Thursday, August 27, 2009 What a hot summer!by Russ Qureshi on Thu, Aug, 27, 2009 01:41 PM In more ways than one the summer of 2009 will be remembered as a hot one! Record breaking temperatures over July helped the Sunshine Coast live up to its moniker. Home sales, while not record breaking, were very brisk and showed that the buying public is continuing their love affair with this area. I worked hard these past few months (harder than usual that is:-) and I think the new testimonials will reflect my renewed committment to the business of service in real estate. While I admire the "Big Guns" here on the Coast, who are representing 15, 20 and more properties, I believe service & responsivness are key elements on so many levels of a realtor/buyer/seller relationship that I will keep my listing inventory manageable at all times.
This means I can respond to clients and keep them updated in person, no assistants, very little voicemail....,just direct contact.
On the personal front April has been very busy with the bakery (check out www.thesweetchef.com <http://www.thesweetchef.com>) and she is thriving. Sasha and Athena are having a great summer too! My little guy lost his two front teeth and his smile is even cuter now! The sun has been shining so much his hair is turning blond too! (Who'd a thunk it?) My little girl is becoming quite the dancer! All last year she was in ballet (Dominique's School of Dance - very special teacher there BTW) and she would only rarely dance in class....April and I now know she was paying attention all along because she is dancing all the time! "Mommy, daddy, look at me" What a joy!
New Music that's making me happy is:
Vieux Farka Toure - Fondo - Ali's son playing amazing guitar from Mali
DJ Baba G and Dan the Automator - Electric Lotus - Electronic eclectic
Madala Kunene & Baba Mokoena Serakoeng - First Double 1&2 - Zulu guitar!
Tinariwen - Aman Iman - gritty Tamashek music from Mali
Leave a comment and tell me what you think.
Cheers,
Russ
