I find it particularly hard at this juncture to talk about my life, my work or my achievements over the past 12 months. I do, however, take solace in knowing that I share one distinguishing trait with my father, his sincerity and compassion for making the lives of each and every person who crossed his path better in some way or measure. He did it through his medical practice and his involvement with so many community organizations over the years. I do it through my work as a Realtor® and my commitment to affordable housing, human rights, social justice and peace.

Although my sales performance results this year did not match the astonishing success I had in 2002, I will not succumb to pessimism, nor view the glass as half empty. I prefer instead to count my blessings and believe that everything happens for a reason. I will continue to provide outstanding service to my clients in 2004 just as I have done for the past nine years. I will set my sights high and marvel every time someone asks for my help in buying or selling a home. I love this job and I hope I can be of service to you, again and again.

Wishing you and your family peace, happiness and love this holiday season!

While my business (total sales volume & number of transactions) this year was down substantially from 2002, I reached a major milestone in 2003, surpassing the 30 million dollar mark in total sales volume. Usually, I don't think of my clients as statistics, but I do understand the importance of knowing who they are, what they want, where they want it, if they want exclusive representation, and how they came to me. All my clients are very special people who have come into my life and enriched it immensely. They straight and gay, some are baby boomers like me and others 30-something or younger, they single people and families with and without kids. While my 2004 Calendar succeeds in putting a face on these statistics, here's a brief synopsis of my 2003 client demographics, including What and Where they bought or sold:
