Kudos to Smith Mountain Lake (from NY Times)
Posted on July 16, 2007 | Filed Under Real Estate News, Smith Mountain Lake Real Estate
There was a good article published in the Great Homes section of the New York Times on 6/22/2007 about Smith Mountain Lake and New Englanders who choose SML as a retirement destination.
The article, titled- In Virginia, a Blue Ridge Retreat That’s ‘a Little Undiscovered’ emphasizes the affordability of Smith Mountain Lake for people used to high prices in large metro areas like New York and New Jersey.
“One day I was at work, and one of my buddies said he bought a place on a lake down here and would I come visit him on a vacation,” Mr. Rada, a retired supervisor for a natural gas company, said of his first trip to Smith Mountain Lake, in 1992. “It wasn’t a year before I bought a house here, too. Who in Jersey could have a house overlooking a lake with a dock for a couple-hundred-thousand dollars?”
I think that’s the primary appeal for the Roanoke Valley and Smith Mountain Lake for retirees from our northern neighbors. A home on the water at Smith Mountain Lake is relatively cheap when compared to comparable accommodations up there.
Mr. Rada has since sold that first house — at a 200 percent profit, he said — and now owns a three-bedroom, three-bath town house he bought for $320,000 two years ago in the Mariners Landing development at Smith Mountain Lake. It has a sunset view of the lake from the back covered porch and a sunrise view, only disturbed by the first hole of the Mariners Landing golf course, from the front covered porch.
“It’s all too relaxing here,” he said. “I meet people all the time who come here for a second home or retirement from New Jersey.”
The article goes on to compare life at Smith Mountain Lake to the retiree rat race in Florida and other areas.
Smith Mountain Lake is a great place to live whether you’re a retiree or not. Are you relocating to Smith Mountain Lake? Contact me for help in finding your Smith Mountain Lake home.

Sold! Foreclosure plus one in Southwest Roanoke
Posted on June 20, 2007 | Filed Under Foreclosed Homes for Sale, Roanoke City Real Estate
SOLD!
My two most recent home sales in southwest Roanoke.
The first house is 609 Elm Avenue SW sold to an investor who plans to refurbish the home to either rent or possibly resale at a later date.
The second home is a foreclosure in southwest Roanoke. This investor picked up a solid deal on this home that, although it needs moderate repairs, will turn him a good profit when he decides to sell it.
Congrats George!

Floyd County farmhouse
Posted on April 3, 2007 | Filed Under Floyd County Real Estate, Foreclosed Homes for Sale
SOLD!
This foreclosed farmhouse in Floyd County was sold to a buyer who relocated to the area from Virginia Beach. He found this real estate website and contacted me about a previous Floyd County home I had for sale. Unfortunately that home was already sold but I was able to find this great deal in Copper Hill.
Originally listed for $129,900, I was able to negotiate with the foreclosing bank on his behalf and secure the property for the unbelievable price of $95,000. This Floyd County farmhouse features 1.56 acres of real estate, a great farmhouse for country living and the peaceful surrounding that is Copper Hill.
Congratulations Jim!
