Big Canoe Real Estate Co-op
I began MountainHomeResales.com in June of 2007. To the best of my knowledge it was and still is the first and only true North Georgia and Big Canoe real estate co-op. The idea was to find 4-5 other agents that were interested in increasing exposure for their listing clients while promoting inter-agency cooperation. Currently, our list of co-op agents includes:
| Karin Elliott | Peter & Margo Vallone | Cathy Helms | Darryl & Marty Anderson | Babs Price |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
Our philosophy is two-fold. One, all of the agents in the co-op want to maximize their listing’s exposure. One of the best (and most expensive) ways to do this is through Internet advertising. Forming a co-op allows us to place our clients’ listings in front of a huge audience with less overhead per individual agent. Secondly, all of the involved agents are more aware of each other’s listings. Moreso, than if we were all acting individually. Being part of the co-op is almost like a full-time Caravan. Caravan is where agents meet twice a month to look at each other’s listings, ostensibly to achieve market awareness with competing brokerages. For both our clients and the agents, it is a win-win scenario.
I would also like to mention that http://www.MountainHomeResales.com has a staggering number of FMLS listings for the Big Canoe real estate market…possibly even more than any other Big Canoe broker, including the developer. So, if you are interested in seeing what the Big Canoe resale market has to offer, your one stop should be http://www.MountainHomeResales.com .

Great Blog Dan! I know clients like agents a lot more when they work well with other agents….kind of like the Kindergarten checklist “Gets along well with others”. I give you an s+!!!
