Selling Homes In Big Canoe!



I must have one of the best jobs around. Selling homes and property in Big Canoe at the same time, living here. Every day I drive through the community, I take time to soak in the beauty that surrounds me.


It is so easy to take all of this for granted. I try to take time to watch the sunlight filter through the trees in the morning, and stop and feel the cool breeze on my face while I am watering the flowers on our deck. How amazing the variety of birds that make Big Canoe their home. The woodpeckers here can be as large as a small dog! No kidding!


Occasionally, some of our residents have been visited by some inquisitive bear. However, there are people who have lived here for years and have not ever seen a bear.

High Profile Car


It's always nice to have a car magnet that shows off the Real Estate company you are associated with. However, I have one advantage up on other realtors here in the community of Big Canoe. My husband has a beautiful SSR that is bright red with yellow flames going down the side. He is a volunteer firefighter here and whenever we drive around, everyone knows it is us. I just recently had one client who wanted to "make an offer on" Sparky, as we appropriately named our vehicle. That is one sale I won't be negotiating. My husband said "No Thank You"!
