I have a prospect who is looking for a retirement home and she must be close to quality healthcare for her parents who live with her right now.  She is from another state. Eventually, she knows one or both parents will require some type of institutional care.  We bonded pretty quickly because my mother died recently from complications from alzheimers.  I am familiar with most medical facilities in the county so I visited some that I had never seen to take pictures and pick up some literature for her.  As realtors, don't we do some unusual activities?  I was happy to see that even with our current economic state, our county is preparing for the future.  We have been told as baby boomers age, they will place alot of stress on all areas of our society.

Tonight is our call night....(for those of us that want to keep our skill sharp and learn some new skills) I have chosen my list of expired owners that we have sent the renewals out to and have not yet received them back into the office.  It is a nice pleasant way to gently remind them to send the paper work back to me.

Well Hello AR members... I held an Open House in Winding River NC.  The house is located on the Lockwood Folly river and is built so professionally.  They call the style Italian Country.  There is a lot of beautiful tile and hardwood floors through out.  Stylish arched doorways with columns.  WE do not see this standard of building along our coastal area of North Carolina. Problem, there were only 20 or so agents to come out and view this house.  Even with us offering gift cards and gifts and food.  We served chicken salad croissants, wheat and plain rolls with ham, cheese, turkey, and roast beef, Chips,  Chocolate Eclairs. What works for you... I really get discouraged.. Ginger of Winding River 06/24/2009

In every residential neighborhood, homes vary in size and rooms; however they should not be too different from each other.  If one of your important considerations in a home is resale value, don’t buy the biggest home in the neighborhood. When determining your homes market value, the homes nearest yours are the most important, if the majority of the surrounding homes are smaller than yours, it can put a drag on your appreciation rate. Making a decision on home size in a neighborhood is where determining your “wants” and “needs” is important. Buying what you need in a more luxurious community may be more rewarding financially than in a less desirable neighborhood. There are many fine properties in Brunswick County, including Winding River plantation real estate .   07/07/2008
