August 2024- WOW- time sure flies! Thanks as always for the support! Inventory has
remained low, lake front homes in good repair sell very quickly. I could sell all that I list.. hint
hint.. if you want to sell call Mel :-) Caroga Arts put on some nice concerts, the weather has
been pretty nice, did have a lot of rain, and we were spared from several tornadoes!! that
sadly destroyed near by towns. Check my website for my listings, I have 13 pending as of
today. Do hope to get some more listings, I sell property all year- After the leaves fall off the
trees is a great time to look at land- much easier to ‘see’ the topography when not in the
emerald forest. Hope everyone is staying happy and healthy. Again THANK YOU For the
referrals and support!!
