Labor Day is all about celebrating the workforce, and the best way to honor hard work is to take a real break from it. So to celebrate, our team is fully committing to the cause by penciling some cat naps into our schedules this weekend.

A quick heads-up: The office is closed on Monday, September 7th. We will be back on Tuesday, September 8th — recharged, refreshed, and ready to get to work.

We hope you have a long weekend full of good food, good company, and zero emails!

September is home to some truly remarkable moments in history. From breakthroughs in medicine to the furthest reaches of space, these are the kinds of milestones that remind us of what becomes possible when human ingenuity, courage, and determination come together.

Here are three we are celebrating this month:

🫀 September 2, 1952 - At the University of Minnesota, the University of Minnesota surgical team (Drs. F. John Lewis, C. Walton Lillehei, Mansur Taufic, and Richard Varco) performed the first successful open-heart surgery using a technique called hypothermia, often called “code chill” or “code cool,” to temporarily stop the heart's blood flow.

🚀 September 5, 1977 - NASA launched the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which has since become the most distant human-made object ever to travel through space. Onboard is the Golden Record, a carefully assembled message from Earth intended for any extraterrestrial life that may find it.

🏗️ September 30, 1935 - In the middle of the Great Depression, construction on the Hoover Dam commenced, a monumental feat of engineering that was finished two years ahead of schedule.
These moments continue to inspire us to think bigger, reach further, and never underestimate what is possible.

Which of these September milestones resonates with you the most? Drop a comment and let us know!

Summer is one of the busiest times of year for real estate in Southern Oklahoma.

As contracts start coming together, one of the best ways to keep a transaction on track is to get the abstract process started early.

Having the necessary title records in place gives buyers, sellers, agents, lenders, and attorneys more time to review information and address questions before closing day arrives.

Whether you're working on a residential sale, commercial property, or farm and ranch land transaction, preparation can make all the difference.

As summer slowly gives way to fall, we are reminded that change can feel a little easier when we are surrounded by strong friendships. This month, we are sharing a story about five friends whose bond has proven that no matter how much life changes, some connections only grow stronger with time.

Since 1982, John Wardlaw, Mark Rumer-Cleary, Dallas Burney, John Molony, and JD Dickson have been returning to the same cabin on Copco Lake in California to recreate the same photo. The same five friends, the same spot, every five years.

What started as a spontaneous snapshot taken when they were 19 has become a four-decade tradition that neither distance nor time has been able to interrupt. This story serves as a beautiful reminder that strong friendships are built around showing up for one another, year after year, no matter what life brings.

August often brings a natural pause. It marks the stretch just past the halfway point of the year, where we reflect on what’s working and what’s growing. For many business owners, that reflection leads back to one key area: the people who make everything possible.

The most successful businesses are rarely built on systems or strategies alone. They are built on people who feel supported and valued, and are continuously developing. When you invest in your team, your clients, and the relationships that matter most, the results tend to take care of themselves.

As we move through this month and look ahead to what is next, we want to hear from you: What is one way you are investing in your people or your relationships this August? Share it in the comments. We would love to cheer you on!

When was the last abstract run on your property? If you can't remember, it's time for an update.

Abstract updates are typically needed when ownership changes, when a property is subdivided, or before refinancing.

If a previous abstract exists but hasn't been updated in years, recorded documents since then won't show up. That means liens, easements, or other issues could be hiding in plain sight.

Getting an update before closing or listing protects everyone involved. It uncovers details early, so there are no surprises at the closing table.
