Happy Memorial Day 2025

Today we pause from market charts and mortgage talk to honor the brave men and women who gave everything in service to our country.

Memorial Day is far more than the unofficial start of summer or a chance to fire up the grill; it is a national day of remembrance for the men and women who gave the last full measure of devotion to protect the freedoms we cherish.

As many of you know, I served with the U.S. Army in Panama in 1989. That experience forever shaped my respect for those who raise their right hand and accept risks most of us will never face.

For the families who have an empty seat at the table because a loved one did not make it home, today can be especially poignant.

Please join me in honoring their sacrifice and in keeping their memory alive.

If you’re looking for a meaningful way to observe the holiday, consider:

• Visiting a local veterans’ cemetery to place a flag or flowers.

• Pausing at 3 p.m. local time for the National Moment of Remembrance.

• Supporting a veterans’ charity—even a small donation can make a difference.

• Simply sharing a story of a fallen hero with your children, friends, or neighbors.

Our team is proud to serve a community that values service, courage, and commitment. Whether you’re house-hunting, selling, or just staying informed, thank you for being part of our extended family. Your trust allows us to do what we love every day—and we never take that for granted.
