Here's the story! 316 Collinsworth Drive in Clayton, a great four bedroom home in Riverwood Athletic Club was under contract, we had negotiated the price, my seller was happy, the buyer was happy! We negotiated the repairs,seller was happy, buyer was happy. Called the Buyers agent to make sure there was nothing else we needed to do.....nothing else, just waiting on the bank. Clear to close Tuesday before Thanksgiving...Yeah! On Monday I get a call from the buyers agent saying the VA wants to make sure the gas logs (which have never been used ) have an Oxygen Depletion Sensor.

The nice thing about Clayton North Carolina is when we do get a blast of winter as we have now , it will be gone in a little while, in fact the temperature on Tuesday is supposed to be in the high 60's. Perfect for decorating the tree!    I moved here from Philadelphia about thirteen years ago and they told me I would not need a snow shovel in Clayton.

Only One House Left In Wyndfall Subdivision, Clayton North Carolina! Yes, we closed on 231 Carrie Dr. today, a month of dealing with a well test issue and 114 Kirkland Court closed in September. So now the only home I have left in Wyndfall Subdivision is 261 Wyndfall Lane. All of these homes have something to offer for the new owners. 231 Carrie Dr. had a fenced yard and a work shed. 114 Kirkland Court was in a quiet Cul de Sac.  261 Wyndfall has 1.8 acres of awesome woods, completely private. 261 Wyndfall is listed for the great price of $139,900, it has three bedrooms two baths a huge kitchen with lots of counter and cabinet space. It has two decks one screened and the other has a hot tub (see private 1.8 acres). OK, River Dell Elementary, Archer Lodge Middle and Corinth Holder High a...

On Site at Portofino Equestrian Community in Clayton, Fri, Sat, Sun October 29th, 30th, 31st. BOO! I'll be at the Club House or in Steve Corkers beautiful house at 58 Sicily Drive, a 2600 square foot home with an additional 1100 square feet of partially finished space up stairs. The traffic has increased dramatically from agents as this house gets finished. I Posted the latest pictures of it last week on the MLS and we've already had four showings, just from agents. I love to watch peoples reaction as we head off on the trail ride down into the woods on the gravel path that leads to the river. I had two ladies out yesterday from Cary, North Carolina and they were very impressed not just with the Community but the unbelievable value of Steves house which they said would cost $600,000 in ...

Next up The Belmont, larger lots of three quarters of an acre up to five acres and custom homes starting at about $415,000. The Estate section is called The Saratoga (are you starting to get the horse connection yet?) you can keep your horse on some of those lots. Four Hundred Acres of woods, pasture land, rock outcrops, steep gorges, creeks and a river and only 190 home sites. Some of the many reasons Portofino Equestrian Community is an Audubon Signature Community. W...
