As a realtor and also owning a rental referral company, I feel there has been a hunk of Big Canoe real estate that has been overlooked for the newer sections.

Sploggers Stole My Blog!

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

Last night, I wrote about the importance of having good web exposure if you are involved in the Big Canoe real estate  market (as well as any real estate market).  In that blog article I discussed how it involves work to create content for web sites.  So, this afernoon, I am searching a variety of [...]

The Big Canoe Real Estate Market and Why You Need a Strong Web Presence

Friday, February 15th, 2008

When IBA Mountain Homes first started as a company in the North Georgia community of Big Canoe, there were a couple of major differences between then and now.  Then, the Big Canoe real estate market was booming.  There were buyers for all types of homes - from rustic mountain cabins tucked away in the woods to very [...]

Monday, February 11th, 2008
