The American Dream of Home Ownership is Dead!
What is the “American Dream?”
The American Dream?
Recently I wondered to myself (sort of a crisis of belief) “what matters most to me?” Every person in the United States and in every geographic region, across all cultures has been passed down to them a mental picture, or vision, of what the future could/should be. One of the common threads of dreams for the average American is that one day we will own our own home. However, many today find that their home (or “dream”) owns them and has become a nightmare instead. We all have a natural tendency to attach hopes and dreams to the things we deem have “value.” Jesus taught, “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be as well.” So, there is a real danger in attaching too much value to anything material.
Fresno home value’s are 40-70% down from just five years ago and home owners are faced with the difficult decision to hold on to a dream that seems to be dying or let go of their homes and replace that dream with a different picture or vision for their lives. Selfishly, as a Fresno REALTOR I would love for everyone to buy a home (and let me help them!). However, I would caution all of us not to put too much value in something so fragile, like owning anything. What seems to last are things like faith, hope and love.
So, the question is, “what matters most to you? What’s your dream?” Is it still home ownership? Is it something entirely different? Is that dream full of hope for a brighter tomorrow?
We would love to hear from you your thoughts on “The American Dream.” Is it dead or is it changing for the better?

What Advice do you have for Small Business Owners in Fresno?
As most small business owners know it is difficult to grow your business and most small businesses fail. After many years of serving and working as a pastor in local Fresno churches I have learned some things that I think can help anyone in business for themselves. Whether you are selling or investing in real estate, own a pool company or provide health and fitness services, you need to understand the power of our interactions. Our beloved Starbucks understands this full well. I will actually drive past other coffee shops to get to a Starbucks where I know I will be warmly greeted and thanked for stopping by.
Small Business Lessons Learned

The other day I found myself wandering through a local Target (I must have been looking for some living “essential,” like a pizza cutter) I ran into an old friend’s mom. At first I thought to myself, “just smile and keep moving, you are too busy.” It must have been at least 18 years since I have seen her last (I was a kid and now she could barely recognized me). I reintroduced myself to her, she gave me a big hug, I’m sure recalling some trouble that her son and I must have caused years ago. She said to me, “How’s business? I drive by your sign everyday.” I was a bit surprised, because I hadn’t thought about her in years. She was with one of her sons (not my friend). She said to me, “This son will be ready to buy a new home in a couple months. Do you have a card?” I did and I also was reminded of a couple very important things that day.
