Happy Friday!!! We've really been having some interesting weather this Spring, now Summer! Even though we've had afternoon showers quite frequently, our overall weather has been on the mild side. Temps have been wonderful overall, hovering in the mid 80s for the last couple of weeks. Haven't seen hardly any ticks or fleas so far this year either! Plants are lush and green, and our garden is growing quite well! And, the rain has not kept real estate buyers away either. I do love living in these mountains...a little piece of Heaven, if I do say so myself. Have a wonderful and relaxing weekend......

Welcome!

Welcome to my blog!

Just to start out, I'd like to mention that I've been living in the NC mountains for 11 years and love being out of the rat race. I moved here with my husband from northern California where we shared the roads with around 1 million people! We're used to the mountains, but wake up each day to a slower and more relaxed way of life here! No more sitting through lights, and long lines. I love the fact that people here will open a door for you, look you in the eyes, and say "hi." A lot of kind, loving, and helpful people is what you will find here.

And, the price of properties is much less expensive then where we came from! I'd hate to tell you what our house in CA would be worth here (not much), and what our house here would be worth in CA (quite a bit). People are not stacked on top of each other and most properties run around an acre. Of course, you can find properties up to over 100 acres as well. Most of the properties are not in city limits, so you don't have to deal with zoning issues. And, most properties are on clean and great tasting mountain wells! Cost of living is so much less, too!

My website also provides you with several links and resources as well as access to both the local NC and GA MLS sites. The link is www.MtnPropertiesByCarol.com.

Feel free to contact me and/or ask questions as I love to talk about my community. Do know I am also licensed in GA and serve cities such as Blue Ridge, Hiawassee, Blairsville, and Ellijay (and all the others inbetween). I love the career I have chosen and strive to do my very best in all I do!

Enjoy!
