Three words come to my client's mind when
you ask, 'Who is Lonnie Shapiro?'; the words are 'Respected',
'Recommended' and 'Recognized'.
Respected by clients and fellow
professional agents alike - by clients who are buyers or sellers, by fellow
agents who are as highly respected as Lonnie.
Recommended by past clients who have
realized more dollars and a faster sale of their home than they ever
expected.
Recognized as a top producing real
estate sale professional for many years, an elite member of the "Star Power"
group of top national sales producing agents.
And, if that is not enough of an
endorsement, the following poem will tell you much about the pledge Lonnie
makes as your agent of choice.
Today
by Lonnie Shapiro
I'm going to help some people
today.
Someone needs my help to sell a house...not
just a house.
Chances are they've
 Lived there...
Loved there...
and despite the faults of the house or the
owners, it's a home. To them, I pledge the respect that I would want others to
have for my home and for the members of my family.
Someone needs my help today to find a
home…
not just a house. Invariably a new home means new hope
for
a new opportunity
a new job
a
new marriage
...a new start
a new neighborhood
a
new chance
for the warmth and joy and friends and
fulfillment they picture for themselves in their very best moments.
Not many people get the opportunity to help
other people in times so dear-to-life
...but I do
and I can
and I will
for their sake
and for mine.

Bargain Properties >A Home With a History A colorful history can add significantly to the value of a home. Researching the provenance of a property you are interested in buying can be both interesting and ultimately profitable. The market value of a home will be greater if it was designed by a notable architect, built by a company with a reputation for the finest construction, or lived in by a celebrity who hosted famous guests.
Ask your real estate agent if there is any historical data of significance associated with the home, or if previous owners were VIPs. Note the names associated with the deed and title to the home, and look them up with the help of the local historical society. Consult the microfiche in newspaper archives for references to colorful details of the home's past. The county assessor's office may have records of the date the home was built, and building permits may reveal the name of the architect. When inspecting the home, search closets and attics carefully for hidden historical "treasures".
Buying an older home at a bargain price, then re-selling when it is renovated and restored can be an enjoyable and lucrative adventure.
