Cary NC Real Estate Blog: Know anyone moving to the Triangle?

To my fellow Active Rain Agents,

I have been a member since last September and have met some of the most innovative, talented and creative agents.  I am proud to be a part of such a great group of people.  If I have an opportunity to send an outbound referral this will be the first group I turn to in  giving back what has been given to me. 

To date, I have had a number of opportunities to work with buyers moving to this area as a result of my association with Active Rain.  This motivates me to continue to put the time and effort into creating meaningful posts along with adding value to the group. 

I know that there are many parts of the country where the market has slowed.  Fortunately my market is not one of them.  Our area continues to receive accolades from the top magazines in the country.  Just last week Oprah named the Triangle the #4 market in the country for Single Women to meet men over 35. Well, I think she's gone a bit overboard here but we sure do like the publicity.  I've even devoted a section on my website called "Ratings".  It's quite a list. I had a client print out the list and it was over four pages!!!  The bottom line-we had over 18,000 new residents last year and over 8,000 new students in the Wake County Public School System alone.  Chances are you may know someone that's moving to the Triangle.

There are a couple of other ratings bestowed upon the area that I'd like to share:

1. America's Hottest Towns: Cary, NC rated the #1 town on the East Coast.

2. Forbes Magazine:  Best City for Jobs 2/2007

3.  News & Observer local article:  4/5/2007 People continuing to move to the Triangle without jobs

4.  Another Forbes Article:  Best Place for Business and Careers

The biggest challenge we hear people voice is the inability to sell their houses back home in their market.  As such, if you have anyone moving to the area,  I welcome the ability to serve your preferred clients with a handsome referral fee.
