Tuscany in Clayton Gets A Huge Turnout for Their Open House Event.

It Might Have Been The Food But I Have Not Seen This Many Realtors at an Open House in Years!

I'm telling you, they were everywhere today at Tuscany in Clayton on Highway 42 East. We were treated to a Rustic Italian Spread catered by Creative Caterers.

Tuscany is a magnificent development just outside Clayton and I'll be writing about the homes later but I was really encouraged by the turn out today a wet dreary day.

There was a tent set up with tables and agents were talking to mortgage brokers, builders, phones were ringing and there were three Sold signs already up.

These are great homes in the $167,000 -$200,000 range

Sometimes the defects found during a Raleigh Home Inspection are not this obvious...
