Pinehurst NC area home has a contract pending! This little home is in need of some repairs and renovations. This young couple has seen the potential in this home and they have an accepted offer to purchase and if all goes well they will be in their new home by June. This home is in a great location close to Pinehurst and Seven Lakes. It is also close to both the elementary school and the middle school should this couple decided to expand their family some day. Congratulations to this young couple for having a great buyer's agent to assist them in getting the right loan and successfully negotiating the transaction. It has been good working with their agent -and I know the attorney handling the estate this home is in is grateful to have a contract on it. Homes are available in Pinehurst ...

Spring in Pinehurst is such a beautiful sight. Driving around this past few weeks we have seen some beautiful flowering trees reminding us daily that spring is here in Pinehurst. These cherry trees are along one of the major arteries in Pinehurst and it is such a sight to see driving to your destination. It is too bad cherry trees don't last all that long though we are now seeing the dogwood trees in bloom and that should last a bit longer. Stay tuned for more pictures of the dogwoods. Spring is in full bloom here in Pinehurst. Hope you can come and visit soon to see all the beauty this are has to offer!

Don't You Just LOVE Paris In The Springtime   We stayed at the Bellagio Hotel during our last trip to Las Vegas a few years agoand one of the best surprises for mewas the view of the Eiffel Tower from our room!  I had been to Vegas 3 other times in the past, but that was before they had built the Bellagio and Paris hotels.  Sitting in our room at night watching the Bellagio fountains dance with the Eiffel Tower in the background was 'priceless' (well, it was a little pricey!...but worth it)!!! I've never been to Paris, France...but the Eiffel Tower in Vegas is absolutely beautiful at night!   Springtime in Pinehurst, NC is also fabulous!  We don't have the Eiffel Tower, but we have some of the BEST Golf Courses in the Country! Pinehurst Country Club will be hosting both the 2014 Men & W...

MOTIVATIONAL MONDAYSpring Is On Display Throughout My Home   I was out of town this weekend, in the mountains of North Carolina, enjoying the beautiful warm weather that we've been experiencing throughout our wonderful state!   The signs of Spring show up in Pinehurst about a month before the higher elevations of the NC mountain areas.  So, when I arrived back home yesterday afternoon, the colors of Spring on display around my yard took my breath away!  After unpacking the truck, I grabbed my gardening shears, a basket and proceeded to walk around my yard gathering up 'Spring Blooms' to display inside my home.   This morning when we woke up, it was a bit overcast and cloudy outside, but the 'Spring Blooms' inside immediately brought a smile to my face and motivation to my Monday morning...

Recently opened to the public for play in the Pinehurst area is a new golf club called The Dormie Club. Construction of The Dormie Club began towards the end of the last decade just a few miles from the Village of Pinehurst. This club is intended to be a private club with two types of memberships and by invitation only. These memberships are residential and non-residential memberships. Future development which may begin later this year is planned for residential purposes. However, due to the recent economic slow down, The Dormie Club has decided to open up play to the public. For tee times and other information on the club call 910-947-3240. The Dormie Club golf course was designed by Coore And Crenshaw who also just completed the renovation of the famous Pinehurst No. 2 golf course wh...

The past few weeks the flowering trees have been bursting with color in Pinehurst and the Bradford Pears are as beautiful as ever this spring. Today driving to a tennis match at the gated golf community of National in Pinehurst I had to stop and snap a picture of the Bradford Pear trees at the clubhouse. The trees seem to be more beautiful than ever this year and due to the warm weather are blooming earlier than usual. After an unusually cool winter for the Pinehurst area of North Carolina this warm weather and signs of spring are a welcome sign. Driving around you can see these beautiful trees blooming all around along with forsythia bushes, cherry trees and the red bud trees are almost in full bloom. Very soon we will be seeing my favorite sign of spring which is the dogwoods. I will...

SHUTTERBUG SATURDAYSPRING & THE TALL PINES OF PINEHURST   I decided to take a long, long walk with the dogs this afternoon and we ended up at the Village Arboretum.  The Arobretum is just a small section of the Greenway Trail system that winds through the Village of Pinehurst.   The Bradford Pear & Saucer Magnolia trees are showing off their beautiful blooms in the forefront of the tall towering Longleaf Pines... with the Carolina Blue Sky rounding off the background! How beautiful is that?!?!     If you are in the market for your own personal view of the Carolina Blue Sky, give me a call...I'll help you find it!

  Find a home in Pinehurst is currently the top priority for me and several buyers visiting from out of town. The experience and desires are different for everyone. Yesterday we were taking a second look that just spoke to this buyer. We took a picture with the back drop of a huge Bartlett Pear tree on the side of the house in full bloom. When I first met this lady I would not have thought she would like this house. After showing her around a few times I decided to print out this listing and drive her by for a look. She wanted to go in and as it was vacant we didn't need an appointment. She immediately felt a connection to the house and when we went out to look at more Pinehurst area homes she asked to see this one again. Next week a friend is coming to look with her, and this will be o...

Showing homes yesterday in Pinehurst I had to stop and take a photo of this weeping cherry tree along a small stream in CCNC. It was a great day to look at houses and enjoy all the spring colors coming out. My client also enjoyed the spring time on display in Pinehurst as she is investigating to see if she want to make Pinehurst her full time or part time home. I think Pinehurst and CCNC left a very good impression as it is very beautiful this time of year and all year round.
