We are seeing beginnings the flow from Fort McPherson in Ga to Fort Bragg in Fayetteville come to the Pinehurst/ Southern Pines area and enjoying the Christmas season. I recently sold a home to a couple who moved with the Force Command department of the army to the Pinehurst area and they commute to Bragg everyday. One of the features they wanted in their home was enough room to store all their Christmas decoration. The reindeer on top of the fireplace were made by my client and was originally made as a fireplace cover and now they like it better on top of the fireplace. I stopped by to give them a little Christmas present and they surprised me with a special gift for me. This is a glass block that you often find in homes used for bringing light into a room and still maintaining privacy...

Driving through Pinehurst Last night I drove past this home that gets all decked out for Christmas every year. I never paid much attention to how many homes in the Village of Pinehurst get decorated until last year when I went on a carriage ride. I always drive around my own neighborhood to see all the lights, and I need to branch out more. It is so nice to see so many people getting into the spirit of the holiday in Pinehurst and all over. Merry Christmas Everyone!

I just picked my son up from the airport for his Christmas Vacation from school and we are now back in the Pinehurst are and we are ready for the Holiday to begin. I will have his attention for a few days, then his friends will return and he will be off with them for most of his vacation. He has agreed to help me with some techy stuff, and we will see how that goes. It is great to have him back in the Pinehurst area with me, and I will hopefully get to enjoy some time with him. Merry Christmas Everyone!

A bit a go I wrote about a new Restaurant that opened in the Pinehurst area and today I got a call from someone who initially thought I was the restaurant - so people do find us here on AR. (910) 215-9800 Just in case someones finds this blog - here's the number  One made me think of writing about this was a blog post today by a Fayetteville area Realtor Melissa Mckinny and her funny story of how she found out someone had been reading her blogs. Some may say that blogging doesn't work, at least we have confirmation that are blogs are being read, and eventually this Pinehurst area Realtor may have someone reading my happenings and have me in mind for their next real estate professional.

Pinehurst Real Estate Broker Says Goodbye to 2010 - 2011 Bring it On Just had what will probably be my final closing of the year. It is a golf front lot in a gated community near Pinehurst and the lot that had been on the market for about 2 years. He got what he paid for it in 2007, which I think is a great deal especially since it has been so hard to sell lots in this market. So on to the new year. I've been taking webinars and learning about all the new technology and really trying to get a solid social media campaign going. Rain Camp got me started enthusiastically, and now I'm learning so much new and exciting stuff. For example How to get noticed and be relevant on Twiitter Using Facebook pages to get in front of as many people as possible Blogging for SEO and sharing ideas and inf...

Me & My Sidekick (Basil) And Our Kodak Moment Wow, this contest is a really tough one!  Sooooo many pictures, soooooo many 'Kodak Moments'...how do I pick just one?!?!  I spent many hours looking through old photos that I have in albums, shoeboxes, bags, dresser drawers and on my laptop.  After I'd quickly flipped through about 100 photos, I realized that I was missing out on what I was looking at.  This was my LIFE that I was flipping through soooo quickly!  So, I put everything aside...poured myself a glass of wine...got cozy with a blanket in my favorite chair and SLOWED DOWN the pace.  This was my evening ritual for several days and I enjoyed every minute of it!!! I put all the photos that I thought could be the winning Kodak Moment in a file.  Believe me, the file was full!  I coul...

Pinehurst Real Estate Sales for November fairly flat... At least from the looks of this chart. As you can see by the chart the last 3 months looks like we are sitting on a bottom. I contend that it looks very similar to the top which was in my opinion August of 2006. Even though the Pinehurst real estate market of home sales peaked higher in July of 2007, the unit sales of homes had been steadily decreasing since August of the prior year. This is a chart of the gross sales for each month running from Jan. 2006 through November of this year. What has me a bit concerned is that the past 5 months we've seen a decrease in unit sales from the same period last year. What has me encouraged is in the last 3 months we've seen average pricing increase due to finally moving some of the higher end ...

This past Monday Night in Pinehurst the Animal Advocates had an annual Fund Raiser called Top Hat and Tails to benefit rescued dogs and cats. There was food provided by a local restaurant called the lunch box. Very Tasty! Many items were donated for a silent auction. I didn't win my bid for new dog bowls for my girls:( This puppy above was with his sibling. If I wan't already insane for having three dogs, I would have taken those two home in a heart beat. This fund raising event Top Hat and Tails is held every year in Pinehurst to raise money for the Animal Advocates.

The Pinehurst Christmas Tree Lighting was a big success last night. I walked around the crowd to get a clear picture of the tree. I was impressed with all the people came out for the tree lighting. And, not only did crowds come to see the tree lighting, they were also visiting area shops and bringing business to the Village of Pinehurst. If you are in Pinehurst or nearby, you must come see not only the Christmas Tree, but all the other decorations put out by area businesses.

Celebrate ANNIE OAKLEY'S 150th Birthday in PINEHURST, NC this weekend!!! PINEHURST isn't always about golf.  Don't get me wrong, I love to play golf, but there is so much more to learn and enjoy about PINEHURST! I live in a neighborhood here in Pinehurst where the main road leading into the community is named 'GUN CLUB ROAD'.  The neighborhood backs up to the Pinehurst No. 8 Golf Course, formerly the site of the Pinehurst Gun Club, where Annie Oakley gave shooting exhibitions back in the early to mid 1900's.  'Village Acres' is the official name of our neighborhood, but the locals and those who've lived here for decades dub it the 'Gun Club'. In 1916, Annie Oakley and her husband moved here to Pinehurst to manage the Pinehurst Gun Club.  Annie Oakley had made a huge name for herself bei...

Finally, this Pinehurst real estate agent is going on vacation. Turkey day at the beach this year with new friends. This partly due to my dad for staying at my house and watching the pups. THANKS DAD! Excuse the picture quality. This is my phone, I think I need a better phone with a better camera! Anyway, I'm heading to Bald Head Island with my son to say thanks with my son's best friend and his parents. Many things to be thankful for this year, and my dad is one of them. This Pinehurst real estate agent is finally going on vacation.
