We are so pleased to have experienced and to have not only survived, but thrived in 2009. It is now time to usher in a New Year with all of its hopes and dreams of better times ahead for all.
I want to take a moment here to express some heart-felt thanks and gratitude to some individuals and companies for all that they have meant to me and to McCreary Realty!
First and foremost – my family … My wife, Lisa; my children, Aaron & Kim, Bess & Colleen; my beautiful grandchild, Katie and my Mother … thank you for all you have done for me and assisted me and just sat and listened to me throughout the year.
The staff here at McCreary … Teri, has been with us since the mid 1980’s. Her dedication to this firm is unparalleled. Megan has been one of the best “finds” in an employee this firm has known. Her zest for life and passion for customer service along with a great sense of humor helps set the pace for the office every day. Nikki keeps us all in line every day and does so with a wonderful smile on her face and a great quick wit. Joanna has been with the firm for several years working summers while in school. When tragedy hit our staff in August, she put her teaching career on hold to step up to the plate in a rare act of selflessness and has been nothing but a blessing every day! Keeping our HOA department in order this year has been a challenge that Janet readily and capably handled. It was wonderful to hear from all of the retiring Directors at the annual meetings over the past 2 months about how professional, helpful and in most cases indispensable she was this year. Melanie has handled all that life has thrown her in her personal life this year with such quite strength and grace that it is just humbling to be around her. Her HOA Directors echo Janet’s in that they are impressed with her professionalism, responsiveness and capabilities on a daily basis.
Everyday I walk in the front door, I am humbled to have the opportunity to work with such amazing women! Life around the office has changed a lot this year … sometimes for the better and sometimes not. As we enter 2010, we are all looking forward to a more stable year, armed with the knowledge and life experiences of the past.
To the companies we work with … Planet Synergy has been a great find for us. Raj, Anu & their team of talented techies have done a fantastic job with our new website, SEO and all of the new social networking activities that we are enjoying. Domin-8, the makers of our property management software, Tenant Pro … thank you for getting all of the updates out to allow us to handle all of the new data so much more efficiently. Comnexia, our own IT Team of professionals … they keep our server humming, backups, well backing up, viruses out, updates in and all in all things work like they are supposed to! All of our maintenance vendors … Ed, Steve, Kenneth, Betty, Lyle, Doug, Freddie, Larry, Eddie, Brad, Bob, Christian as well as the companies: pool companies, carpet cleaners, landscapers, roofers, attorneys, insurers, bankers, telecommunications, etc. … we could not get it done without your dedication, commitment and excellent service on behalf of our property owners and for the benefit of our residents!
To our clients … property owners and homeowners associaitons … we appreciate your business; we appreciate your confidence and trust in us; we appreciate the opportunity you give to us be of service to you every day! We would not be here today, after over 50 years of the family being in this business without you.
I fully expect twenty-ten to be a great year for McCreary Realty! We will continue to evolve with technology, systems and tools that will benefit our clients and customers.
Life is good and I am thankful for being here for another year to come!
Michael
