Finding Your Way Home

Mark Bond 11 years ago

Okay....so you've toured the neighborhood...fallen in love with the Lifestyle, the amenities and, well....everything else that makes living here a dream for many.

So you make an offer....oops....there's already an offer on the table....with nothing to offer at that point, but a hastily drafted offer and a check drawn on funds from an out-of-town bank......you watch as your dream home vanishes before your very eyes.

Ponds and Paddles

By

Mark T. Bond

 

A morning mist hovers over a calm expanse of water.  Feathery green boughs glisten with sun-dappled dew as nature awakens to dawn. 

Outfitted in sandals, shorts and a John Denver tee, a virgin paddler gently glides his kayak from shore.  Riding low in this composite hull, with easy strokes, he tracks silently across the pond, one with the water.

To be the "Fly on the Wall" while a Buyer tours your home....what might you hear?
