The day wasn't about Real Estate today. It was about being part of something to give back to the community. It has been planned for only a week for I was in charge of Clean-Up Day at Farley Elementary School in Huntsville, Alabama. My kids' school. The day started off fast and busy. I have 4 children~ages 12, 10, 8 and 5. My youngest just started kindergarten there and my oldest is in Middle School (Junior High for all you old school people like me). We have been a part of this wonderful school since my oldest started Kindergarten. I had to be at the school at 8:30am. I got all our tools, water, etc. and headed out with my daughters (the boys wanted to stay back with Dad-probably to play X-Box). Off we went.   This is a tree we planted for my son's Kindergarten teacher Ms. Jinny Peeler ... 09/11/2010

And yet again Huntsville makes another Top 10 List! The website ranks Huntsville eighth in its "Top 25 Places to Retire," which is based on college towns. According to the article, the "post-work years are a time to improve your golf game, take up a new hobby, or just enjoy a well-deserved break. In these great college towns, you can expand your intellectual horizons, too." Mayor Tommy Battle stated that "Rankings like these really tell us about where we stand as a community," "We have one of the lowest tax rates in the state, a commitment to continued financial stability, an incredibly stable job market and a very strong housing market. When you combine those factors with an incredible quality of life it's easy to see why our is continuously recognized in these kinds of publications." ... 09/09/2010

I truly do get so excited when I have the opportunity to write about a neighborhood that I love and Huntsville’s Blossomwood Neighborhood is just such a neighborhood. I have found that many current homeowners grew up in Blossomwood, only to return to purchase a home of their own, years later.  It's that kind of area...one of lifelong memories.                           If you are a lover of established neighbhorhoods, Blossomwood should be on your list of must see!  Near the Huntsville Historic District, you'll find large trees and gently winding roads.   Blossomwood Neighborhood just radiates that warm feeling of "home". No wonder it is on the must see list of all of our relocation clients, so don’t miss it on your next house hunting trip.                                       View Li... 09/09/2010

Huntsville Alabama / Madison Alabama Creekwood Subdivision 35758...Update  This is an updated blog post from one I did three months ago showing current active, contingent and sold listings in this subdivision close to Cummings Research Park and The Redstone arsenal.

Huntsville, Alabama does it again. This is the place I have called home for 12 1/2 years. I have gone from being the "Yankee" (growing up in Cleveland Heights, Ohio), to just being one of the MANY people who have moved here from all over the County and LOVE it. Most of my friends and people whom I have helped purchase or sell a home were not born here. So why do so many people come to Huntsville to make it their place to call home? Simple~it is an awesome place to live and raise a family. I read on Yahoo today that Huntsville, Alabama is #3 in the Kiplinger's "10 Great Cities For Raising Families" (you can read more here). I have taken just a portion of what was said so you could see the stats they show: "If you're after affordability, Huntsville is worth a look: Home prices are 20% bel... 09/01/2010

August, 2010 The Wall Street Journal names Huntsville Alabama as the nations second best market to invest in real estate !   Investors; Hold on to your checkbook, take a deep breath and slow down! Rather than rubbing hands in glee when articles like this are published, I become concerned for investors who do not understand our local market. As a veteran Huntsville Realtor I have seen first hand the financial, emotional and marital devastation caused by poorly researched real estate purchases. Many investors come to our firm AFTER they have made their purchases and ask that we manage their new properties. We have seen those investors make horrible purchase decisions that cost them thousands of dollars and even their financial solvency. In addition to selling real estate, we are the larg... 08/27/2010
