Fleeting Fall Foliage

Posted in gardening, Iredell County, Mooresville, Photography, Quality of Life, tagged , , , on November 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Recently I drove by one of my favorite trees (what, you don’t have favorite trees?) and had to stop long enough to take a few photos. I was happily coming home after meeting clients to write an offer to buy a house for them, but this tree stopped me in my tracks.  The tree is in [...]

Making Lemonade

I recently spent a pleasant fall afternoon showing homes to a couple from out-of-state who are looking to move now that they are empty nesters.  They said that they are in the market for a home in or near a relatively small community that has easy access to the amenities of a larger city.  They also [...]

Zinnias and Dad

Posted in gardening, Mooresville, Photography, Quality of Life, tagged , , on October 3, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

My Mooresville back yard garden looks really sad now.  The weeds have largely taken over, and all that’s left of the vegetables are some decent looking bell peppers that I’ll pick before frost.  Still, my garden has one feature that keeps my interest.  I always grow a row or two of colorful Zinnias.  There are [...]

Friday Night Football in Mooresville

Posted in Iredell County, Mooresville, Quality of Life, tagged , on September 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

One of the pleasures of the fall season is high school football, especially in Mooresville.  Since Mooresville’s school system is a rare city system, the students and parents are all from within our small community, kind of like when I was growing up in Troutman before school consolidation in Iredell County.  This means that the [...]

One of Mooresville, NC’s largest employer groups is the large concentration of auto and truck racing teams that are based in our area.  They have provided a very good client base for our real estate agents over the years, so we are always concerned when they face difficulties in their industry.  A while back, we started hearing about the [...]

I’ve been working with a young couple who are buying a home in Mooresville due to the husband’s moving here for a new job (thanks, Lowe’s!).  Over several weeks we looked at many houses and finally found one that was a great fit.  It is a foreclosure in a great neighborhood.  Negotiation took about three [...]
