I have a feeling that this is not going to be the most riveting blog I've ever written, but it is the first blog entry I've written in almost 3 months. Guilty as charged... Naughty me (TLW will have to whip me)! I have been incredibly busy with my real estate business, and as such, I have had no time to write.

For those who haven't heard, the activity in the market is on the rise, at least in this neck of the woods. I had 13 buyers in 1 week just a couple weeks ago, and I am still working on several contracts that are coming in from that week. In the mean time, there is no such thing for me as an "easy" deal. Every single contract I have put together that has worked out, has worked me out, that's fer sure. For every one that worked out, I wrote 5 or 6 that did NOT work out. I love being busy, but it would be nice to have a deal where everything just falls into place at least once in a while. No whining when I have contracts, I know.

With that said, my wife just opened a new business here in Blue Ridge. Well, it's not exactly a new business for us, it's our old business...a dance/yoga studio. It's been open a few weeks and the response has been fantastic. As for me, I oversaw all the build-out for the new space and even teach class a few nights a week to help out and keep in shape, but that has been a whole other task unto itself. I have been feeling pulled apart in every direction, so needless to say, my blog has suffered, and I just wanted to take a moment to start back to writing entries at least a few times a week.

I have been to some great new restaurants that have opened in town, and experienced some great local attractions that I am dying to share with my interested blogging audience, but that will be fodder for the rest of this months entries. In the meantime, the BIG NEWS is that the real estate market is up an running again, and the prices are inspiring buyers everywhere. If you have been thinking of investing in a mountain getaway...NOW IS THE TIME! I may be busy, but I'll always make time to show you around and help you in any way I can. I'm just excited to be back in the swing of things and adjusting to my new pace. This is more like it!
