Our Blog: where do you stand?

From the desk of ...

The real estate bubble has burst – leaving many homeowners unsure of their own domestic situations. I can relate. I find myself in the same situation – do I hold out on my prime location? Or do I chance it on a move?

I'm not talking of my actual home, but my home away from home – a contemporary, fully furnished, nicely lit workstation located in the center of 540 Maryville Centre Drive – Suite 100. Although I don't have the granite countertops or a view of the lake, this space is like a great loft in the city. My neighbors are fun, there is always something going on and the commute to the kitchen, bathroom and conference room is a breeze. Here's the downside. It can get a little rowdy when you're trying to work, my front stoop is commonly used as a bus stop for people waiting to jump on the Melissa Lackey Express (you gotta wait somewhere so you don't miss her) and no matter how many times I call the maintenance man out here, it's freezing in the winter and hot in the summer.

There is a lovely space (within my price range no less) that would work out great, the only problem is, it's a bit of a commute. Compared to where I am now, it's country living at its best. The back of the office is calm and quiet, and I've always heard that people who lived out in the country were friendly folks. I just might have to go check it out!

Until next time …
