Notice that Wednesday, otherwise also known as "hump day" also came and went in a hurry? Not so big a climb afterall. The lovely slide towards Friday being part of the good about Thursdays every single week, oh my goodness, it will be Thanksgiving before we know it! Every Thursday is an opportunity to … (0 comments)

So, you either had a great weekend and transacted some Real Estate, or you didn't. Either way, Monday is either clean up the paperwork trail from the weekend, or dig around for a paper trail you can start, Either way, Mondays in the RE Industry are always busy, one way or … (8 comments)

Labor Day, Hip Hip Hoorah, Fall, Press on - 08/26/07 11:01 AM
Has the idea that Labor Day Weekend is almost upon us caught anyone else off guard? Shoot, it will be Christmas before we know it!
That last hurrah of summer, regardless that it will remain hot for a couple of months to come, is welcomed by many as  soothing thoughts of BBQ's, swimming, sunning, strolling, and … (12 comments)

TGIF, One ringy dingy...Out of the blue...Absolutely delighted - 08/24/07 04:21 PM
One ringy dingy, two ringy dingy, three ringy dingy...answer, or they are about to dial another number! As Realtors, our lives are completely dependant on communication. Answering the phone is mostly a pleasure as it brings possibilities unless a disgruntled buyer or seller just has to have his/her say. We've all … (6 comments)

Back to school time friends. School buses are learning their new routes, and for those of us who spend the better part of our day behind the wheel, just a reminder that getting to an appointment late is okay! In just the past couple of days, I see people weaving around buses, … (0 comments)

Realtors, Friends, Countrymen/women, Brantly Realty Co. - 08/15/07 04:22 PM
Talk about a couple of unhappy Real Estate bits of business...and the 'school of hard knocks'... that have resulted in a real WIN!
Unfortunately, it fell to me last year, to go after a Realtor in the NC Beach area, who simply changed the commission rate whilst a property I sold to buyers was pending, no notice to anyone, … (3 comments)

Activerain, Mowing the 'Back Forty', Mayberry - 08/10/07 02:22 PM
Having completed my first week of blogging on Activerain, I am happy to report that my ranking in NC, and in Asheville have much improved, points have been gained. BUT much more important, is that I have touched base with several people who might actually proffer some Real Estate business in … (4 comments)

Brevard, Etowah, Seven Falls, Mills River, Holly Springs, Homestead at Mills River - 08/09/07 04:27 PM
When in doubt, or without a buyer in the car, or listing appointment on the days' agenda, driving your 'farm area' can be very fruitful.I meandered two counties, four very "hot" areas between them today, and stopped at acouple of FSBO's along the way. Amazing the amount of information that is out their … (0 comments)

Golfer's Paradise, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, The Cliffs, Dubai - 08/08/07 08:50 AM
Years ago people used to say that you could play Golf at one hundred courses within an hour of the Asheville Airport. I haven't heard the count lately, but I can assure you that the last fifteen to twenty years have seen many a new one appear out of the Blue … (2 comments)

New Horizons, WNC Real Estate, Real Estate Turnaround, Positive Thinking, Expectancy - 08/07/07 02:45 PM
Well the dog days of August are definitely here. Even in the mild weathered, usually cooler Blue Ridge Mountains... But whilst most Floridians are sweltering, and soggy, praying for no hurricanes this year, we here in WNC are frolicking in creeks, hiking trails, and enjoying afternoon summer showers. Makes no sense that in the … (2 comments)

Seller Sitters, Buyer Jitters, Mortgage Blues, Realtors Unite, Focus on closing - 08/07/07 09:23 AM
Whilst Sellers are sitting tight for the most part, let's not forget that lives go on, and some people have to sell no matter the market condition.  Luckily, Buyers lives also move along, and therefore they are out there! Folks who are not affected much by the ups and downs of either … (3 comments)

Mini Farm with Estate potential - Horse Shoe/Mills River, Western North Carolina, A jewel in the Western North Carolina Mountains! - 08/06/07 03:23 PM
I cannot tell you how many times, over many years in the RE Industry, I have heard something like this:
"Well, I want a place with views, and definitely water, a creek would be nice, a few acres where I can garden... Maybe a barn and pasture for horses, somewhere my dogs can roam … (2 comments)

Western North Carolina, Music - 08/06/07 07:20 AM
In their mid fifties,  an early retired couple, great friends, and sometime clients' of mine, are definite music aficionados. Multiple I Pods are programmed with a myriad of seventies and eighty's music. Their banner week locally, included both Chicago , and the B 52's. What a lovely musical walk down memory lane, not to … (2 comments)

Look Homeward Angel - 08/05/07 12:17 PM
 Did you know that Thomas Wolfe's inspirational "Angel" sits in a cemetery in Hendersonville watching over the grave of a woman whose distraught husband, upon her death, bought it from W. O. Wolfe, after it had sat on the porch of the boarding house Tom's mother ran in Asheville for years? He was … (2 comments)
