Kwee Husett lives and works in Venice, FL....not far from where my mother lives in Port Charlotte. She just hit her 300,000 point mark and for those of us who joined AR about the same time as Kwee understand some of her statements in the post. She is absolutely right about the advice and knowled

Don’t you think your perspective changes warps about the location of certain things when you are in real estate, for example - the locations of cemeteries and parking lots? The oddest things occur to me now and maybe it’s because I’m in the mountains and build-able property is at a premium. Som

Even when we don’t realize it, the posts to our blogs are like a shiny clear window into what’s going on with those of us in real estate during a snapshot of time. My mother and my friends can tell from my blog that this past week has been one of those eight day weeks. You know the kind…a coupl

There really is a certain rythym to teamwork, a real ebb and flow between people dedicated to being in sync with each other to achieve a common goal. While you do have to work towards keeping that rythym, if it doesn't come in some part naturally...it just won't work. The rythym rarely comes

Some areas of the country are lucky enough if they have one or two areas like this beautiful rushing water called Herron Branch. In Jackson County, however, our cup runneth over with luck. We have creeks, branches and rivers every bit as gorgeous as this running along many roads in our county.

There’s something very cool about “subdivisions” in Jackson County, NC. No grids of avenues and streets, no light polluting street lights, no denuded parcels with cookie cutter houses and if you are very lucky… neighboring property just might be cow paradise. It finally stopped raining long eno
