Client Testimonial
Joujou was our buyer and seller agent. We decided to go with her because of her extensive knowledge and stellar reputation in the Danville and Blackhawk markets. We knew a contingent sale would be tricky in this temperamental market. We knew Joujou had the connections, inventory, and network to find the house that would meet our very unique needs and choices. She and her team made the process seamless during a very unpredictable time. We were out of the country the first week the house was on the market and before we returned she had secured a potential buyer for our house and found the most beautiful home for us. We got the price we expected for our home sale and she negotiated a great deal for our new home. I can write chapters on how wonderful our experience was working with Joujou her awesome team and the ancillary experts she connected us with. Joujou is not just our real estate expert but has become a friend through this process. Thanks, Team Joujou!

DID YOU KNOW?
Reliability + Certainty
Some things are 100% certain and reliable, and January 1st is one of those days. The end of a year and the dawn of a new one. In this roller-coaster world where the highs and lows seem to become more extreme each day, and the only certainty we speak to is the certainty of change, we tend to forget that quite several things are very reliable and certain, so here are some examples and how they may relate to you.
-
Markets rise and fall. They always have and always will. They also almost always recover. And mostly they surpass their prior ‘highs’. The only unknown about recovery is the timing. Just look at any graph – over years, not weeks or months – to see the picture more clearly.
-
Births, marriages, deaths, divorces, career changes, made fortunes, lost fortunes, retirements and all cyclical life changes never stop. They too are certain and reliable. Again, their timing is the only thing that varies. They are the primary drivers of real estate markets. Real estate and life are inexorably intertwined.
-
Every year certainly has just four quarters. But no quality, substantive career is made up of just four quarters. Think decades, not quarters.
-
Every day has just 24 hours. Every human body needs sleep to recharge, leaving a lot less awake time to do all you have to do. Time remains the last luxury, the one thing no amount of money or power can buy.
-
Assuming Americans live to an average age of about 78 years old, translated into reality, that is just 28,470 days or 683,280 hours. If you are 39 years old, cut these numbers in half to get some perspective of how little time we have to do LOTS! Every life has a beginning, middle, and end.
-
Birthdays, public holidays, religious holidays, etc happen reliably and consistently every single year, celebrate them, and commemorate them. And seek marketing and messaging opportunities too.
So as we enter the uncertainty of another year (uncertainty is pretty reliable and certain too!), almost certain to deliver surprises good and bad, let’s also be reminded of all the certainties that exist that are certain to fuel us and make us SOAR to new heights! I’m a firm believer that the best is yet to come.
