What Makes Your Area So Special?

I work with alot of relocating buyers. It's one of the big benefits of being a RE/MAX agent. We make our own relocation deals. We can refer clients to the agent of our choice anywhere in the world. Go to RE/MAX.com, find an agent, review their credentials, see their picture, pick up the phone, call them, it's a done deal.

Recently I had two buyers, back to back, one from Washington, the other from Pennsylvania. Relocating buyers are under alot of stress. Usually they make two trips...one to check out the city and get some ideas and then they're back to actually buy a house. Sometimes they are interviewing in more than one city and don't always know which job they will take. So, part of my job is to sell the city to the buyers and give them reasons to move here!

Regardless, most of them have chosen about 40 houses to look at while they are here. Well, that is hard to handle for anyone. It seems that once we get to a Wilderness community, looking at homes seems to take on a different light. Granted, we always look at those houses they have picked out. Funny how good they look on the internet! But just the feeling of a Wilderness community is somehow different than the rest. It's like another world. Where else do you have the elementary and the middle school with state of the art learning facilities within walking distance? Where else will you find the winding trails, the natural beauty, the protected lands as well as the history of the area?
