Consumers spend a scary amount during spooky season. We’re not tricking you about that. Halloween spending last year hit a record $12.2 Billion dollars.
As you may know, Halloween was quite a different holiday millennia ago. Known as Samhain at that time, it represented the end of summer and a day when it was believed the barrier between the living and dead was thinnest, so spirits (good and evil) were free to wander the Earth. Dressing up in costumers and offering food was a way of placating the potential wrath of any nasty ones.
These days, Halloween is decidedly less scary and more fun, and no longer is it just about wandering the block to trick-or-treat for a couple of hours. Many use it as an anchor for a full season of fun events for adults and kids alike. They view it like a hall pass – permission to escape the real world for a day.
Have fun and be safe as you do your own celebrating at the end of this month and while you’re handing out treats, think about lending a hand to someone you know who might have to ditch the celebrations entirely because they need to sell their home for one reason or another. For many, that can be a truly scary prospect with a monstrous to-do list and horrifying uncertainty surrounding timelines, finances and things to do. It can be quite a trick to get everything to work, but we can help!
Deciding to make a move to a new home carries with it a lot of stress. Not only are there hundreds of big and little details to attend to, not to mention a bucketful of emotions, there are also serious financial matters at stake. Will you get what you want and need when your home sells?
With our experience of working with over 5,000 families over the last 20 years, we’ve developed a special program to help homeowners make their move Fast, For Top Dollar and with the Least Hassle!
For the month of October, I will guarantee, in writing, the sale of an area home for 100% of Market Value or I Will Pay the Difference.
I know there’s some risk on my part to make such an incredible guarantee, but we are selling just about every home we list for the market value price — sometimes even more — so there is no reason for area homeowners or your friends and family to fret about selling right now.
So, a little work on your part to share this important news with people you care about can save them a lot of hard work and stress.
If you or anyone you know is considering making a move, I would like to offer them a FREE No Obligation to Move Consultation to discuss just how they can make their move, get what they want and do it with the least hassle.
We are very happy we got to do business with you and I’m confident that your referrals will be very happy with you for steering them in the right direction to help them get their home sold!
Another way you can help someone deal with a truly scary situation is to partner with us to put a smile on the face of some little ones who could use it most.

Helping others is a treat, isn’t it? I hope my newsletter this month inspires you to pay it forward to help those you know which in turn will help this very worthy cause.
Growing up in Kenya, I always dreamed of visiting Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld in Orlando. As an adult, I’ve had the privilege of taking my family there. Little did I know, right around the corner, existed an 89-acre, whimsical non-profit resort providing critically ill children and their families from your community and around the world with magical week-long wish vacations at no cost.
I was introduced to Give Kids the World Village by a fellow real estate broker who set up a business meeting at their facility. I watched as they made wishes possible at an accessible storybook home-away-from home where the ice cream was as limitless as the opportunities for fun and adventure. I was so moved I rallied everyone at my business to pull together and go all in on supporting Give Kids the World Village financially.
From life’s simple pleasures to the stuff that dreams are made of, every wish family is treated to an all-inclusive experience including transportation, accommodations, donated theme park tickets, all meals and snacks, nightly entertainment, daily gifts, and more. Since 1986, Give Kids the World has welcomed more than 188,000 families from all 50 states and 76 countries to laugh together, play together, and create priceless memories away from hospital stays and medical treatments.
My team and I are committed to providing outstanding results for our clients who are selling and buying the place they call home. I have discovered Give Kids the World Village shares similar commitments to the kids and families they serve. And since their services survive on sponsorships and donations, we are happy to donate a portion of our income to support them. I encourage you to visit their website at www.gktw.org and check out how they are making a difference in the lives of children and their families!
