EXTREME MAKEOVER HERE WE COME!

Today is the day!!!!  We are official volunteers for Extreme Makeover Home Edition!  Yippeee!!!  We are so excited to be able to give our time and service to help a wounded warrior right here in the San Antonio area...the family is so deserving and have sacrificed so much for OUR FREEDOM.  We will be heading out to Floresville tonight from 8pm to 2am with our work gloves in tow..ready to help where we can.  Although they are no longer taking volunteers...spectators are welcome.  From what I understand, things are moving right along and the BIG reveal will be Saturday afternoon. 

If you are interested in learning more about this deserving family...you can read about them on the Morgan's Wonderland website  Morgan's Wonderland.

What an honor and a blessing this will be for all of the member's of The Claus Team!  We are truly grateful for all of our military members and the risks they take to protect our freedom.  We are also thankful for the families that stand behind them...often spending many days, weeks, and months without them...they can serve because they have you supporting them. 

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

We keep you posted on how it goes!!!!

Want to buy a home now or in the future....Read on!!

Homeownership is part of the American dream.  Are you ready to realize that dream NOW?  Or are you ready to realize that dream...but not financially ready?  Maybe you have owned a home before and want to buy a new one.  Whatever your circumstance is, The Claus Team is here to help you realize your dreams. 

On Tuesday, January 17th, The Claus Team will host a FREE....yes FREE....homebuyer seminar.  We will have a local lender that we trust and respect present to give you TONS of valuable information on purchasing a home.  This seminar is great for everyone...first time homebuyers, previous/current homeowners, etc.  Even if you know you cannot purchase a home now due to bad credit, low income, or whatever your reason...you should come.  There will be plenty of tips on how to get yourself into a position to purchase a home. 

Of course, our Claus Team realtors will be present to answer questions about the housing market, explain the home buying process, and help you to decide if and when homebuying is a good choice for you!

LAYAWAY ANGELS!

Wow, Christmas is only a few days away!  We are all so busy finishing up at work, getting the last of the gifts, wrapping the presents, and preparing for the celebrations with friends and family.  My heart has been touched this holiday season and reminded that it is soooooo much better to give than receive.  What made me really think about that idea this year???  If you haven't already heard, there is a group of "Layaway Angels" spreading Christmas cheer across the nation.  Who are these angels and exactly what are they doing? 

If you look closely at the picture, you will see that anonymous individuals are visiting Kmarts and Walmarts around the county and paying off customers layaway accounts.  Many of the people who put their Christmas gifts on layaway are unable to pay the account in time for Christmas.  These "angels" have made it possible for those individuals to celebrate a very Merry Christmas. 

What's even cooler is that these "Layaway Angels" have touch the lives of several families right here in South Texas.  Last Friday at the Walmart in Boerne, several "layaway angels" walked into the store and asked how they could help.  They ended up paying off over $1600 on layaway accounts...even better, all of the items paid were toys.  It warms my heart to know that there are many families in the Boerne area now whose kids will enjoy possibly the best Christmas yet! 

So, as we go into Christmas this weekend, take a minute to be thankful for what you have.  If you know someone in need and you are in a position to help~think about doing it, it may just bring you the most joy!

If you are interested in hearing more about the Layaway Angels in Boerne, here is the link to the broadcast from KSAT 12 news.

If you have any good stories of how you have spread Christmas blessings or if you have been blessed...we would love to hear it!

Merry Christmas to all!
