Currently I'm very busy working with clients buying and selling homes here in Northeastern NC. I have several properties under contract as either a selling agent or a buyer's agent. All of the deals involve either foreclosures or what I call get away properties. I'm working on selling (I hope) 3 foreclosures in the Elizabeth City and Camden areas. These properties range from $189,000-$235,000.

We are also working on several real estate deals in Chowan, Washington, and Tyrrell Counties. All of those properties are being purchased by out of area buyers to be used as weekend retreats. Those properties consists of homes or acreage and are priced from $29,000-$80,000.

At United Country Forbes Realty & Auctions, we are also working on an estate auction to be held on April 24th in Plymouth, NC as well as two first time buyer homes. So as you can see, business is going well and I am keeping very busy. If you need to sell a weekend retreat type of property or acreage ranging from 10-30 acres please give us a call as we have more buyers than we do those type of properties at this time.

I'm sitting in the Sheraton Hotel on Canal Street in New Orleans patiently waiting until it is time to leave to catch my flight home. I've been in New Orleans attending the United Country Real Estate Convention and I've come away with a lot of knowledge and some new friends. I look forward to attending again next year! This convention just affirms my happiness with my decision to purchase a United Country Franchise. I love the culture at United Country! A lot of very friendly down to earth people and our management team is great. We have a very supportive, approachable, and highly qualified home office that supports their affiliates.

For those of you wanting to just visit New Orleans I have a few tips and information concerning my trip. My stay at the Sheraton on Canal Street was great! Very nice hotel rooms, great location, and a friendly staff. The Acme Oyster Bar just off of Bourbon Street was my favorite place to eat in New Orleans. The raw oysters were the freshest and best I've ever eaten! Also you must try the grilled oysters, trust me on this one, they are fantastic. Bourbon Street was quite interesting, but my favorite part of my trip down Bourbon Street last night was enjoying the music of an authentic group of Cajun musicians. I wish I knew the bands name as they deserve major props. Viewing the architecture in the French Quarter was pleasing as well. New Orleans also has one casino, Harrahs, I visited for about 1 hour and played a few hands of blackjack. Lost $70 pretty quickly, but I'm not a gambler and maybe amateurs like me should stay out of the casino. However I did enjoy walking through the casino much more than my poor attempt at actual gambling.

In conclusion I enjoyed my stay in New Orleans and will be coming home with more knowledge to serve clients in Perquimans County and the rest of Northeastern NC. However I cannot wait to get home to Hertford, NC!
