With the window lettering now done, we're ready for our Grand Opening of ALVA International, our new real estate company on Friday, March 27th, here in downtown St Petersburg Florida.
"What does ALVA mean?" is a question we're often asked. ALVA is my maternal grandmother, Alva Swanson Lagerberg, a feisty, entrepreneurial gal. She was born on March 29, 1896, and this is as close as we can come to celebrating her birthday as well (coincidentally, March 27 is also my late father-in-law's birthday).
You're all welcome to come and join us, but PLEASE call or e-mail and rsvp - then we'll give you the time and details.
We've been "moving in" since Christmas week, and we're ready as we'll ever be ... and have certainlay been busy. We've had buyers, sellers and CLOSINGS, and we love our office, our location, and our new company.
ALVA is home to just The SIMMS Team - Sharon, Rob, Tami and Amy. We're happy to help you and/or your clients with your real estate needs in St Petersburg and the whole Tampa Bay Florida area.
How fun Sharon - to name your business after your grandmother! A tribute like no other - thanks for letting us know, I had been wondering! :) Can't wait to see pictures of your celebration.
Debbie - she deserves it.
What a great tribute! You gals are so creative! Wish I could stop by and help you celebrate!

Kristal - we know you'll be there in spirit.
I am a feisty, entrepreneurial gal, but I was born March 28. Congratulations in your new venture! Your downtown presence in St. Pete will be an asset.
Elayne - close enough! And congratulations on your new venture here.
