October 7, 2010. Harper, Texas. Dottie and Fred.

I had known them for thirty years, now they have retired to Austin. They owned their own company in Rockville for thirty five years and did very well. Ethel, a friend at work, used to work with them and they have stayed friends, so last year Ethel visited them for a long weekend in Austin. One thing led to another and soon Ethel told them about our Texas connections. I connected with Dottie and we made a date, for them to come out to the ranch for lunch. It is a two hour drive from their home to our ranch. Today was the day.

Ken had never met them until today. I knew them from business. When I was an agent I sold their listings and they did the same to mine, then when I became a Manager it was easy resolving difficulties because I already knew them. They were always pleasant and helpful and certainly energetic about working out the problems. Dottie especially always had a sweet manner. Then they closed their company and moved to Texas, just like that. At first they kept their home in Rockville and planned to spend six months in each place, but once they moved to Texas they sold their home immediately. No more working half the year.

Their same qualities that made for success in Montgomery County Real Estate are serving them well in Austin. They love their life and have jumped into activities . There were no unhappy incidents, no complaints, no moaning about the weather. They are enthusiastic and energetic and happy, in other words, they are loving life. It is such a pleasure to see this in action.
