We have a great home for sale on this Corp of Engineers lake. One of the special features of this home is it comes a dock! This is a dock that has a permit. For those who know getting new dock permits on Army Corp of Engineer lakes is difficul!. So in this case it is already in place.

The home is stone and is a ranch. As you can see from the picture above it is in great shape.

 

This is not just a Lake home. The front is welcoming and the sellers have paid close attention to detail and quality.

This is a story that I think all can relate to. The home owner wants to sell the home. The home owner is tight on the appreciation against  what they owe. The home owner decides to use a discount brokerage. The brokerage tells them you can get listed for X. Want a yard sign add 10 dollars. Want a lock box add 25 dollars. And so it goes. The seller lists for X

Enter me the Agent with a buyer. I see the house on the MLS. I call and the seller answers.( This is a positive as it usually does not happen)  Me:" I would like to show your home tomorrow at 10 am OK?" Seller: "Oh I am sorry little Johnny has a Cub Scout outing and we will not be home." Me: "No problem, is the lock box on the front door?" Seller: "HUH? We do not have a lockbox. Can you show the house day after tomorrow?" Me: "Let me get back to you thanks".

No I am not going to show the house. My buyer cannot see it that day. Also the kiss of death is the seller being there. This was a really good home and could have worked for my buyer.  But there are a bunch of other homes that are on the market and will work as well. So once again a seller has lost a sale. At the end of the day the answer is you get what you pay for . Or in this case you do not get what you have not paid for. We are Realtors for a reason. I feel really bad for this person. I have been in this situation 4 times and each time the home has either much later been listed by a Realtor or gone into foreclosure.

I have been away for a while. But now i am back. My time has been consumed in large part with building a new company web site and getting things jump started for 2011.  Our goal is to add to our visibility and relevance in order to help our sellers and buyers.So take a look at www.allmountainrealty.com and let me know what yo think. This is the start. Hope to see many of you at ReTech South later this week

Yesterday around 5  o'clock in the afternoon I was talking to a friend. "Hey," I said, "this snow isn't so bad". I was then told that the real snow was not coming till later last night. So we woke up this morning to this.

The haze you see around the sun is snow coming down. It looks cold and guess what it is cold

So today is a snow day. The high today is only supposed to get into the 20's. Normal high for us this time of year is in the 50's. Whatever happened to global warming ? Actually and ironically this type of weather is a function of global warming. Strong storms whether hot or cold move further South due to global warming. So I guess we have global warming to thank for a winter wonderland and cold weather ! ? Some how that is tough to reconcile. But it is pretty to see.

5180 Deer run ridge is a great new lot listing we have in desirable Big Canoe. the lot is about 2500 feet up and will have good views as it is cleared and built on. it is over 1 acre. For those who know Big Canoe you will be stunned at the price, 35,000. This price is really a reflection of the times so it is a good time to buy in Big Canoe. Even if you are not ready to build yet. Remember the house sits on the land so that is how it starts

You can see the mountains thru the trees which will idicate a great view with the clearing needed to put in a home

 

 

It has never been a better time to buy real estate in Big Canoe. Why? Is it because Big Canoe is "in trouble" ? NO ! Is it because Big Canoe has changed? NO!!! It IS because the market is right to buy. Big Canoe is a great North Georgia Community. Its sales are dependent in part on folks relocating from other areas. Because of the slow down in nationwide , which we all know about, sales have slowed in Big Canoe. As a result inventory is good and prices have come down. So if you are looking for a beautiful mountain community that balances nature and amenities , as well as having a great climate and being close to necessities, now more than ever consider Big Canoe. The folks at All Mountain Realty are in a great position to help you achieve your home owning dreams here in our North Georgia Mountains. Visit us on line at www.allmountainrealty.com or call us at 706-579-1098.

Amicalola falls is the highest falls East of the Mississippi. This first picture is taken from the top of the falls looking down over 750 feet up !

While looking down and seeing this is great to get the full effect of the height of the falls you should really look up.

Standing in the same spot and lloking up this is what you see. This photo gives you a great idea of just how high up you are at the Falls. It is a heck of a walk up !!!!

Ever wopnder what a "Watershen is? The photo above gives you information

Below we have a photo of some of the pretty plants you can see along the walk up , or down from the falls

These are Native Hydrangea growing all along the way . There are many great plants in this great setting as this next photo from the bottom looking up should show

The above picture shows you the water and nature all blended together. There is a lodge at the top of the falls which has great views , rooms and cabins to stay in. Also the Appalachian trail starts at the bottom of the falls. So if you visit North Georgia go to Amicalola falls and walk a bit of the trail. The Park charges 5 dollars for a car to get in and is free on Wed. This is just part of the great beauty of the North Georgia Mountains
