A Beautiful Day in the Office

Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2008

Oh, Well!! I didn't start the day off very well today. When I got out of the Manager's meeting, I had a voice mail message from our attorney asking if I was OK --- I was supposed to be in a mediation hearing ---- Oops --I didn't have it on my calendar. This just means the rest of the day will be awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Kudos to Billie Jo VanDusen, our awesome marketing lady, from the Manning group. Yana Mathis writes: "Liz, my sellers on Copeland Drive that you brought the flyers to me last week went crazy of the professional look that Billie Jo did. We had a showing on it this week already and they went riding around the neighborhood to get out of the house and kill some time. He said they stopped and got other brochures out of boxes and ours made the others look like "kindergarten material".!!" ---- Way to go, Billie Jo ----- You are the greatest!!!!!!!!!!


WOW!!! What about the Federal government taking over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac? Looks that this is going to be a very good thing for us. The interest rates have already come down about 1/2 a percent.
