Blessed and Happy New Year!

Here it is, Saturday, December 31…. New Year’s Eve, the last day 0f 2011.

I’m sitting here at my desk, reflecting on the ups and downs of this past year and looking forward to what 2012 will bring.

In a nutshell, 2011 was a very good year for me, for which I am very grateful. My kids are thriving, my husband is terrific, and even though I have gained about 200 lbs. (no, not really, but that’s what if feels like) my health is pretty dang good.

Selling real estate at one of the most beautiful places on earth is what I do for a living and I had a very good year. I was telling my brother how blessed I was this year and he said to me, “Troi, have you ever noticed that the harder you work, the more you’re blessed?” I cracked up, as I do often when my very funny brother speaks, but then I got to thinking..... the Good Lord gave me my life, and the opportunities within, but I have a responsibility to be a good steward of those opportunities.

Now being “good” at anything doesn’t come naturally to me. I’m one of those people who need to be motivated and trained…

HOW to be a good wife....

HOW to be a good mom...

and HOW to accurately and enthusiastically present the features and benefits of DeBordieu in a way that, should it be God’s will for the buyers to buy, they will have that opportunity.

In a nutshell, I must do my part, so that God can work through me to facilitate His plan for all concerned in the real estate transactions in which I am involved.

So I thank God for this past year, and ask his guidance and direction for 2012.

I hope your New Year is Blessed and Happy!

DeBordieu Polar Bear Club

Thrills and Chills on Christmas Day at DeBordieu!
Taking a chilly dip in the ocean is becoming quite the Christmas Day tradition at DeBordieu, the private oceanfront community just south of Pawleys Island, SC.

Every Christmas Day, at 1:00, the

DeBordieu Polar Bear Club meets at the beach access on the south end of DeBordieu, and all together, run into the ocean. Among these crazy people pictured here are the

McClary family, Abigail Luquire, Tommy and Thomas Roland, Dr. John Manning and sons, the Cameransi family, Derrick Close and his kids, the Tiller family, John Henry Whitmire, Pete Peterson and Joe Exum. Reports are that all got their hair wet, and all survived! See you next Christmas, Polar Bears! For more information contact TroiKaz@DeBordieu.com, or call 843-455-4523.

Funny Looking Security Guard at DeBordieu

For over 40 years, DeBordieu has enjoyed a cracker-jack security team and a 24/7 manned security gate. So why would these folks at my new listing on Sanderling hire a personal security guard?

Oh... for decorative reasons! LOL!

Here's a little treat for you.... I took my son & his gang Christmas Caroling a few years ago to the homes of some of my clients.

We had a blast.

Merry Christmas!

Christmas at DeBordieu!

I took some very nice folks from Sumter SC to lunch at the DeBordieu Golf Clubhouse after they closed on their lot last week. The decorations were absolutely stunning!

Since many DeBordieu owners make their primary homes in places like Charlotte NC, and Columbia SC, they don't get an opportunity to see the

gorgeous Christmas decorations. So here they are!

Many of our members enjoy having private Christmas Parties at the club, and we even have a few weddings this time of year. If you would like more information about our catering department, please give me a call and I'll make sure you get in touch with the right folks.

There is no time like the holidays to consider a purchase at DeBordieu!
