This is the last part in the series. I hope you all enjoyed it. The last thing we have not covered is choosing a firm to associate with.

Like many other areas you have choices. But if you choose a big name make sure they are established in the mountains. If you are new to mountain real estate this is key. There are not a lot of us up here.So chances are the folks in your firm will know a lot about the counties and areas you want to deal with. In my county for example there are 20,000 people. I know the county exec. and folks that do planning. So if you are starting out location of the firm you are looking to join is more important than national recognition.

After a while you will get the hang of it and will probably be standing here,

or maybe here

or maybe even here

if you are a leaf peeper then maybe you will be standing here

But remember where ever you are in our beautiful North Georgia mountains stop and look at all the beauty. Don't be surprised if some one is looking back at you !
