I live in western NC just at the foot of mountains like Grandfather and Mt. Mitchell (highest peak east of the Rockies). It's a wonderful place to live, and a place where I can be going along, thinking how very 2011 I am, when I'm yanked back to my roots by something like this. I remember that this was done by many in my childhood in areas that are now home to million dollar properties - with the same gorgeous God-given views they've always had. Take a trip back with me...                                   Years ago a  grandmother gave the new bride the following recipe:              (This is an exact copy as written and found in an old scrapbook - spelling errors and all!)

In the market I serve in western NC, we have had a tough couple of years - high unemployment, low job prospects due to jobs moving overseas (principally in the furniture and textile industries, but in others as well),  a glut of listings on the market - either to move to another market for a job, or because of limited in-migration. Not a pretty picture. Not one to let the market get me down, and feeling the pressure of lots of wonderful listings and not enough wonderful buyers, I looked into the concept of a reverse offer. When sellers had had one or more successful showings of their home without an offer, I asked them how much they wanted the buyer to come back. The answer was almost always, "More than anything!" (If they weren't this enthusiastic, I knew a reverse offer was probably n... 01/04/2011
