The holiday season is a joyous time of year that we all look forward to. But it can also be a stressful and potentially dangerous season for your pets.  According to animal experts there are a number of things we can do to insure that Fido and Fluffy have a safe and happy holiday with the rest of the family. Holiday Food - The family is gathered around a table filled with a bounty of great food like turkey or ham, stuffing, buttery rich potatoes, gravy, and more. As tempting as it may be to slip your pet a bite or two of the family feast, don’t do it. These rich fatty foods can lead to Pancreatitis which can cause long term organ damage or death. Of course, never ever give your pet turkey bones. They can easily splinter causing intestinal blockage.  If you have a large pet that is prone...

Transylvania County cradles the 3rd oldest river in the world, the legendary French Broad River.  Here in the mountains of Western North Carolina not far from the town of Rosman, at the confluence of the North and West Forks, the headwaters begin -- and so does the adventure.   The French Broad River was named by white settlers centuries ago because it was one of the two broad rivers in Western North Carolina. The one which flowed into land claimed by France at that time was named the "French Broad River". The French Broad River begins just west of the Eastern Continental Divide, and from there, it flows northeasterly through the Appalachian Mountains. The river follows a general northeasterly direction as it flows through Transylvania, Henderson, and Buncombe counties. In Buncombe Cou...

So you’re ready to take advantage of all that that Western North Carolina has to offer its residents and buy a home here in the Asheville or Brevard area …As a home buyer you’ll need to think about whether you should purchase an existing home or build a new one. How do you decide which is the better choice? You’ll need to consider your budget, your lifestyle and your everyday needs. Building a new home can be exciting, however, starting from scratch on all the decorating needs can be time-consuming and can become overwhelming. Existing home sellers have usually done small updates and neutralized interior design elements prior to putting their home on the market, so although you may want to add your own personal touch to your new home, much of it can be done incrementally. Do you want t...

As we slide quickly into the bottom half of the year, many Western North Carolina home owners have been questioning just what this new 3.8 percent home sales tax that comes as part of healthcare reforms will mean.  The answer: not much.  The fact is that only a few home sellers will be subject to this tax, which takes effect in 2013.  Under the new tax law, only those who meet a minimum income requirement ($200,000 per year for individuals and $250,000 for married couples filing jointly) pay the sales tax.  Further, the tax does not apply to the first $250k on profits from the sale of your personal residence for an individual ($500k for married couples).  So for the average – and even the well above-average – home sale, there is little to worry about.  According to the National Associa...

Would you like to use blogging as an effective tool in getting more business in the Real Estate field.  I used to spend countless hours reading and commenting on blog posts. Don't get me wrong the networking was wonderful and I have made lots of friendships. I learned along the way, however, that spending all day in one spot making making comments or writing for other Realtors is not going to earn you a fantastic income. In fact it is not a productive use of your time at all.  For those of you that do want to generate more business listen closely!!  If you want to truly make an exceptional living selling Real Estate you need to be well versed in SEO and social media. We live in a technology world today. We all know that buyer's and seller's are turning to the internet to find someone t...

Each fall, the Asheville and Western NC area attracts visitors from around the U.S. to take in the colorful landscape this region offers.  Given the 5,000 feet of elevation change within 50 miles of Asheville, the Blue Ridge Mountains offer one of the longest-running leaf color shows in the United States.   Colors begin to change early October at the highest elevation areas in Western North Carolina and work their way down to the lower elevations by the end of October and into the first weeks of November. Both elevation and weather patterns have the biggest factor in Mother Nature's Color Show...an early frost speeds up the leaves turning colors and warmer fall weather allows the leaves to stay on the trees and in full color for an extended period of time. October 4-12:  Highest elevat...

Brevard Brewing Company knows craft lagers. They aren’t a brewery giant mass-producing beer, but a family business located in the heart of Brevard, North Carolina that takes lager seriously. As a matter of fact, it is the only brewery in the WNC that specializes in lager, the most popular style of beer in the world. Their Tap Room is reflective of Brevard's sense of community - the art work on display here is from local artists and is for sale, and on Friday and Saturday nights you can catch live musical performances from local area bands while enjoying a cold one with some old friends or while making a few new ones. The Brevard Brewing Company draws on craft brewers’ contributions over the past several decades, creating bold, hoppy American ales, even while specializing in its signatu...

Todd Branham, a partner in Long Cane Trails LLC, of Brevard, North Carolina has designed and built mountain trails in many locations in the USA as well as in Central America during the 12-year history of the company. But he considers the project to plan, design and build nearly eight miles of trails in the Bracken Mountain Forest this year to be one his most exciting and successful accomplishments. “It was a real challenge right from the beginning,” Branham says. “There was stiff competition for the project and of course we were delighted when our bid was selected. Another source of satisfaction was the strong support from the entire community, including over 85 volunteers who worked with us during the construction.” The new trail is a major linkage between Brevard and the Pisgah Natio...

The hiking trails have helped make a name for the area, attracting visitors not only from nearby areas but also from other parts of the world. In the Brevard area, one of the best hiking trails is the Looking Glass Rock trail. Its trailhead is located on the Davidson River, and it is considered a moderately difficult hike.
