Me? A “Tech-Savvy” Realtor?
I worked with some really nice folks last week who will soon be new full-time residents of DeBordieu, the private oceanfront, gated golf community just south of Pawleys Island, SC.
Middle Aged Texting
As a realtor, I need to keep up with all of the gazillion new ways of communicating. One of my favorites is text messaging, which if did not do, I could never communicate to my teenagers, who don’t even answer the phone any more, but they will respond to a text immediately. Some of my clients enjoy the convenience of texting as well. In fact, one of them sent me a hysterical email this morning that gave new meaning to some of the abbreviated codes used in text messaging: MIDDLE AGE TEXTING CODES: ATD -at the doctor. BFF -best friend fell. BTW -bring the wheelchair. BYOT -bring your own teeth. FWIW -forgot where I was. GGPBL -gotta go, pacemaker battery low. GHA -got heartburn again. IMHO -is my hearing aid on? LMDO -laughing my dentures out. OMMR -on my massage recliner. OMSG -oh my! sorry, gas. ROFLA…CGU -rolling on floor laughing and can’t get up. TTYL -talk to you louder. BTW (that would be…”By The Way”) this is my client’s house pictured in this blog entry. Please thank her by clicking on the picture of her house, and taking a little virtual tour. It’s one of the best values on the market at DeBordieu! And it has a POOL. There has never been a better time to consider a purchase at DeBordieu! DeBordieu Colony is an oceanfront community located just south of Pawleys Island, South Carolina that features private golf and tennis, saltwater creek access to the ocean, a manned security gate, and luxury homes and villas surrounded by thousands of acres of wildlife and nature preserves.
Kris and Psalm 127
It’s been an interesting week. There is a whole lot of activity on the real estate front. So I was primed for my Bible Study on Psalm 127, which was, in part, about work. In the mean time, a wonderful, young man I used to work with at Wild Dunes (about 100 years ago) passed away this week after a battle with cancer. When I’m done writing this, I’ll be heading to his funeral in Charleston.
The Psalm 127 study got me thinking about my faith, if and how it is apparent in my work. I have been blessed with a few really great gifts and talents, and an absolutely beautiful place to use them, for which I am extremely grateful. It got me thinking whether or not I was giving back, doing the work that God has called me to do, not JUST sell real estate at DeBordieu.
And then I thought about Kris, my friend, who asked me many years ago to read the scripture at his wedding. I was honored then, to take part in the beginning of that next chapter in his life, but today, it means even more. What is it he and his bride saw in me, at the work place, even back then before I was “on fire,” that lead them to ask me to do those readings? So even though I haven’t had much contact with Kris and Jessica over the past few years, I consider it an honor to be there today, as he starts this next chapter of his journey in heaven.
I was reminded this week that PEOPLE are at the center of Christian work, even in the workplace. “We are called to do His work wherever we are.” According to Psalm 127, “If God doesn’t build the house, the builders only build shacks.” Amen.
Easy as Pie….”Derby-Dieu” Pie!
Savvy Realtors up and down the coast have realized that it is wise to bring their Luxury Buyer Clients to DeBordieu, the private, oceanfront, golf community just south of Pawleys Island, South Carolina. And I have so much fun encouraging them to do just that, particularly around the holidays!
Last week I loaded up my car with delicious “Derby-Dieu” pies, home-made by my very own elf, Sharon Shirer, who works in the DeBordieu Rental Department. I delivered these pies to local real estate agencies in the Pawleys Island area to remind the realtors that bringing their clients to DeBordieu was as easy as PIE!
The note said “In 2011, lets shoot for the sky, but in the mean time enjoy this “Derby-Dieu” Pie. They all know I’m a big corn-ball, so they got a kick out of the thought, as well as the melt-in-your mouth pie!
Then on Friday I attended the big Coastal Carolina Association of Realtors Holiday Luncheon at Pawleys Plantation.
My friend/colleague, Leigh Reid Hope, of First Trust Mortgage was doing a promotional drawing for a weekend at her beautiful Fairway Oaks Villa at DeBordieu. Congratulations to Mr. Dave Alexander, for winning the weekend!
This is actually one of the 3BR villas we use in our guest program, where we make the villa available for a couple of nights, at a nominal fee, to prospective buyers interested in purchasing real estate at DeBordieu.
It is also for sale! CLICK HERE on or the picture for details and a virtual tour.
