I like the Villages Agents better. They never hound you or pressure you and perhaps even their standards are higher. Jim McLaughlin is a very nice man. A good person. A decent soul with good common sense and he frequently says; "I don't know Gracie. You will hear it the same time I do".
He doesn't have to do anything. People are lined up to buy new homes and used here. The real estate market is up 9% over last year. We bought in Bridgeport at Laurel Valley when it took a few hours until the view lots were sold out. When we bought in Hadley we saw a house we loved and it was off the market and I thought they were trying to fox us. Nope. We bought the one next to it and in the house we missed out on, there lived who became our treasured friends, Norman and Ruthie. I painted a large painting of an Egret in her memory and it hangs in the front hall of this house.
I miss you Ruthie and your beautiful face at my door saying; "Come on Gracie, let's go shop for accessories. She said it so "Chicago".
