Josh's Journal

Hello!  Beautiful weather in the north country!  Saturday I ended up showing and writing an offer on our new 40 acre listing on Newberry Road near Nisula, so that made for a great day.  Sunday I took the family down for a snowshoeing adventure on a property that we just purchased down near Jacobsville.  Today I ended up getting a deal together on our 10 acre listing in Tapiola, so congrats to the sellers and buyers on that one.  We’ve had a really nice flurry of activity over the last week, and I think this week will be busy as well.  Have a great day!

Hello!  Last night we met some friends for some bowling at the Mine Shaft, and everybody had a good time, especially the kids.  This morning I went up to Lac La Belle to check out a cottage that I’ll be listing here shortly.  It looks like we’re getting a deal together on our Rockland Street listing, so congrats to Jim and Becky on getting their house sold.  Our secretary left town for spring break, and I’m already finding out how much work she actually does!  This is getting to be a busy office to run.  Have a great weekend!

I had a great time last night at the Michigan Tech basketball games.  The women defeated Saginaw Valley in overtime, while the men also won an exciting game over Grand Valley.  Both teams are traveling down to Ohio this weekend for more playoff contests, so good luck to the Huskies!  Today was another day of working on putting together more upcoming listings.  If you are a buyer, there will be many great properties to choose from hitting the market soon.  Have a great day!

Still negotiating some deals today.  It looks we are getting a deal together on this beautiful home in southern Houghton County, so that is great news.  It seems like we are moving some of the ‘higher end’ homes already this year, so that should be a good sign of things to come yet this year.  Tonight I’m looking forward to watching Michigan Tech basketball in the playoffs tonight here at the SDC in Houghton.  Go Huskies!

Nice sunny day here in the Keweenaw.  We received two different offers today, one on a house in Calumet, and one on a house near Nisula, so hopefully those come together.  This week has been fairly busy with buyer inquiries so far, so people must be getting spring fever.  On a side note, do you know anybody with seasoned firewood for sale?
