It's been years now since I was in the "courting mode"!  But I do remember that with each subsequent date she and I became closer and more connected.  And whether the outcome was short-term or life-long, the process of building that relationship was well worth the effort! As real estate agents we've always heard that good business is built upon relationships.  And I believe that to be true even in today's volatile market.  Unfortunately, we are all products of today's ...."rush to close the deal paradigm" and sometimes ignore the part that nurtures the relationship.  Because of what is happening in our industry, I believe that we are going to see less people coming into the business, Furthermore, I also believe that many "marginal" agents will fall along the wayside.  The net result wil...

The manufacturer received a $2,500 check from Cargill and was cited for its efforts to involve all of its employees in environmental stewardship. Some of Hickory Chair's current environmental practices include recycling everything from material used in furniture production such as fabric, leather, cotton and wood to everyday office items like aluminum cans, plastic bottles, ink toner and batteries. They also reduced its energy consumption and improved productivity by changing its manufacturing process to better utilize its machines and eliminate non-value added operations. Congratulations ...

I have been using Wyke's Cleaners on 127 in Hickory for over a year now.  I am very excited that they have embraced the eco friendly movement.  They offer GREEN bags (a reusable dry cleaning bag - it switches from duffel bag to haul laundry to suit bag to bring home the garments)  for your dry cleaning instead of the plastic dry cleaner bags. They also allow customers to return the wire hangers to be recylced and reused. Make sure you check out this great local company.
