Happy Tax Day!

Happy Tax Day! Did you know there are 526 tax forms to consider when doing your taxes? My personal favorite is Form 6478 – Credit for Alcohol Used as Fuel. (I don’t think the IRS really counts beer as fuel, though it does keep me going sometimes).

Allow me to blow my own horn…

As many of you know, I’ve adopted the RE/MAX charity, the Children’s Miracle Network as my own. With each sale, a portion of my commission is directed to the Children’s Miracle Network so they can continue their good work, helping children and their families with dire medical needs.

Congrats to Mark!

For example, all the RE/MAX offices worldwide have made a tremendous contribution to the health care of children at the premier children’s hospitals nationwide. The impact of RE/MAX support means:

856 repaired hearts
3,477 brain MRI’s
249 bone marrow transplants
742 lives without cancer
1,356 NICU beds

It was not just my privilege, but an unexpected honor that touched my heart. I look forward to meeting the real estate needs of my customers and clients, and together we can make a difference in the lives of children.

The Christmas Greetings are Pouring In!

Santa Visits RE/MAX Allegiance!

mgriffin — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:21:24 +0000

On Saturday, I hosted a “Photos With Santa” event for my customers…. the turnout was great, the kids enjoyed seeing Santa, and everybody enjoyed seeing the magic of Christmas in the eyes of the little ones.

Here’s a pic of me and Santa, and my seven year old son, Kevin enjoying his visit. It’s not only a pleasure, but it’s my honor to serve the real estate needs of Northern Virginia, and hosting Santa was just another way for me to show my appreciation to my customers for their loyalty and support.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!!

mgriffin — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 16:19:10 +0000

I recently invited all my former customers to a Washington Nationals game! A good time was had by all! We watched the Nat’s battle the Phillies.

We met at my office and traveled by chartered bus directly to the game. The Nat’s got off to a great start, but their pitching couldn’t hold up to the powerful bats of the Philadelphia Phillies.

The game was my way of saying "thank you" for the referrals and support my customers have given me over they years. It’s been not only my pleasure, but my honor to serve the real estate needs of buyers and sellers in Northern Virginia since 1994.

I’d also like to thank everyone who was able to attend! We all enjoyed seeing the new Nationals Park and the antics of their mascots Screech! and "The Presidents" running the bases… it was a great family event, and I hope to see everybody at the next Client Appreciation Event!

RE/MAX Allegiance at the Komen Race for the Cure

Hats off to My Colleagues Who Raced for the Cure!!

Many of my fellow agents got up very early this morning to help set up, work the support tents, and walk, jog, and run to show our support for breast cancer survivors and loved one’s who may have lost their battle to this awful cancer. RE/MAX contributes pink survivor T-shirts and caps, as well as "In celebration of" and "In memory of" back signs and program banners for every race. At the RE/MAX International convention, RE/MAX breast cancer survivors hold a fund raising fashion show… it’s truly an inspiration.

This year I was a donor, next year I’ll be with ya!!
