Current Business



Right now I have 2 upper end homes listed. Surprisingly enough, they are getting quite a bit of activity. There are definitely a lot of buyers out there looking for these homes. I have one on Snowgoose Road, which is connected to, but not part of, Snowgoose Pond Subdivision. It is the one house I have seen which I really wish I could buy myself! It's absolutely beautiful. It's a ranch, 3011 sq ft, on 5 UNRESTRICTED acres. It has in-floor heat and a very open layout. The kitchen is absolutely gorgeous - I could see entertaining all my friends in this house. It needs some landscaping right now, so the Sellers are going to start working on cleaning up some of the brush and planting some grass. We had an offer on this house, but just when we were supposed to close we learned that the buyers couldn't actually get approved for the loan. Heartbreaking...but that's this business. Just when you know you did a great job and you are about to close on a deal, and, of course, get paid for your work, it falls down the tubes. Frustrating for me, even more for my poor sellers who are still paying for this vacant house.



The second house I have listed is off of Farm Loop in Poplar Grove subdivision. This is a subdivision full of upper end homes on large parcels with incredible views. This home is a 4 bedroom, 2 story on 3 acres. It has a home office that any business person would LOVE. It also has a den which is large enough for a pool table or a large screen t.v. The kitchen, dining area and living are all open, and there is a true formal dining room too. It has a view of Lazy Mountain from the front of house, but it is obstructed by some of the trees. The trees could be removed if someone really wanted to see the mountain. It's listed for $525,000. It's 3,745 sq ft and has a wonderful layout with all bedrooms upstairs. The landscaping on this house has been done, and the front yard is huge and fully grassed which is great for kids to play on. The back yard has a sandy volleyball court which is unique and cool! Also, there is a firepit and a large deck. Great for adults to play too! Very family friendly home.

I also still have two houses in Heart Haven subdivision. These are starter homes, which are about $155,000 each. They are on small lots and were designed for a first time homeowner, or a military person, who doesn't want to have a lot of maintenance. They are just as cute as can be, and the two left are To Be Builts which means the buyer can pick colors of carpet, etc. Right now we only have foundations for those two.

Also, there is a piece of land I have listed in Aspen Ridge Subdivision. It is 1.67 acres, and backs up to 35 acres of forest land owned by the State. There is a view of Wolf Lake from this lot and the only thing between the lake and the land is a bit of that forest land. Nice lot, needs a great house to be built on it. It's listed for $90,000.

Hopefully we'll get an offer on one of these great properties soon!

Wow, you weren't kidding- that was a lot of reading to do in one sitting:) Now you need to get a "personal" blog too, or are you going to just mix them? Welcome to the blogger world!
