Old Realtors Never Die; They Just Become - Listless!

I've been in the real estate industry for many years. First as a Realtor, then I moved into the title end at the old Midland Title in Cleveland, w-a-a-a-y back in the 80's!
I've always been in  the marketing side of title, and over the years have worked with tons of agents form many companies. I've been with Them through many changes and merges of companies. The celebration of promotions to management and the heart break of change.
We, in the industry, have all repeated: "Old Realtors Never Die, They just become listless" and we laughed!
There is something to that saying. Once you've been a Realtor, for most, it seems, real estate really never leaves your blood.
The highest complement I get is when I get a call from "a voice from the past" that turns out to be a retired agent who is selling their home or is looking for help for a friend or family member.They tell me they are calling Gateway Title for help because they trust me. It means so much to hear those words.
I love it when  into them we meet by chance..it's old home week!
I volunteered to work at Ken Lanci's spot at the Broadview Hts. Home days this past week end and discovered many  Realtor friends from Bishop, Century 21 DePeiro, Realty One. We caught up on the times. These are good people who had a passion for the business. Bless them always.
"Old Realtors never die; they just become listless"!

Gateway Title Family Celebrates Life!

It's no secret,Gateway Title is a family business and this time last year, we were busy as a family, looking forward to Granddaughter Ashley's wedding to Joel.
Keeping all the plates spinning was a real challenge for everyone.
Here we are almost a year later, and now we celebrate new life...
Our family has been blessed with two new Babies is the past three weeks. Ashley and Joel have a beautiful son, baby Gage Robert -  Michelle's new Grand baby.
Last week Suzy's oldest, Joey and his wife Lauren,  gave us another precious Baby boy, also named Joseph.
Everyone is doing great!
In spite of everything else that is happening in the world outside, Life Goes On and LIFE IS GOOD!
Thank You God, for your blessings to our Family!
