Today, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one. ~Brad Paisley

At the start of the new year I posted this on my personal Facebook page. Nearly two weeks in and I’m still thinking about it. It is a powerful quote from Nashville’s very own Brad Paisley.

The other day Jim and I were looking over our real estate business. I paused to realize that each family we help move during any given year (48 in 2014) gets a fresh start and a new beginning. This may sound obvious, but I never really looked at it quite this way… where we are helping folks write their next chapter. I like this perspective and it makes me feel special. I’ve always wanted to be an author and I definitely want to make a difference.

So I delved deeper into some of the stories that we, the RE/MAX Allen Team, helped write during this past year:

• Lifelong dreams of living in Nashville, TN
• Moving cross-country to be near grandchildren
• Returning home to be near parents
• Leaving a childhood home to ‘Go West’
• Building that million dollar dream home
• Simplifying the dream job transfer
• Getting closer to school
• Choosing the home office and selling the office condo
• Shortening the work commute
• Rehabbing a church with acreage in the country
• Retiring and downsizing
• Expecting and upsizing
• Finding that ‘just right’ home with sunset views

Each client has a story. And each move represents the start of a new year, a new day, and the first page of a 365 page book. We are so grateful to our friends and clients for letting us be a part of their amazing lives.

We look forward to new beginnings and fresh starts in 2015.
