Inside this Issue – Spring 2004


Welcome to the Spring Issue of the S.E.C. Real Estate Observer, the e-publication of the Society of Exchange Counselors.
Spring is a special time of year symbolic of rebirth and renewal. This issue of the S.E.C. Observer is especially rewarding as it marks our third anniversary of publication. the Observer has grown and changed in great measure because of the thoughtful comments and insightful requests from our contributors and our readers.
Inside this issue, you will find a wide variety of articles that will enchance your real estate career in many ways. We also feature two particularly interesting sections. First, “Point-Counter Point”…an Analysis of two differing perspectives on “Funding Your Vision” and raising capital for real estate projects. Second is an amazing article entitled “A Journey of the Heart”, an inside look into the philantrophic lives of one of our S.E.C. members and their personal quest to make the world a better place.
The Society’s founding business principle remains true to this day: “Real Estate is a People Business”. We hope you enjoy this issue of the S.E.C. Real Estate Observer and welcome your comments.
