- 06/09/08 12:44 PM
This is not really a North Georgia Real Estate Report, but I thought it sounded like a good heading. I have noticed a little more activity her around Blue Ridge,Georgia in the last few weeks. I am getting a lot of folk looking on one end or the other end of the price range. I have two clients looking to buy now, but they both have vacation plans to go out of the country, so I am on hold. There are more people looking at buying distressed homes as well. … (2 comments)

In Georgia, The pig is #1 on my list of things to eat, a close second is pork. … (0 comments)

- 05/31/08 12:46 PM
Yesterday one of my clients gave me a great idea. A Wii Bowling League, For those of you who do not know Wii is a video game that is virtual reality. Last night we started with a practice night and we didn't get done until about 1:00am. It was a bunch of fun and we didn't talk about Real Estate even once. I think it is going to last about 10 weeks. We are playing for bragging rights, but I feel it is making us stronger as a company. In this day and time everybody needs to … (0 comments)

- 05/31/08 12:37 PM
In just about everyplace I have ever been, or worked at , had anything to do with it seems that 20 percent of the people do about 80 percent of the work. I am not just talking about my job as a Realtor in Blue Ridge,GA at RE/MAX Around the Mountains, but even at church and other areas of my life.

- 05/31/08 04:37 AM
The last few clients that I have had seem to be really intrested in "going Green", so I have decided it may be time for me to establish myself as a "Green Realtor". I know this sounds a little hokie but it is the trend in the Mountains of North Georgia. I have always tried to take care of what God has given us to enjoy and protect the land in which we live. I am now starting to get the whole idea of conservation of the resources we are also blessed with. I ahvae also decided … (0 comments)
north georgia land: Blue Ridge Ga Realtors
- 05/31/08 04:24 AM
I am very thankful that i live in Blue Ridge, Georgia! I am also very thankful that most all of the Realtors here are in one accord. I feel like North Georgia is an awesome place to be in this business, because of it's natural beauty and friendly people. The entire Real Estate Community has had it rough in Blue Ridge for the past 12 months, but I am noticing more and more interest from potential clients. The inventory is great, the producing agents are still living, and the best offices are still open. I am a … (0 comments)
north georgia land: Million Dollar Club
- 05/24/08 03:48 PM
Over the past few days, I have been doing a lot of thinking about the value of being a life member of the million dollar club or just the million dollar club. I sometimes wonder if the general public really even cares about it or evens understands the numbers. I wonder if they might think we are actually millionaires or even close to iy and it might scare them in the opposite direction. I have been thinking about talking to my broker about maybe changing the term to "Top Producer" or "Masters Level". I just think … (4 comments)

This is not an official report of any kind and there are no facts to back it up,but I am starting to feel better about our market.

If you have ever been deep see fishing you know the feeling of having 100 lines in the water and nobody getting a bite, and all the sudden … (0 comments)

I am always looking for a free and easy way to obtain continuing ed credit, and in Blue Ridge,GA our local Board of Realtors gives a class about once a month.

instructor was a cop who taught women how to protect themselves in a bad situation. Don't get me wrong I am all for looking out for sick-os but this guy was way over the top. … (0 comments)
north georgia land: Real Estate Online/Blue Ridge,Georgia
- 05/24/08 02:21 PM
This week a contract was a first for me! I started and finished a transaction online and have never seen the person,yet. I really do hope that I get to look them eye to eye, but the bank didn't seem to care when they cashed my commission check , today. I think a lot of this type of shopping is due to higher fuel prices and travel expenses. This type of transaction may become more common place, but I still like to walk the dirt with the client. I wonder if writing blog and being a part of Active -Rain has … (0 comments)

Life really goes by fast. I have went through a whole bunch of people who I have considered friends at one time or another.

I watch these people endure the foam factory,go-carts and about 300 screaming childern for 4 hours.

north georgia land: MY WIFE
- 05/11/08 03:18 AM
My wife is really taken for granted in many ways. 1. My 2 children and I forget about what makes her happy most of the time. 2. We forget that she chases kids, gets the groceries, pays the bills, helps me in my real estate and home building business in Blue Ridge ,Georgia. 3. Gives her time away to make the rest of us happy. 4. She takes time to give to her friends, she listens to troubles, cares for them when they are ill, and watches over their children when they are not able or have … (0 comments)
