Come to the mountains to tour the many "Back Roads" I really enjoy it when it is Snowing.... IT is fun to take an Old Jeep or an Old Bronco! Big fun to take them off road!
I remember as a Kid my parents use to take us four-wheelin! WOW what good memories!

Also some like to ride Motorcycles.... Lots of Curvy Roads to Ride! I too had a Bike and Enjoyed VERY MUCH to ride!! I had a (Harley-Davidson, Screamin Eagle V-Rod) I love to have the wind in my hair and my thoughts Behind me!! Another thing alot of folks are doing here is.... Enduro Bikes which you can Ride on or off Road!! (Kind of like a dirt bike) Oh yea.... We have a MotorCycle resort in Blairsville which is CopperHead Lodge! Check it out!! The link is here: http://www.copperheadlodge.com/

Always something to do here in the Mtns.... Just like some great TROUT fishing! My family loves to do so! But the only thing they can't stand it when Mama always has the "BEST CATCH OF THE DAY! Ha ha!!

GO to http://www.fs.fed.us/conf/rec/btb_overview.shtml (That website will show you Brasstown Bald Mountain which is the HIGHEST MOUNTAIN in Georgia!) Really Something neat to see!!! It would be amazing to have your house sitting on the VERY TOP!! WOW what a view that would be!!

One thing we all have to push harder in a slow market!! But hey we're use to hard work, right?? It's NOT like a buyer comes to us and says I'll buy the FIRST HOME You show me, right?? Ha HA!! We would all be doing good if it were that easy!!

On a SERIOUS NOTE I wrote 3 contracts last week and closed on another!! SO I know first hand the Market is coming around!! I too have experienced slower than normal market conditions!! I have been in for a little over 3 years and this has been my SLOW start of a new year!! However in February we are starting to get more leads from our "lead traps" and I am starting to get ALOT more showings on my listings!!

It is STILL a BUYER'S market but this is the TIME TO BUY!! So encourage your buyers and educate them on what a GOOD decision they are making in buying in today's EVER changing world of REAL ESTATE!!!

HAPPY SELLING TO YOU ALL!!

One question you can ask your clients or customers from the many different areas they live in.... Are you tired of paying high taxes and high insurance rates?? Here in North Georgia & Western North Carolina we are Blessed to have lower than normal taxes and insurance rates!

You can go to /http://www.qpublic.net/ga/union and you can go to Estimate Taxes and punch in the Price you will pay for the home and it will show you!! Just per say you were paying $200,000 for the home and $1,144.00 Per year!! WOW, huh?

I work referrals and if you or someone you know is wanting to get into an area where the taxes are low then I can help them!! One more thing that is very interesting... Is our Change of Seasons!! We have Winter which we are experiencing now and we also have the Beautiful Spring which brings ALL of our Flowers in Bloom!! Then we have a warm SUMMER which I LOVE! I love to boat & ski on the lake! I also have a 5 year old Son whom LOVES the water TOO! You can rent pontoon or ski boats! We have Lake Nottley, Lake Chatuge & Lake Blue Ridge! Just to name a few local Lakes! Then of course we have a Fall LEAVES which we are VERY KNOWN FOR!! We have many leaf-lookers whom come to our area! We have many different local activities like the "Sorghum Festival".... Old Country Fun with Wonderful People TOO!!

You can go onto www.BlairsvilleChamber.com that will tell you a little info on the area!! I am licensed Realtor in Georgia & North Carolina! I love my job and I love to work referrals!! I look forward to working with each and everyone of you!!

Enjoy God's Beautiful Day everyday... Which is his GIFT to YOU!
