We knew we’d need to do something with our office.  We’ve owned our office condo for many years, the country’s been in a deep recession but seems to be slowly coming back, so should we sell or lease it?

Initially we thought we’d sell but a number of other building owners encouraged us to lease.  There were pros and cons to both scenarios, but ultimately we leased it last summer to a great attorney – who coincidentally, we’ve known for a long time through various local organizations.

This was our first taste of our transition…

We had all our paper files from all of our real estate transactions going back unpteen years, our computer network with all that data…

So everything got moved back to our home where we set up a home office for the next several months, than began scanning all our flies and ultimately shredding all the paperwork. There were many trips of shredded paper back to the office dumpster!

I’ve loved our office, overlooking the bike path and trees.  Initially I thought I’d miss it, but after we’d turned it over I realized I was now looking ahead and not back.  The years spent working there were great, but new things await!

A lot of good memories of meeting great friends and clients in our former office!
