THE FINAL ROUND-UP
It’s time to say goodbye. For almost twenty years, it has been my pleasure to write the REAL ESTATE ROUND-UP for the Whiskey Creek News. It is time to pass that torch on to another. Thank you for the many complements and comments I have received from readers like you. I know that I have helped some of you. I hope I have helped all of you to appreciate what a delightful community we call home. I am proud to be a Realtor, and I look forward to helping my daughter, Jennifer Letourneau, as she continues our real estate business.
In my March 2007 article, I pointed out that Realtors® pledge to have a higher standard of business conduct than is required by the state. Realtors subscribe to one of the oldest codes of ethics for trade groups in the country.
The preamble of that code of ethics, adopted over a century ago, highlights the importance of integrityin business relationships. It states, “REALTORS® can take no safer guide than that which has been handed down through the centuries, embodied in the Golden Rule, “whatsoever ye would that others should do to you, do ye even so to them.”
I hope that Golden Rule will continue to guide my life in the future, whether on the golf course, or strolling the streets of Whiskey Creek, or enjoying family, grandkids and neighbors. Thank you, Whiskey Creek, and every one of you that lives here. We are so blessed.
