August Happenings
August 2017
School’s almost back in session so I hope everybody is getting in their last couple days of summer vacation! Hopefully the temperatures start coming down some but it’s been a great summer here in St. George so far. Things keep moving and a lot of the new developments are making good progress. This fall and winter should be exciting. Check out what is new and if you know anybody looking to buy or sell a home, let me know and I can help them get started.
Enjoy!
