I wanted to take a moment before the 2010 season comes to an end to say thank you. We just had Thanksgiving and were heading fast toward Christmas and the new year already. It’s hard to believe I started selling Real Estate in Rockford nearly 11 years ago already, where does the time go. At times like this, the holidays, I always like to look back and thank those in my life I am thankful for. I have a great family, support team in my office and even though times get tough for all of us we live not only in a strong community but a world that allows us so much freedom to become who we want and achieve things that we could not in other areas so for that I am tankful as well.
I wanted to extend a sincere thank you for all your local support over the last 11 years and years to come. Your business and referrals have never gone un-appreciated and I know that without community support our busienss could not survive so thank you from all of us at The Derrick Monroe Group and we wish you a very happy holiday season from our family to yours. Derrick Monroe – Dorothy Marschel – Ron Monroe – Anne Monroe
