They Told Me Not To Blink.....


..................................and I did!  18 years ago today we were blessed with our beautiful daughter Ashley.  On a day like today you find yourself flashing back & wondering where the time went.   I was there every step of the way, but I feel like I fell asleep & took a little nap & here we are.  As most people know, being a parent is one of the most exhilarating, frustrating, & rewarding experiences we get to have.  There is nothing like it!  Ashley & I have been butting heads since she was 5 years old but over the last couple of years we've developed a mutual respect for each other & have kinda a cool thing going now.  I still drive her crazy & she still pushes my buttons but it's okay.  It'll always be okay because she has grown into a young woman that I admire & respect.  I wish I had her confidence as a teenager.  She knows what she wants & she's not afraid to go after it.  We've been very fortunate to have incredible role models in her life.  These women know who they are as I have thanked them every step of the way.  It truly does take a Village to raise a child!  We're about to begin a new chapter in a few months as she goes off to
UNC-Wilmington to major in International Business & French.  As sad as I will be the day we take her to college.....I cannot wait to see what she does with this next chapter of her life.  She will do amazing things & she will continue to make us so very proud.


Oh, if you happen to run into me today....please give me a hug!  I sound like I got it together in this blog.....but I also feel like I need to cry.  :)

To my little Sweet Pea.....Happy 18th Birthday!  I love you more than words can say!

Going from Good to Great........


One of my favorite points of our Go Culture is striving to "Be Better" in everything we do & who we are. Go90X plays an important part in that for all of us.  It has been different for me this time as I am participating in Go90X from a Coach's perspective.  I am seeing things from a completely different point of view.  I love the determination I see as our agents tackle something new & get pushed out of their comfort zone.  I love hearing them say that the phone calls they are making, to reach out to friends and family, are easier.  My favorite part of this experience is seeing their eyes light up when they share the response they received from their heartfelt notes & messages.  

Each member of the Go Realty family is such an important part of who we are & brings something different to our company.  We have come a long way in 2 short years, but still have so much to do! Our agents & their friends & families are an important part of our future at Go Realty!  I had one more challenge for each our agents & I'd like to extend that challenge to you.  In the quiet of the morning or late at night when you have 5 minutes to yourself, watch this video.  What can you do to continue to "Be Better?" It matters.....you matter .... and our clients matter the most!

Introducing...wait for it...



Our NEW Holly Springs ANGEL!

Another exciting step has been completed in our journey to have the most talented Real Estate office in South West Wake County!

Meet Laura Irwin! We know you'll get to meet her in person, but we wanted to share some fun facts about her as well.

She's been married to the love of her life, Bobby for 12 1/2 years and they have 2 beautiful children, James & Gabriella. She loves to do all kinds of crafts but baking is her favorite thing to do around the holidays. She likes to garden and grow her own vegetables and is usually on a diet (she'll fit right in!)

Her career has been fascinating! She has served in the US Navy, worked in the IT sector as well as the Real Estate industry. We are so lucky to have found the perfect combination of qualities for our Holly Springs office!
