Hello everybody, I (Sonia) finally got my license and am now multitasking even more. I am the newest agent in this office and can now take clients and sell homes. I am very excited and am looking forward to this new and excited part of this job.

Overdue Update

2010-08-15T20:48:00.003-04:00

Steve and Rose came by the office yesterday and gave me a nice kick in the butt and told me to update the blog. So here I go. First floor is done and we have moved all of our computers, printers, and files to the first floor. It is awesome to say the least. Parking lot is in and you enter from Parkview. Thomas Excavating out of Adams and Phil's Paving from Henderson did an outstanding job. The porcelain tile was installed by Todd Schultz out of Adams and it really sets the whole office character. That tile is from Italy too by the way.There is still a second coat of paint that needs to go in my office and the hardwood floors and the second floor will be complete too.

Some big news is that we have two highly motivate salespersons who have joined the team and two more that are going to be on board shortly. Michelle Johnson comes to us from Copenhagen and her husband is currently serving with the 1st BCT, 10th Mountain Division is Afghanistan. Our prayers go out to him for his safe return next spring. Michelle has one listing in Sackets Harbor and just sold her first home last week. Go Michelle!!!

We also have Song French whose husband retired after over 20 years of service and he just returned from Afghanistan working as a civilian contractor. Song French has two listings, one in Glen Park and one in Black River and she sold her first home last month. It should be closing here in a couple weeks and I know she is excited about that.

Sonia, my wife, continues to run the day to day functions in the office that seem to never end. Between keeping the MLX up to date, our website up to date, and doing the accounting she really never gets a break.

Sonia and I are always working and it is not unusual if you are driving by at nine, ten, or even eleven o'clock at night and see the lights on and the open flag flying. We are trying to catch up and get ahead. If the lights are on and the flag is flying, WE ARE OPEN! Feel free to stop in for whatever you might need.

We will try from now on to post once a week and we look forward to any comments that you may have. Chat with you soon..... All American Real Estate

Showing progress.....

Work at the office are a bit backed up because we had to change contractor. But our bathroom is finally finished and bright. The downstair is all drywalled now (re-done) and ready to be finished before being painted. I believe next week is time for the tiles to go down. This past week the furnace has been put up. Great job done by SHAMBO'S Heating and Plumbing. They were very knowledgeable, friendly and the bid was worth giving them a call. If you want a job well done you should give them a shot.

JIM'S HANDYMAN Service is another outstanding business that needs your consideration if you are looking for a great contractor that has been around for a while and know what he is doing. He has been handling the project for the past three weeks and has worked non stop to make sure things move along smoothly, and they have thanks to his tireless effort and commitment to the project. Not only he is great at what he does, he also had few great ideas about the layout of the office that we did not hesitate to implement.

The weather here upstate has been outstanding with above average temperatures. It looks like it will hold for Memorial Day. Hopefully everybody will find a moment to enjoy some time off during this needed long week end.

Construction

2010-04-15T11:25:00.002-04:00

Full blown construction has begun on the building. The building has been gutted and we are now putting it back together. You have to love opening up that can or worms and see what you find. A few unexpected projects came up but nothing that we can't deal with.

I flew my brother in from Lake Tahoe along with his youngest son and they are working their butts off. Fineline Carpentry is heading up the project and keep things on track.

First floor drywall is almost complete, the bathroom is framed and wiring is going in.

Sonia and the boys are in West Palm Beach with the Varsity Lacrosse team from Carthage. They are playing a lot of lacrosse and having a blast. Yesterday they went on air boats and visited the everglades. Mike and Dan both had the opportunity to hold crocodiles yesterday and Sonia sent me the photos of them.

The last few days.....

2010-04-06T17:19:00.002-04:00

WOW!!! What a ride it has been since closing on the building and our loans for the business. That happened on Wednesday and on Thursday the phone and internet arrived to the office. And who would have expected it, but a buyer walked in the first day while we were setting up the office. We are not complaining.

The location of our new office is awesome and the traffic driving by each day is incredible. A lot of the local residents, our neighbors, and friends have been stopping by to check out the office and to say "Hi". It is such a nice environment to do business in.

Tonight is the final planning board meeting after 6 months and 4 meetings later to include, the Village Planning Board, Town of Leray, Jefferson County, and the Zoning Board of Appeals. We should get our final stamp of approval for our modifications to the building and the parking lot that will be installed. It was a long process but thanks to everyone involved they approved us each step of the way. Our plan was right in line with what the residents of Black River envisioned for the downtown development of Black River. Lucky Us!

Feel free to stop in and say Hi to Sonia (my wife) and Rebecca (our administrative assistant) and Roxy (our chocolate lab) she doesn't bite but might lick you to death. And if you are lucky, I might be in the office between listing and selling properties.

Hope you are enjoying our beautiful weather and don't forget to visit the CLAYTON BOAT SHOW in Clayton and the HOME SHOW at the fairgrounds in Watertown on April 9-April 11.
