Pisgah Forest, NC

I want to report on the state of the real estate market...

Last week it was like a switch was turned on. Where are all these buyers coning from? I had to stop and gather myself...this was fantastic!

All kinds of buyers looking at our properties, sellers calling wanting to list...

People all over town noticing our billboards and commenting on them in a positive way. Some of our closest friends are with other brokers offices and they are going under even as we speak. They cannot understand how we are affording these billboards and full page spreads in the magazines...

I think I have figured it all out, but I don't want to get ahead of myself...

It's hard work and perserverance...

It's doing what you say you will do...

It's going the extra mile in a slow market...

It's not giving up, not now, not ever...

It's believing in yourself and your company...

It's prospecting every day...

It's knowing that this market is going to turn...

According to the local paper, The transylvania Times, Renova Partners are still going forward with plans to convert the site for a different use. The current plans may take one year to 15 months to clean up the site. The site is a 'brownfield'. It has many different contaminants that will be removed carefully and in a professional manner supervised by DENR.

As a member of the community, I am very glad that the Renova company is willing to take on the challenge of improving the site. In the future, the community will greatly benefit from the changes and if the development of the property goes as planned, there will be many benefits.

Some of the plans include offering a mixture of residential and commercial property. Stay tuned for more on this story as it unfolds.
