The American Dream: It is as old as this land, and as near as the heart of all humanity. Its the chance to achieve success, to find a fulfilling career, and to own a home that is your very own. My career has been about helping people achieve that dream. My path has taken me from the Andover schools (Go Trojans!), to Wichita State University earning both undergraduate and graduate degrees (Go Shockers!), to nearly 20 years on the faculty of three local colleges. It has also included over 20 years at a neighborhood pharmacy advancing into progressively senior positions. Throughout this time there has been one overall theme, helping people make their lives better. In many conversations with students and with friends, I have heard people question whether the American Dream was still achievable, whether the home that most of us want is within reach. And again and again I have enthusiastically shared with people that that Dream is still within reach, that the vast majority of us can afford our own home. In many ways the better question is:  Can you afford not to own a home? Recognizing that you have to live somewhere, you will either be buying a home or apartment for someone else by renting, or you will be buying it for yourself by owning. Basically, I have been promoting home ownership long before becoming a Realtor, demonstrating that the best investment has always been in yourself, in your health, your education, and in your home. If you would like to achieve the dream of home ownership, move up to your dream home, or downsize to a more manageable home give me a call, send me a text, shoot me an e-mail.
