A Background for Living
May 23, 2007
On my way to the office this morning, I heard an ad on KNX radio that was sponsored by the Califronia Association of Realtors. What caught my attention was the emphasis on what the is the real benefit of homeownership.
A home is the place where Johnny took his first baby step. It is the place where memories are made. It is the place where our friends come to visit us. It is the place where we hone our decorating skills and our gardening skills. It is a place where we set the rules of living and where we develop our style of living. It is more than a 1950's ranch or a 1920's craftsman. It is where we live our life.
Over time our housing needs may change and we may move on. But what is remembered about each house, is not that is was 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, but rather that our children grew up there, we had coffee with our neighbors there, the kids learned to swim in the backyard pool and
our stay in each house was a chapter in our lives.
This ad resonated with me. It is why I am a real estate agent. I believe that having a place to call your own, that fits your present lifestyle or the lifestyle you are seeking, is a desireable ambition. Finding a property that suits a client is the real challenge and the reward is sharing their pleasure.
For my family, at the end of the day, the fact that we made or lost money on the purchase and sale of our various homes is not the defining factor of our life. The memories made in each environment are what created the true value of our home ownership.
