Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible dads out there! As we gather to celebrate this special day, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the importance of fathers and the profound impact they have on our lives.

A Brief History of Father’s Day

Did you know Father’s Day has a pretty cool history? The first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington.

This special day came about thanks to the efforts of Sonora Smart Dodd. Inspired by her own father, William Jackson Smart, a Civil War veteran and single parent who raised six children, Sonora felt that fathers deserved a day of recognition just like mothers did.       

She proposed the idea to her local church, and with their support, the first Father’s Day was born. The idea quickly spread, and by 1972, President Richard Nixon signed a proclamation making Father’s Day a national holiday in the United States. Since then, it has been a day to honor and appreciate fathers for their love, sacrifices, and contributions to the family.

~ Willy and Gloria P.

Liz was the listing agent for a Miami property I called on and made an appointment to see . That's how it all started.I wasn't working with any agent and I told Liz I didn't want to commit to anyone. She stated she understood, nevertheless, she was relentless in keeping in touch with me. Finally, in one of her phone calls, Liz asked me if she was working hard to get my business ? I said yes, of course. Then she stated, "Imagine, what I am capable of doing in finding and negotiating for you in a tough and competitive Miami market?". That clinched it !

As a business man, one of the things that impressed me about Liz is is her negotiation skills, patience and cool under pressure. She looks for a win-win even though at times we were just being one sided. Liz reminded us it's a sellers' market with properties selling quickly at or little above asking price in the area we wanted to buy.Whatever we weren't familiar with, Liz simplified it so we felt comfortable and understood the transaction.

"...One of her best qualities is her ability to stand back, listen to your needs, present you all the alternatives and let you make the original decisions. She is not assertive with her opinion but when she says you better listen because it will be in your own best interest..."

Ms Liz Keneally was a angel sent. I was going through personal hardship. And having a hard time not only selling The property but with the result of impending foreclosure. Which at the time was a very difficult time in my life. And she came along. And got a contract within a week. And I have nothing but gratitude towards her and her team. That treated me and my children like family.

Liz has been a wonderful real estate agent for us. She is an excellent communicator, and communicates in a very timely manner.

We have been extremely happy with the work that Liz has done for us. We would highly recommend her for anyone who is seeking to sell or buy property.
