"HOME" WARD BOUND - Impactful Real Estate News - May 2020

Mind Your Mom!

Almost every May, when I sit down to write Homeward Bound, I write about Mother’s Day. And why not… it is a very special day for very special people.
 
My Mom used to tell me to do this and do that AND not to do this and not to do that.  ALL that I recall now is that she gave me very valuable advice—all the time!  Looking back on it, I can say she was, and still is, a very wise woman.   And now I have a loving mother-in-law too—double the wisdom! 
 
Time reveals, in fact, just about every caring Mother is a Wise Woman. I can see why we carve out a special day each year to acknowledge Moms.  So here is a shout out to all Mom’s – Happy Mother’s Day!!
 
Unfortunately, my Mom’s mother is no longer here with us.  I am sure that makes my mom very sad this time of year.  I am sure some of you reading this can relate and have similar stories.  For ALL those whose Mom is no longer with us, may you remember the best about them. In addition to that, there are also many who never knew their mother due to unfortunate circumstances. I bet someone played that roll in their life and they too deserve a Happy Mother’s Day!
Regardless, we can celebrate this Mother’s Day knowing Moms, both here and no longer with us, are special in more ways than we can count. 

And we cannot forget the young Moms who are unemployed or homeless during this pandemic...not too far from where I type this…

You may recall my team and I are on a mission to raise $100,000 for 360° kids. We do that by donating a portion of our income from home sales to this very worthy cause.
Right now, there are kids who do not have a roof over their heads, a comfortable bed or even the food basics. Mothers who are struggling to keep themselves and their children safe are most likely NOT thinking about their special day this month.  They are simply doing their best to love their children and provide anything they can. 
 
Your referrals help the kids…
 
You may know someone considering buying or selling a home.  If so, please refer them to our team.  Not only will they benefit from our award-winning service, a very worthy cause will benefit as well.  Just give me a call or pass on my number. Thank you for giving this some thought.  
 
A core value at our company is expressed through this quote by Winston Churchill: We make a living by what we get.  We make a life by what we give.
 
As part of our Go Serve Big Mission, we proudly give back to those in our community who need help the most.  In this case, we give back to the amazing kids at 360° kids.
 
My Mom told me, even when I was a young boy, to give all I could, no matter what I was doing. Many years later, I get to put that advice to work here in our business.  I do all I can to help you, your referrals and try and help youth and kids gain the skills they need to lead a fulfilling and healthy life. 
 
Thank you in advance for your referrals!

P.S. I’ve shared a story from 360° kids. It tells the story of the great work they are doing better than me.
