AR Heart & Soul - Grant Schneider Visits CharlotteWhat a treat to be able to visit with our own Grant Schneider yesterday as he and his wife, Phyllis visited the Queen City for a personal wedding.Nina Hollander and I were fortunate to have met them both last year at our AR Meet-up in Boston (during NAR) and it was a real treat catching up with them again.  Grant & Phyllis are from Armonk, NY and also own property in Florida so, we’re hoping to see more of them as we are about half-way between their two homes.

I can only imagine the stress that would bring but, Grant seems to take it all in stride.  Of course, it's always great sharing our experiences with other AR members w...
