’s company.

In my spare time I particiapte in running races and triathlons.  I love hiking (Kurt and I are actually planning on hike the Rim to River to Rim of the Grand Canyon later this year), gardening (although I get behind more than I would like to admit), cooking (I LOVE to cook), horseback riding (I guess I am going to be showing this year too, Yikes!) and reading.  My current obssessions are my hiking plans and fitness and nutrition.  I am focusing on Intuitive Eating and Clean Eating this year and am already feeling the difference in myself. 

As I finish up this introduction I can pick out several topics already.  I will work on developing those ideas and will be posting more soon. 

In parting, think about my business motto “Charity Begins at Home.”  I will be posting on these topics too, charity and volunteerism.  Two other obsessions.
