Home sales rose 17.1 percent across the nation in December 2009 compared to the same month in 2008, according to the REAL Trends House Market Report. This gain came despite the loss of urgency from first-time homebuyers since the related tax credit was set to expire through April 2010.  More surprising is that the average price of homes sold rose .6 percent – the first gain in over four years.

1. My wife gave birth on February 4th to our son Barclay. I am so thankful for my wife and my son.
2. I had the pleasure to work with wonderful clients and I was able to close 29 units in 2009 which was a 45% increase from 2008. I truly appreciate everyone I was able to help in 2009 and I also want to thank everyone who referred their friends and family to me. I look forward to serving even more clients in 2010.
