Laura Godbeer’s Weblog

Wow, has it really been almost 6  months since my last post?

A lot has happened, I don’t even think I can remember it all.  A big congrats to S.R. + C.R, I hope you are enjoying your new house.  As well congrats to first time home buyers D.M. + S.G…..  As well to C.D. +M.D. for the quick sale of your townhouse and to S.W. I am very excited for you, possession in your very first home is tomorrow!

I’m sure I am forgetting a lot, life has been pretty crazy, but then again I think I always say that.  My family and I are anxiously awaiting the birth of our 2 little boys, less than 2 weeks to go… Then it’s back to work for me!

Hopefully I will be a little better in updating this blog.  2010 looks to be very promising with a lot of people wanting to buy and sell their home…..

Laura

Well life has been pretty crazy, I’m busy trying to adjust my website and branding, as well as prep to get out more marketing material so I can increase my client base and sales….

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank G.O and J.C for their referal, I greatly appreciate it.  As well, big congrats to R.S and S.S who will take possession of their new house at the end of the month!

Really the headline says it all…

As some of you might know, Sean and I have recently decided to go our seperate ways in regards to our partnership.  We both felt that our personalities as well as different circumstances lead to this decision.  Although we are no longer partners, we wish each other the best and will continue to work amongst each other in the same office and hope to be able to do deals and work together in the near future.

As for myself, a lot has changed as you can see, I have now reverted back to my old blog, updating the posts that I made during my partnership with Sean, just so everyone could follow along with me during my career ups and downs and throughout all the changes and partnerships.

I have been keeping very busy with work and will continue to be in close contact with all previous clients.  A big shout out to J.H. as she is waiting to remove the subjects on her very first home.  Congrats, I am so happy you were able to find the perfect place, it’s absolutely beautiful.

As for my personal life, everything is wonderful, I couldn’t be happier, I haven’t been feeling the greatest lately, but will explain why in a couple of months…..

Laura

Sorry for the long wait in between posts….

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather.  I’ve been keeping really busy with work, writing up an offer, which should go pending within the next couple of days.  I’m currently working with a lot of buyers, so hopefully there will be something that comes on the market soon.

Sean is still in India, and should arrive back home to Victoria shortyly.  Big congrats to him and Gina, I’m sure there will be lots of stories and pictures to follow upon his return.

I also wanted to congratulate Josh and Liz, your wedding was beautiful, I’m looking forward to when you come home from the Dominican Republic, and yet so jealous all at the same time….

As for everything else, nothing really new to report, just spending a lot of time outside, hiking up Mt. Finlayson, so beautiful up there, everyone should do it at least once, you won’t regret it.  It’s definately BBQ season, so hopefully everyone is enjoying spending time with friends and loved ones.

Thank you to everyone who’s shown patience and understanding this week.  As some of you might already know.  I was at my office working late and totally bailed and hit my head on the tile floor.  Thankfully after spending 6 long hours at the emergency getting tested and having a CAT scan, I am happy to say that my neck and skull was not fractured, I have a wicked headache due to my concussion, but I am very fortunate that I will not sustain any lasting injuries.  I am taking it a little easy, but am still working and will get back to everyone as soon as I can.

The headline basically says it all, what a crazy week!

From having subjects removed on our very first deal together (congrats to G.C.& E) to showing clients different houses, 2 presentations and picking up a couple of buyers, it’s been hectic….

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend.  I currently have my in-laws visiting from Edmonton, so it is nice to be able to celebrate the holidays together.  Yesterday, Sean came over and I cooked a gourmet waffle breakfast topped with berries and whipping cream, followed by an over the top Easter egg hunt for my 3 year old daughter.  I have a feeling I will have candy for months!  Sean is keeping busy hanging out with his family and friends, and is planning a trip back to India next month, which is very exciting. 

Other than that, it’s been work work work, we are keeping very busy meeting with new clients and look forward to closing another deal soon…..

Laura and Sean

Laura and Sean are proud to announce our new partnership.  We are excited to continue to strive to be Victoria’s #1 real estate team, and know that with our commitment, knowledge and excellent networking skills, we will take Victoria by storm.

Laura and Sean have known each other for a couple of years, as we use to work with each other with Royal LePage.  Although we had previously discussed partnering up, the time was not right until now….   We officially partnered up March 16, 2009 and haven’t looked back.

It’s been a crazy first couple of weeks, everything from switching over clients, to ordering new business cards, updating websites and ironing out our new partnership.  I am pleased to say we are actively prospecting, trying to get our names out there, doing open houses weekly, meeting new clients, working with past clients, showing properties to buyers and doing many listing appointments.  We have already written up one offer with subjects to come off in a couple of days, and have the opportunity to write up another offer soon.  We have been busy, but wouldn’t have it any other way……

Laura and Sean

Well everyone, this is definately going to be quite a change for me.  I am now on my own representing myself, under my newly married last name, and I have changed brokerages.  I am officially a part of the Pemberton Holmes family. 

Thank you to all the Royal LePage Coast Capital Realty.  I truely made some amazing friends, and couldn’t of done this without you.  You have pointed me in the right direction and I look forward to continuing on in my journey to become a very success Realtor.

Just wanted to show everyone some pics of me and my family and friends……

 I’ll keep you posted on how everything is going…..

Sincerly,
