This is Part 3 for the January 2025 Challenge Planning for success for Leanne Smith. My focus is to be an active participant in building my future without depending on real estate sales. Now is the time to pause and come to grips with what I need to do for myself and my future. I live and breathe via spiritual guidance through education. Always and forever, I thirst for knowledge.  Now is the time to be proactive and use my own ingenuity and creativity. Being an active participant in two book clubs and reading the book, “Women Who Runs With the Wolves,” helps me to explore the challenges that stand in the way of self-awareness, and the “necessary growth cycles of life.”  Hello, my old College Friend, Carl Jung  As I explore the “pitfalls and the intent on rediscovering” the lost pieces ... 01/13/2025

We Will Remember Myrl Jeffcoat  Quotes by Myrl Jeffcoat from her ActiveRain Blog & Her Comments too: Relationships can change, they can evolve, but they don't need to be destroyed. They can continue to be more treasured with each coming day. I think the longer we shuffle around this earth, we realize it is the relationships we forge that provide the most treasure.I have special relationships that are so old that I barely remember when they began.When I see rocks in landscape, I think of stability and longevity. Flowers sprout, bloom, and die, but rocks never do. The world seems so chaotic now. And it all seemed to change so quickly.

What a fulfilling week working with some dear past clients of mine! Fourteen years ago, I had the privilege of listing their home in Canyon Creek and helping them purchase a beautiful Colina Vista Condominium. A stunning view and a primary bedroom were non-negotiable for them, and with the market moving quickly, I contacted a sales representative I trusted at D.R. Horton. We found the perfect unit, wrote up an offer, and they couldn’t have been happier. Interestingly, I also represented another buyer just a few units down the way!Fast forward to about three years ago, health challenges began to weigh on them, and we started discussing a potential move to a senior living facility. Though they explored their options, they weren’t quite ready at the time.This past fall, it became clear tha... 01/18/2025

“Dorie is a wonderful agent throughout the selling process. She understands the market, makes accurate pricing decisions, and has a very competent team to present the home and make it very attractive and set it apart from other listings.

Her resources and network connections are key to getting the home sold fast even in a slow market. This has been an above-and-beyond experience!”Patrick 1.6.2025I’m deeply grateful for such a thoughtful review. Knowing my efforts are appreciated by clients like Patric... 01/19/2025
