News about our team:
Jen is happy that Mother Nature has decided to give us April sunshine instead of April showers. Jen and her husband have been taking many walks with their old dog, Clyde, and enjoying the beautiful outdoors. Jen loves this time of year when the birds are extra chirpy and the Dogwoods, Cherry Blossoms and Tulip trees are all blooming. Jen’s oldest is trying something new this year – track! It has been fun for Jen to attend the meets and watch her daughter grow in this sport.
Jason had a nice March! He and his wife had family visit them in Raleigh, and they also went out of town to visit family for a weekend. Outside of that, he has been staying busy with real estate, teaching, playing soccer and starting to put together the nursery for their baby girl, who is on the way July 1st!
Sharon had a great March and is super excited to see spring arrive in North Carolina. She was able to take a couple of road trips to Asheville to see her old friend Dan and to tour Western Carolina University, where her son Sam will be attending college in the fall. It was great to get to the mountains! She has also been enjoying seeing Sam’s percussion ensemble – Alchemy of Carolina Gold – perform their new show. She spent some time with her son Ryan while he was home from school on spring break. She and Randy are looking forward to the warmer weather and enjoying time in their new camper exploring North Carolina’s campgrounds, beaches and lakes!
March was great for Erika. A few days of warm weather brightens the spirit! All the kids are well. Jesse arrived in Thailand and got to put his feet on dry land for a few days after 60 days underway. Macy and her dad made a move to Arizona and she is loving the new scenery and culture! Erika is excited to meet new clients everyday and help them realize their real estate dreams!
Hunter had an excellent March! Aside from enjoying the outdoors when the weather was nice, he got to spend great time with his family. He celebrated his younger brother’s birthday and also is excited to see his younger brother play in the spring game for NC State football!
Welcome Christa to our team! Christa is very excited to hit the ground running and March was a very successful month for her! She is looking forward to warmer weather and spending more time outdoors. Christa’s son, Mateo, is about to graduate from Wake Forest High School and has been preparing for his college journey at Coastal Carolina University, where he will play football! Her daughter, Kimora, is 13 years old and plays club and school soccer. They are both glad that the season has started again. Christa looks forward to helping buyers and sellers make their real estate goals a reality!
Our client services coordinator Karen has been busy watching her daughter Sydnie play basketball. Sydnie finished her first high school basketball season strong, being named the most fundamentally sound player on the team and a total of 75 points in the books. Now on to AAU! Karen and her husband recently visited the Biltmore in Asheville. It is a beautiful place, and Karen highly recommends it – so many things to see and do around that area. They enjoyed visiting and catching up with with family friends in Black Mountain while there.
