Teaming up with business partner

As the weather has improved and the real estate market has begun to inch forward things have gotten pretty interesting for me in the last month. The most important thing is that I teamed up with fellow agent Tom Gron to handle listings together. It will be interesting to see how our strengths and weaknesses complement each other. It's sure nice having two people working on projects instead of one and it seems there is a synergy there. We wrote two new listings in the last few weeks so things are picking up. I had the chance to write "on the spot" offers on two bank-owned properties and that was a learning experience! Actually in retrospect they seem fairly easy since they are "as is" and there are almost no contingencies.

Things with the Cleveland Orchestra are still quite busy as we wind down the season with a performance of Dvorak's opera "Rusalka". We're taking it to the Salzburg Festival in August for 10 days, then on to the Lucerne Festival for a few days and then on to Milan and Turin. I look forward to this long tour but I don't look forward to being away from my family for so long.

My teaching at Oberlin College is done for the year so I'm finally getting a chance to unwind and get caught up on things.

Today is barbecue day and honor our soldiers and vets day. I hope you have a good holiday!
