Welcome to the Liz Moore Insider!

Liz Moore and Associates’ Military Team, who are the exclusive local real estate support group for the Fort Eustis Go Army Homes network, is now participating in Go Army Homes “Get Sold Now” program.

The Go Army Homes Get Sold Now program has been carefully developed to help military families sell their home for top dollar as quickly as possible when they receive orders that require a relocation.

Sellers will receive a unique yard sign and business card designed to place the spotlight on their home and direct interested buyers to an exclusive web site for their property where they can view more photos and request additional information.

This morning’s mojo is in honor of Linda Molvar.  Linda and I had a running joke about my mojo, and I think it would make her smile to be the subject.

For those of you in Newport News who didn’t have an opportunity to know Linda, she joined us at Christmas time in 2009.  In the late summer of 2010, she was diagnosed with stage iv lung cancer.  She battled it courageously, undergoing exhausting chemo and radiation treatments, and if you’ll remember at last year’s Oscars, believed that she had beat it (as she claimed her top listings award for the Williamsburg office – a truly amazing feat given her health for almost ½ the year).  With carefully coiffed wigs, she was determined that no one would know she was sick, and that her business wouldn’t suffer.  Linda was very private about her illness, and fortunately supported by a small circle of close friends.

Although she wasn’t with the company very long at all, she made some very deep impressions in a brief period of time.  I learned a lot from her, and I’d like to share some Linda-isms this morning:

#1   Age is a state of mind.  You can still rule the roost at 64.

#2   You have to spend money to make money.

#3   You must list to last.

#4   St. Patrick’s Day is a day to be WILDLY celebrated.

#5   Image is important, but even divas can pull off rain gear.

#6   You can definitely teach an old dog new tricks, as long as they want to learn them.

#7   When all else fails, go gambling.

#8   The customer is definitely not always right.

#9   The true secret to success is having enough listings that you can work on your cell phone from the beach with your buddies and still make $$$.

#10  When you’re the Queen, happy hour is whenever you say it is.

Linda was truly a legend in Williamsburg real estate circles, and will be remembered for many years to come.  I feel blessed that she chose to finish her career with Liz Moore & Associates, and that she is now woven into the fabric of our company story.  I’m grateful that her suffering is over and that she’s at peace.  I know that I am joined by many of you to whom Linda was an inspiration – both personally and professionally.

A special thank you to Nan, Rebekah,  Donna P. and Diane, for their unfailing support to Linda and Henry, especially during the past few months.
