Mama Bear and Baby Bear could smell all the wonderful food we had for a Birthday, Housewarming and Celebration of friends, the night before. What they did not know is that the Segway Man, was coming down the driveway, after exploring Deep Creek Lake at 12 miles an hour.

It could of been a real disaster as Mama Bears are very protective of thier young and the Segway can not out run the bear. But thanks to some kids next door that were out and about playing, they yelled, Bears, bears in your garage, just in time for the Segway and owner to turn around in the driveway. With the garage doors closed, the bears moved on and the Segway Man came home!

Our Buyer Resort Seminars are up and running, at Long and Foster, Deep Creek Lake.

They are offered every Thursday through out the Summer at 10:00 A.M.

These were successful last year and I actually closed some buyers. The feed back was that they learned alot about the area and the information helped them make an informed decision. Some topics include Types of Real Estate, The difference between LakeFront, LakeAccess and Split Lake Access Homes, Dock Types, Should you rent? Places to Shop, Eat and Explore.

If I know in advance you are coming to the area and you can not make our Thursday Seminar, I will give you a personal one on one Seminar and Tour. I have several on the schedule so I do need advance notice.
