The Chamber hosted their 2nd Annual Business Expo this past Thursday, August 19th, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. This year they used "It's a 50's Theme" and it was so much fun seeing all the different ideas people came up with to decorate their booth space.

McLeRoy Realty Associates came up with having "McLeRoy's Soda Shop" and we served Coca-Cola or A&W Rootbeer Floats. We went "ALL OUT" even had whipped cream and cherries! Needless to say, when it came to the refreshments, we were the "hit" of the EXPO!

A GREAT Time To Refinance!

While working my office duty I usually try to either do some blogging or read other blogs if I'm not swamped. Having a little "down time" today (which I am welcoming) I decided to check out todays interest rates.

Last time rates were this low, I personally refinanced and went from a 30 Year Fixed Rate to a 15 Year Fixed Rate and lowered my monthly payments by $200.00 a month! I locked in at 5.25 % then and rates are even BETTER now!

Mortgage Rates 30 Year Fixed: 4.49%

15 Year Fixed: 3.95%

1 Year Adj: 3.55%

(U.S. Weekly Averages)

As a Realtor we tend to concentrate on our Buyers & Sellers of the present. What about our former clients? Now would be a GREAT time to communicate to them about todays interest rates.

Going Cold Turkey...

My "cold turkey" was not from nicotine but from "communication". When I first signed up to go on this Jamaican missionary trip with my church, I had no idea what to expect. I have been a REALTOR 11 years now and my cellphone has ALWAYS been a part of me. I'm serious! I don't even go to the restroom without carrying it with me...lol.


So, the thought of no cellphone, laptop or communication with my clients for 8 WHOLE days just seemed unheard of. Guess what? I did it! And, I survived! Reflecting back...it was actually a "break" from the stress. We were so busy those days that the time just flew by! I even put my phone on silent once I got home Saturday so I could "crash" without the ringing or hum of the vibration. I also survived that! ;-)


Please...don't think I just left my clients high & dry while I was gone. I left a "detailed" list with names, contact numbers and the status of each transaction with my broker. Anything that came up was handled by her and I am thankful for a broker that was willing to deal with my "hurdles" while I was away.
