When you take a new listing, your goal is to sell that home. You market, you show, you hope for an offer to come in. The longer the home is listed, the more you learn about the seller, their hopes and dreams, their fears. If your fortunate, the time comes when an offer comes in and is accepted. What you don't always expect is to become friends with the seller.
Today we closed.
My clients have moved on to an exciting new phase in their lives having become grandparents just this month. Another family is thrilled with their new home and are busy moving in and making plans. It was a pleasure to represent the sellers and I wish them well. But, I will miss my friends.

Have you been considering relocating to Bedford County, Virginia? Located in Central Virginia, Bedford County was established in 1754 and named for the Fourth Duke of Bedford. In 1839, the Town of Liberty (now the City of Bedford) was established. Bedford City is the county seat, but independent of Bedford County. A Board of Supervisors governs the County and employs a County Administrator as chief administrative officer.
The county is located at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains and covers 764 beautiful square miles. Bedford County is bounded by the Blue Ridge Mountains to the west, the James River on the northeast and Smith Mountain Lake on the south. Lynchburg is approximately 20 minutes from Bedford City. We enjoy four seasons and a moderate climate.
Bedford County is home to the National D-Day Memorial, several wineries, the entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway (located on Rte 460 West). Thomas Jefferson’s retreat, Poplar Forest, is located in the community of Forest. Recreation abounds in Bedford County; hiking, boating and fishing are popular activities.
Bedford County is one of the fastest growing in the Commonwealth of Virginia with a population of over 60,000. Industry, commerce and agriculture ensures a strong economic base. Bedford County is part of the Lynchburg Metropolitan Statistical Area. I've included some of the information that would be helpful when moving to Bedford County.

STYX performed at Mariner's Landing, the second act in their Summer Concert Series. We arrived early in the afternoon and decided to get a bite to eat at The Pointe Restaurant. The band was just unloading the bus and we actually said hi to one of the band members on the way in. (I was still an adult at this point). The organizers hold a Pre-Concert Party starting at 4pm. For $15, there are appetizers, cash bar, live music, free fold up chairs and a shuttle back and forth to the concert. We got our pass, listened to the music, ate a little food and watched the boats on beautiful Smith Mountain Lake. Not a bad way to spend a summer afternoon in Virginia.
At six pm, a shuttle arrived to start taking people over to the concert location. Once we got to the location (the field across from the entrance to Mariners Landing) we knew we had made a wise choice; the general admission line was long. We were taken right up to the stage and were able to get DEAD CENTER, FRONT ROW SEATS!!!! I couldn't believe our good fortune. We were six feet from the stage. PAY THE $15.
The opening band is local TK421 out of the Roanoke, Virginia area. They had quite a following and they were excellent. They played for almost an hour and after a short break, STYX came onstage! Oh My Gosh.... Tommy Shaw was right there! RIGHT THERE!!!!
After two hours of screaming like a teenager, I was hoarse but did manage to yell "throw me a pick!" ( I got one) "throw me a photo!" ( I got one). I was smilin' all night!
All good things must come to an end and after the performance we took the little train back up to the shuttle and back to Mariner's Landing. There's still time to take in an awesome concert under the stars: Lonestar August 16 (okay, you missed this one) Grand Funk Railroad August 22 Blake Shelton August 23 TobyMac August 28 Diamond Rio August 29
All concerts start at 7pm, and include special guests. Ticket prices range from $25-35 if purchased in advance. For tickets and information, go to: www.smlconcerts.com, www.tickets.com or call (888) 397-3100
