It’s a bloggin’ kinda day!

One thing I love about my new house is the skylight above my bed in the master suite. Nothing like watching puffy white clouds roll by and birds soaring as I awake, or at night, the twinkling of the stars set behind the swaying silhouette of a few monstrous tree limbs. This morning however, I was greeted with both the sight and sound of hail. Come on Michigan! It’s April already and I need a good day. I’m ready for some sun to stream through those windows. I’m ready to be invigorated with the forecast that announces itself not just through my window every morning; but aloud on my cellphone as my alarm speaks out the day’s weather, news, and my daily agenda. Today I had to settle for the fact that the freezing rain pelting my window was better than the picture of a frozen forest with snow flurries swirling on the face of my phone! My sunshine would have to come from within. Sound corny? Well, maybe so, but sometimes making other people’s dreams come true is just as good as sittin’ in the sunshine. 🙂 This is where real estate comes into play here on my blog Moniqueknowsrealestate.com  My intent here on my blog is not just to give you mundane facts about how the real estate market is doing. It’s to provide you with interesting articles, helpful tips, and community information, as well as allowing you to see a little bit of who I am as a person. Let’s face it – buying or selling your home is usually the biggest chunk of change you deal with at any given time and you want someone personable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and experienced to take you through the process. I am that person. My hope is that by following my blog, not only will you enjoy the content but you will gain my respect as an individual who absolutely LOVES what she does and prides herself on providing excellent customer service from beginning to end. I love waking up in the morning with the prospect of seeing the smile on a 1st time home-buyers face at closing, at the relief that comes when I present a great offer to a seller who is just waiting to upsize or relocate, and even hearing about my seller’s favorite shopping trips with their daughter.  And let me tell you in the midst of it all; I’m always discovering something new and different along the way – funny things too. I hope to share that with you. So, stick with me – we’ll discover some great real estate adventures together!
