First of all, Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope that each of you are spending time with family or friends today, eating some great food, and doing things today that you enjoy. I want to send out a sincere thank you to everyone that I have worked with this year.  I’ve worked with some great people, from my co-workers at United Real Estate, to the many people that I’ve helped in buying or selling a home. I’ve enjoyed every single minute of it! Just wanted to take a few moments to save THANK YOU! I appreciate each and every one of you. I wish you all a Happy Thanskgiving and a wonderful holiday season! Erica
