I have lived in Blue Ridge,GA all of my life and I still find people, places, and things that amaze me. It

seems just as I least expect it I see something or somebody that makes my day a better one. The

mountains and creeks here are clean and pure. The downtown is full of shop owners that are willing to

greet you with a smile. It is just the best place to be. Come take the Blue Ridge,Georgia challenge and I

am sure you love it here too.

Today is already started with a surprise! My seven year old had the idea of serving me breakfast in bed for a Father's Day surprise. It was a surprise to find that the main course was a PBJ sandwich served with Doritos amd a Diet Coke. It was the most thought out meal I have had in along time. I know it was made with love. My 16 year daugther will celebrate with me in a few hours, I am sure.

This is sort of a strange blog, I will post anyway. I am looking for pictures of Blue Ridge,GA or the North

Georgia Mountain Area to produce a martketing DVD/Visual Tour. If you have anything that is intresting

or out of the ordinary and would like to have it in this media(which will not be branded and can be

reprodued) please send me a jpeg file. When the project is complete,I will be sure to send a e-file and

DVD. Thanks for your imput.

This is not really a North Georgia Real Estate Report, but I thought it sounded like a good heading. I have

noticed a little more activity her around Blue Ridge,Georgia in the last few weeks. I am getting a lot of

folk looking on one end or the other end of the price range. I have two clients looking to buy now, but

they both have vacation plans to go out of the country, so I am on hold. There are more people looking

at buying distressed homes as well.

I am getting a little tired of watching gas prices go up 2 to 3 times a day at store that haven't received a

new shipment in a week. I know business is business, but in school I learned that unit cost + profit=

sales price. People are taking advantage of other by practicing this policy. I will not buy anything else

other than gas at these predator's store.

Today in Blue Ridge,Georgia the tempature topped 90 for the second day in a row. We are not used to such hot weather, and hope it will not last long. Sales seem to on the rise, and leads are beginning to turn into customers and I am hoping some of them will soon turn into clients.I am sure of one thing and that is have picked up some new friends along the way. I have also picked up some new people to get info and advice on A/R.

When the press is passing on bad news and you are feeling a little blue, just remember that if you have problems cash will fix, your troubles aren;t that bad. I have a friend that has just lost his home,car, and credit and yet his attitude is good. I think I know where is strenght is, and I am trying to look at thing a little differently.

Thank you to my friends,co-workers at RE/MAX Around the Mountains,and my family.

This morning while writing a Blog, I got an e-mail from a prospect in Blue Ridge,Ga. I didn't know other people stayed up as late as I do, but I guess I was wrong. The prospect is wanting to come and visit a couple of homes in North Georgia tomorrow, and I am going to do my best to try to convert them from prospects into clients. I love ti when a plan comes togrther.

Today, Being Friday, I found myself without much to do, so I went and hung out at the office for a while and decided to go away. I found myself at a home on Blue Ridge Lake following up on a bid that I had put in to stain a large waterfront home for a very well known personality. He was a blast to hang out with and I am perrty sure that I landed the job.

I wish I'd had my camera with me tonight. My wife and I went for a drive in Blue Ridge, Georgia and we watched the sunset and saw it like we hae never seen it before. My wife asked me "Why do you like the sunset at the beach so much better than the North Georgia Sunset Better?"and I told her because I am totally removed from work. I guess it not any more beautiful in Florida, but I do not have to deal with anything else while watching it.

In sleepy old Blue Ridge,Georgia, I have had some trouble trying to figure out who is in charge of most deals. It might be the wife or it might be the husband, but today I had parents putting the decision of purchasing a home in the hands of their minor childern. This was really disturbing because my 16 year old daughter changes her clothes 3 time a day. I know kids are smart but do you let them run the show? I think not!
