This last weekend started out quietly here in Springfield Missouri. Only had one client to open a house for, so my "Hubby" and I took off on the motorcycle, thinking we'd go for a short ride after meeting with our clients. It's been six months since we spent time together on the cycle.
Prepared to take photos of the Springfield area and the wonderful parks, I grabbed the camera and off we went, head phones on, cell phone clipped to the head phone.
Our first stop took longer than we anticipated, so we quickly dashed to Springfield. Our first stop was Burrell Park. Located across from the Hulston Cancer Medical Center, this is one of the most beautiful parks to walk around and enjoy in Springfield.
Before I finished taking photos, we received a call that an offer had been received on one of our listings. We quickly called the seller and found out they would not be home for a few hours, so off we went back to my office, picked up the contract and headed back into Springfield to take more photos.
After a quick lunch at Smokey Bones, next stop was Jordan Valley Park. Included in the park is Hammons Field. This is the home of the 
Springfield Cardinals Baseball team, the Double A Texas League affiliate of the St Louis Cardinals and the Missouri State University Bears. They've only been in Springfield since April 2004. Here's the schedule for 2007.
John Q Hammons, owner of Hammons Field also built the Jordan Valley Ice Park and Hammons Tower.
Our next stop was 2426 N Grant, Springfield. With a few minor adjustments to the contract, the buyers and sellers came to an agreement. So far a successful day. Before leaving their home, another call came in. One of our clients had family in town for a few hours and wanted to see the inside of their new home in Ozark. Off we went once more. Now it's starting to get later in the day.
Thinking we'd better head for home, we receive another call - another offer on one of our listings - Ozark Jubilee. Off to the office, once more. This time we were able to email the contract, call the client and receive another accepted offer.
And they say real estate is slow? 
We thought we had a great morning - but Babe it's been a great afternoon!!

Every year the 
The first Business expo was held here at the Ozark Community Center. Located on the square in the center of Ozark, it held approximately 40 vendors and parking was a problem. The new High School has plenty of space for all the vendors and parking galore.
