I don't have children, I don't necessarily have any mind-blowing artistic ability of which I can beem with pride over a completed masterpiece; however, I do have Carolina Village.

 

Back in Jan. 09, I met with two gentleman who were at wits end regarding their community. Only three homes (out of 33) had sold in over 2 years.

I could tell instantly they weren't interested in hearing my marketing plan, my strategy, or really anything other than, "I can do this and I can do it quickly."

 

 

 

There was a little voice inside my head (in good company, as some days I have many:) that reminded me of the expense of taking on a development in a challenging economy. That same voice screamed at me and through quite the tantrum when I told them I could sell their development.

The next few weeks my nerves were doing the tango but I refused to let these two men down. I didn't.

 

Thanks to their ability to build a beautiful home, a quality home, a home that otherwise may be difficult to find in the $200,000 price range and their impeccable reputation, my job wasn't really all that impossible.

I am so proud. It is wonderful to watch this community thrive. The residents are happy, the builders are happy, and I am happy.

Only 8 lots left.

Great story of the power of persistence and patience.  Both go hand in hand here.

Cherimie, this is a true testament to your positive nature and professional attitude! I knew when you started posting these beautiful homes that you would do a great job selling them. It really helps when you have good product, doesn't it???

Cherimie, I hope they're building the next community for you to market right now.  It'll be ready for spring.  I remember those floors and I believe one was a perriwinkle color that was awesome.  Great job!

Cherimie.. I find it hard to believe that only 3 lots initially were sold.  These homes look gorgeous.  Then again, it could be your technique on marketing that really did the trick.. You sold me on these.

Great Job.

Cherimie to the rescue!  Congratulations, that is impressive in this market where there has been too much inventory.
