- 06/01/12 05:35 AM
How does my day start living in Big Canoe ? It starts in the morning looking out from my back deck
Being in Real Estate is more than sitting home and looking at the mountains. it involves seeing neighbors as you drive thru Big Canoe
Some neighors are shyer than others even if you do not think so.

Some of the residents enjoy a good time. And why not there is plenty to do at our terraces venue. But at the end … (5 comments)

big canoe homes for sale: Don't delay
- 04/02/12 02:26 AM
There are things that we all delay on. They are different for all of us for sure. For me with my 2 year old PC with all kinds of tech support it is creating a back up. No I did not blow up. But my partner that does our books did have a blow up. And so today I sent him a bunch of files. Right after that I signed up for a back up service.
Since I am now on a back up , well soon any way, I would recommend one of the off site companies. Why, Because if you … (6 comments)

big canoe homes for sale: Why Pictures are important in a listing
- 03/13/12 05:36 AM
NAR and major sites all do studies of how long people look at a listing. The time is in seconds but if you have pictures , and I mean good pictures of your listing and a lot of them folks will linger longer.
Today I had rather an interesting experience. I was showing a home in Big Canoe to some folks. This was their first time in Big Canoe. As we were in the house the wife said, " I have been in this home before ! I recognize this art work" Now I am thinking, they said they had never … (58 comments)

big canoe homes for sale: How's the Market ? A better question is, how are attitudes ?
- 03/05/12 04:40 AM
We all know that markets are local. So one market may be hot while another is not. But I suspect that attitudes of buyers and sellers may be a more universal thing. So I am asking the question and would like your answers on How are attitudes ? Lets first focus on buyers. Here are some thoughts. Is your market hot because of great prices or availability of jobs ?
In my market the attitude of buyers is mixed. Investors are moving in and are very definitely bullish on our market. There are first time buyers trying to get into what … (2 comments)

- 02/28/12 03:13 AM
For a couple of days this weekend we were in the Florida Panhandle. We were visiting son Joe who is in the Navy. He is soon to be shipped out west so we thought it would be a good time to visit. I love the North Georgia mountains and their beauty. However there is something to be said for the gulf as well. The picture below was taken at Fort Barracas. It over looks the gulf. The sail boat in the distance made good speed as it was a windy day. All in all there is a lot of natural beauty … (3 comments)

big canoe homes for sale: Unintended Consequences
- 02/02/12 01:33 AM
In my opinion government is not this evil thing trying to run our lives. However they do stuff that sometimes has unintended consequences for our business.
1 The law was passed about appraisals. Seemed like a good thing. Make the process an arms length transaction so there would be no collusion between banks ,real estate folks, sellers , and appraisers. but there is that pesky unintended consequence. We now have appraisers that do not know the area and under appraise homes. As if we needed this added stone being thrown at our market

Bears
Bears are beautiful things to see. But you really do not want them on your front porch.
