Whenever I try something new I have a fear of making a complete fool of myself. I'm new to this blog thing and this is my first post so please be gentle. I'm excited about the possibilities. Let the conversations begin!

I'm a Realtor in the Washington, DC market, I'm licensed in DC and MD. I'll chat about real estate but I'll also take you into my world, my real estate gig, my neighborhood, my politics, my brain (and it's a pretty good one too).

About real estate....Believe everything you've heard about real estate in this market and believe absolutely nothing you've heard about it. Everybody's got an opinion and one is just as good as the other. Here's mine. If you're thinking about buying a home, what are waiting for? Are you waiting for the interest rates to go lower? They are at the lowest they've been in 20 years. A lot of people who bought homes 20 years ago paid as much as 18 percent interest. Now rates are under six percent. Run, don't walk, to your nearest mortgage banker and get a loan, now! Credit issues you say? Been there, done that. We all have or have had them, no excuse. I want everyone breathing to own a home. I can show you how.

We'll talk about the whole issue of affordable housing later (big deal in my city). I'll save that discussion for when I'm a little more alert because it will be a lively one.

Anyhow, I hope you will enjoy my musings and reflections on my real estate gig and the world around me. I'll try different things, post random thoughts and try to sound like I have a little sense. Enjoy your day and remember, you can rest when you die.
