When I opened this email, it made my day!
“Hello”, it began, ”I have a tattered article from Time Magazine  that features you and talks about your SRES designation. When it appeared in 2006 it made me ponder a career in real estate with a service aspect I felt was needed (I was, and still am, dealing with aging parents and neighbors on a daily basis.) I quit my corporate job and obtained my real estate license in July 2009…today I rediscovered your article. I was wondering if the SRES designation is still serving you well and if you feel it would be beneficial to someone just getting started in the industry? Any thoughts you could offer would be most welcome.”

Sincerely, Claire-Anne Aikman, Indianapolis, IN

“Yes Claire”, I responded,” the SRES (Seniors Real Estate Specialist) designation has been very helpful and you sound to me like the perfect candidate!” I encouraged her to focus her real estate practice on the 55+ client and to please stay in touch. I did a search and found that this article is still available online – Special Agents – TIME.

Governor Markell Gives State of the State Address:  Governor Markell delivered the State of the State address on Thursday in the House Chamber.  He quoted Thomas Paine, “These are the times … that try men’s souls” and stated that his focus is on creating more and better jobs and building a stronger economy.  He said that his plan will encourage economic growth, demand a leaner more efficient government and provide Delaware’s children with a world-class education.  Of particular note to the real estate and development industry, he mentioned consolidating the county row offices of Recorder of Deeds into State government and provide bond bill funding for the Housing Development Fund.  Look for Governor Markell’s FY 2011 budget to be unveiled next Thursday.
