New Listing Agent

We will be heading over to Zelda around noon on Friday.  We expect to leave Maryland early Thursday evening and drive straight to Gatlinburg.  After a few hours rest, we are loading up Brent's grandmother's duncan phyfe dining room set and bringing to Zelda.  It is a period piece and will make a nice display of the dining room (sorry folks, but it will not be staying at Zelda), especially since we can lower the chandelier over the table.  We also picked up a few other items at the thrift store in Maryland to stage Zelda and will bring those with us.

Brent has notified our former agent about not extending the listing and we will put the new agents information on the blog as soon as we sign the contract.

The Interview Process

We made the trip down from Maryland on a cold and wet Friday morning.  We left around 2:00 am and arrived at Zelda shortly after 9:00am.  We met with three (3) different agents and were excited about the upcoming change.  We will review all the data but expect to make a decision this week.

The house was in great shape and it did not take much to clean.  It was a surprise but there was not much dust throughout the house.  We did turn on the gas and light the fireplaces in the keeping room and dining room.

Chip (the cat) was no where to be found.  We hope that Sarah has convinced him to stay at their house.

Changing of the Guard

The changing of the guard at Zelda will happen on February 15, 2011.  That is when our contract expires with our current representative.  With hardly any communication (none if Brent did not initiate) during the past half year we look forward to the coming Spring.

Looks like we will be heading down from Maryland on Friday, February 4th, to clean and interview potential agents.  We will keep our fingers crossed.

If anyone can recommend a real estate agent in the area, please let us know.
