Recommendation letter from past Agent

November 10, 2008


To whom it may concern:

This letter is a professional recommendation letter for Cynthia Reece. I have known Cynthia for 2 years both as the broker-in-charge and as our sales and training coordinator for Dickens-Mitchener and Associates, a firm specializing in residential real estate for Charlotte, North Carolina and the surrounding areas.

Cynthia was a very dedicated and professional individual. Not only was she highly professional in her knowledge of the local real estate she was also very motivational and inspiring in training new agents. She would suggest new directions and avenues whenever we(the agents) would hit a road block and guide us back onto the track. I used many of her suggestions which helped become very successful in my first year as a new agent. Cynthia taught our new agent training which thoroughly cover topics such as agency, how to prepare a CMA, listing presentations, marketing, call time, open houses, just to name a few. She created an interesting and fun learning environment for us which was highly effective in motivating us. She also had an excellent support staff which was the foundation for the highly successful firm.

Cynthia is TOPS in my book. She was great to work with and I would highly recommend her.

Sincerely,

Dave Agnor

Maya Cultural Festival at El Pilar, Belize May 4 2008

El Pilar is a very large archaeology site on the western most border of Belize. The site is actually in two countries, Belize and Guatemala. Dr. Anabel Ford, of the University of California Santa Barbara, first surveyed the area in 1986.

I attended the Maya Cultural Festival at El Pilar on May 4, 2008. The slideshow is running in the top right corner of this blog.

The Belize River Archaeological Settlement Survey (BRASS) was founded with the idea that we should concentrate on studying the people who made it all work, the average Maya farmer, to get a better picture of ancient Maya society. BRASS began work in 1983 in the Upper Belize River Valley north of San Ignacio and, in 1993, reached the ancient Maya city of El Pilar.

In 1993 the BRASS project began to devote all of its resources to the study of El Pilar and it quickly became evident that it was an important and unusual site. The city turned out to be larger than expected. Still not fully explored, we now know that El Pilar has at least three large sections that straddle the Belize-Guatemala border and are interconnected by causeways, one of which is almost 100 feet wide with walls along both edges. So far the archaeologists have identified more than 25 plazas covering more than 100 acres and more than 70 major structures. It is the largest center in the Belize River area, more than three times the size of other well-known centers such as Cahal Pech or Xunantunich.

Easter Sunday in San Ignacio, Belize

In Belize, Easter is celebrated for days. It starts with Holy Thursday and finishes up with Easter Monday. Everything closes on Easter Friday then Saturday is a big celebration day and as I went to work my 2nd day at the Easter Fair, apparently Easter Sunday afternoon is a great day to hang by the river and literally "chill out."

The Container Cometh Through the Port Of Belize

My container is in country. I apparently have a lot of paperwork and accounting still left to do before I can get it delivered. It arrived right on time 2/22 and I’ll spend tomorrow calculating what my worldly goods are worth, box by box. Once the value of my goods is established for the purpose of Duty Tax and it is paid to my Customs Agent, my Customs Agent will get the Customs Office in Belize City to send a Customs Guard with a truck driver and my container to Santa Elena where they will meet at Customs Officer. They will then proceed to go through every single box to verify that what I have inventoried is indeed what is in each box. That is if all goes smoothly. From what I understand this could be quite a process and take a few “back and forths.” The big point is that the container can not be opened at the port because it is packed so full there is no way to get it closed again once it is opened. Oh, boy, the next phase begins. And I know there is not nearly enough room in my little house for all my stuff.
