BLUE RIDGE REAL ESTATE

THE BEGINNING …

Having a strong business background prior to getting into Real Estate, I have always been attracted to the idea of making my own brand. One of the toughest decisions any aspiring entrepreneur has to make is the timing of leaving the relative comfort of their current position. Not surprisingly, it took us some time to fully commit to the idea of starting our own firm. Tammy and I spent months listing and analyzing both the positives and the negatives of this major decision.

To start off 2017, we felt 99% committed to the idea of branching out on our own. So, we began exploring leasing options and researching what the final logistics would look like in real time. We almost immediately realized that we were in fact ready to move forward with this new adventure. Everything we looked into, including office space, just felt right to us. What a great feeling!

Another big step in the small business process is naming the company. This proved to be a more in depth process than we initially thought it would be. But what a FUN process!!! In real estate, we found that most regional and local companies took a very similar path in naming their companies. They took their last name and added some type of real estate term to it …. And that’s it. Tammy and I played around with this idea as well. But it just didn’t feel right. We wanted something that spoke to our personal life decisions; but, being the destination retirement community that we are, we also wanted something that people from all over the country would immediately recognize.

An Eastern North Carolina native marries a Marine from the other side of the Rockies ….. And they choose to settle down and start a family in the mountains known as the Blue Ridge Mountains …. Some things, as they say, are just no-brainers!
