As I write my letters every month, I truly enjoy sharing personal stories and hearing back from my clients. It helps me feel connected, sharing about real estate, but also about myself. Generally, I like to keep it light and upbeat. This month, to be honest, I am at a bit of a loss as to how to start my letter. Although we all need a distraction and entertainment, I want to acknowledge that the change and uncertainty we are experiencing right now is challenging. As we chart this new territory, it is particularly difficult to have to do it in isolation. I want to let you know that I care about you as part of a community, as a person, and as a friend. I welcome the opportunity to connect with you, any time, not just about real estate, but about what is going on in your life.

We celebrated moms in May with a great giveaway, so this month goes out to all the dads. Dads who keep us laughing, on track, in line, or off balance, there’s lots of ways to be a dad. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have both a great dad of my own and for my children. What they both have in common is that they march to their own drum, they love being a dad and it shows. They connect with their kids through action, by sharing the things they love to do whether it’s woodworking, cooking, video games, or camping. If you are lucky, like me, to have (or to know) a dad that is great in his own special way, then this is your chance to say Thank You.

As this month’s Item of Value, we’re celebrating Father’s Day in an epic way. Make your way to www.SociusAustin.com (or click here) any time throughout the entire month of June and register dad for one of our unique gifts, designed to inspire “together” after so many weeks apart. And just like with our moms, even if you don’t win, send me pics of you and your dad (or you and your kids) doing something special this Father’s Day, or pick up the phone and give me a call. I’d love to hear from you.
