The American Dream
"For a man's house is his castle; for where shall a man be safe, if not in his house?"
Sir Edward Coke

There is nothing more foundational to the American Dream than owning your home. Over 50 years ago my mother-in-law, Margaret, left Scotland as a young newlywed with her husband, Alasdair to find housing in America. The provision of housing in Scotland was centralized under the government which produced long waiting lists for homes. However, in the late 1950's, in the "land of opportunity" homes were abundant and ownership the providence of sacrifice and hard-work.

It was Thomas Jefferson who believed to own land and make it productive was the right of every American. The greatest expression of personal freedom and self-determination is to own your own property, something no one can take from you. In spite of recent challenges in the real estate market, for many, the American Dream still means owning a home. With low interest rates and lower prices there's never been a better time to own a home. How about you? What does the American Dream mean to you?

There still is no place like home. Let me help you find yours!
