Happy New Year!
Almost half of us make them yet less than one in ten succeed. New Year’s resolutions have a long history, with the ancient Babylonians credited with the first ones some 4,000 years ago as they resolved each mid-March (when their new year began to coincide with when crops were planted) to return borrowed farm equipment to medieval knights who would renew their vow to chivalry. Adopted by the ancient Romans, the timing shifted to January 1st in 46 B.C. as the month of January was named for the two-faced Roman god, Janus, who looks forward to new beginnings as well as backward for reflection and resolution.
Even outside the historical context, the beginning of a new year feels a natural time to reflect on how the last year has gone and to set resolutions for a better year ahead. Traditionally, most resolutions relate to self-improvement (lose weight, quit a bad habit etc.), but what if for 2025 the focus shifted to setting intentions vs. achieving goals. In other words, making resolutions about who you want to be in the present moment and how you want to show up in your life. In this way, your focus is on your values—what is important to you in all areas of your life from physical and mental health to your relationships and career. Of course, goals are important because they are about what we do, but perhaps setting powerful intentions will empower us to set and achieve goals.
Someone you know may have a New Year’s resolution to make a move. Well, we can help them with that, help you and help a worthy cause at the same time.

A real estate company with experience, proven results and a give-back philosophy!
As you know, the decision to pack up your life and move to a new home comes with a lot of pressure. Along with the countless details to manage and a rollercoaster of emotions, there are significant financial concerns. Will the sale of your home meet both your expectations and needs?
With our experience of working with almost 1,000 families over the last 17 years, we’ve developed a special program to help homeowners make their move Fast, For Top Dollar and with the Least Hassle!
For the month of January, for anyone you know wanting to sell their house, I will guarantee the sale of their home for 100% of Market Value or I’ll Pay them the Difference.*
I know there’s some risk on my part to make such an incredible guarantee, but we are selling just about every home we list for the market value price - sometimes even more - so there is no reason for area homeowners or your friends and family to fret about selling right now. They will be in good hands with our team.
If you or anyone you know is considering making a move, I would like to offer them a FREE No Obligation to Move Consultation to discuss just how they can make their move, get what they want and do it with the least hassle.
We’re grateful we got to do business with you and I’m confident that your referrals will be grateful that you steered them in the right direction to help them get their home sold!
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital is Making a Difference Today and for Tomorrow
Another way you can honor the spirit of gratitude is to partner with us to help others who are less fortunate.
We’d like to partner with you in an even more significant way to give a much-needed break to some children who are putting in a level of work that’s hard to imagine. As part of our mission statement, we donate a portion of our income from home sales to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Many don’t know that they lead the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Families NEVER receive a bill from the hospital for treatment, travel, housing, or food - because they believe all a family should worry about is helping their child live! Donations make this possible. So, YOUR REFERRALS DO HELP THE KIDS.
Over the last decade and a half of helping almost a thousand families sell their home and/or buy another, we have met some wonderful, loving, caring people. People like you! As we move forward, please know we are extremely thankful for you being a special part of our business.
Thank you in advance for your referrals!
The best number to reach me at is 219-281-8502.
We are so grateful. Thank you for reading over this month’s Homeward Bound and thank you for referring anyone you know considering buying or selling to my team. They will be in good hands and a very worthy cause will benefit as well.
With all my appreciation,
Be, Do, Have!
