The past three months have been occupied with my move to Coldwell Banker Lake Oconee Realty. I'm now ready to resume blog listings. The move was occasioned by my sense of needing to reinvigorate and recharge my business. I was very fortunate to have been with a very successful non-franchised broker for 7 years, and my departure was on excellent terms on both sides. My former broker very generously permitted me to move my listings with the sellers' consent...all 14 listings stuck with me.

The normal trajectory in our local market is to begin with a franchised company, then move to an independant as an agent gains experience. Mine was just the reverse. After over seven years of consistent $million-plus performance, the new year will be a challenge, but it seems that activity is beginning to resume. My intent with this blog was to avoid personal references as much as possible, and stick to the Lake Oconee / Lake Sinclair market itself, and after this explanation of the past 3 months, that is what I plan to do.
