Debbie Murray Is A Master Certified Negotiation Expert.

Using a Master Certified Negotiation Expert (MCNE) when buying or selling a home gives you a critical advantage in one of the most significant financial transactions of your life. These professionals have advanced training in negotiation strategies, psychology, and communication, allowing them to secure better terms, higher sale prices, or more favorable purchase conditions. Whether you’re a buyer or seller, an MCNE understands market trends, pricing tactics, and how to create leverage in complex negotiations.

For sellers, this means maximizing your property’s value, minimizing days on market, and navigating multiple offers effectively. For buyers, it means protecting your interests, avoiding overpayment, and ensuring favorable contingencies. MCNEs are trained to handle difficult conversations, overcome objections, and prevent costly mistakes, especially in competitive or emotionally charged environments.

What truly sets an MCNE apart is their ability to think strategically and act confidently under pressure. They focus not just on getting a deal done—but getting the best deal for you. When thousands of dollars are on the line, working with someone who has mastered the art and science of negotiation is more than a luxury—it’s a smart investment. In today’s fast-moving real estate market, having that edge can make all the difference.

Happy New Year

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving. Texas Associate Broker Debbie Murray of Allie Beth Allman & Associates wishes you and yours a very special Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving, celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States, has deep historical roots dating back to the early 17th century. The first widely recognized Thanksgiving occurred in 1621, when English Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony in present-day Massachusetts shared a feast with the Wampanoag people. This three-day event was a thanksgiving celebration for the Pilgrims’ successful harvest, and it included games, feasting, and the sharing of food like turkey, corn, and fish. While the exact nature of this gathering is debated, it is often considered a symbol of cooperation between the Pilgrims and Native Americans.

However, the concept of giving thanks for a bountiful harvest existed long before this event. Native American tribes, for example, held annual ceremonies to honor the Earth’s abundance. The Pilgrims, who were Puritans seeking religious freedom, had their own traditions of prayer and feasting as a way to give thanks to God for their survival in the New World.

In the years that followed, Thanksgiving became a more localized observance, with different colonies and communities celebrating harvests at different times. It wasn’t until 1863, during the Civil War, that President Abraham Lincoln declared Thanksgiving a national holiday. Lincoln aimed to unite the divided nation and give thanks for the Union’s victories. He proclaimed the last Thursday of November as a day of “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father who dwelleth in the Heavens.”

Since then, Thanksgiving has evolved into a holiday marked by family gatherings, feasts, and expressions of gratitude. Over time, it became associated with traditions like the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, football games, and the start of the holiday season. While its history is layered and complex, Thanksgiving remains a time to reflect on gratitude, community, and abundance.

The History Of The Mint Julep

The History Of The Mint Julep. The origins of the Mint Julep did not begin at Churchill Downs. Although it is the official drink of the Kentucky Derby (since 1939), and horse racing in general.

The Gulab was a mixture of water and rose petals in the Middle East. It was used as bathwater by nobility and for medicinal purposes. This spread to the Mediterranean where the rose petals were replaced with bountiful mint leaves and the concoction was known as Julab.

In the 1800’s the drink reached America. The high British taxes on rum and brandy after the Revolution caused Americans to substitute those spirits with our own bourbon. The stablemasters would take a shot of whiskey as an “eye opener” in the morning and bourbon became popular around stables and race tracks.

The 2024 Kentucky Derby is this Saturday, May 4th at 6 PM.
