I wanted to write a quick post and share some pictures of the snow we recently had at our new homes subdivision, Summerlin Trace, in Leland NC. The snow was unexpected for our area, where we rarely get snow at all. The snow we may occasionally get (once every couple of years), is usually wet slush that doesn’t even cover the ground. This was a solid 5 inches of snow in Leland NC and the ground had been cold enough for the snow to actually hang around!

I sell new homes at our subdivision, but I also am a superintendent, and general caretaker of things at Summerlin Trace, so one of the first order of business on Friday morning was to go over and check out things and see how our new homes fared. My Wife and I had dropped off our children at Grandma’s house the evening before, so we were able to take our time and snap some pictures.

Everything at Summerlin Trace looked fine and in good order, and we did not lose power on any new homes or have any downed trees or anything. The snow was wet and thick and clung to the trees. The yards and signs were covered, as well as the roofs.

I took a couple of minutes and also walked through the 2 acre park that we have provided for residents of our new homes. This was the best part to me, as everything was super quiet and the snow crunched under my feet. I was the first one who had walked through this area, and it felt like I was an explorer finding my way through a new land.

Anyway, to sum it all up, I know that many people who are looking in our area for new homes want nothing to do with snow. I want to EMPHASIZE that this beautiful snow was gone the next day and we were left with soggy ground but no issues. To southerners, snow is like a distant relative that you get to see rarely. You’re excited to see them, excited to catch up on things, and excited to see them go after a brief visit. In that sense, this was a perfect snow.

But I have promises to keep

And miles to go before I sleep

Real estate agency is what is created when someone decides that they want a licensed real estate professional helping them find a home. Any “agency” agreement should be in writing. A real estate professional can work solely for the buyer (a buyer’s agent), solely for the seller (a seller’s agent) or for both parties (a dual agent). Any one of the above is OK, and you can be fairly represented by a buyer’s agent or a dual agent. BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED THE DIFFERENCE BY THE REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL!!
