I got in contact with this real estate agent at the Rich Company in Washington , North Carolina who is in charge of Farm & Timber Land / Large Acreage sites. He seems knowledgeable and cordial and will show me around some sites but my initial impressions are that the Rich Company is of course an agency, as such, they need to create margins on their sales to sustain themselves. Inevitably, I believe it will prove more cost effective to deal directly with the seller. I am of course open to your suggestions, knowledge from experience, and general thoughts. Let me know what you think!

The Carolina Purchase

Hey Folks! The great search for the Carolina Purchase has begun. I will begin adding to this blog on a weekly basis with updates on my progress and improvements on my thinking. If you are visiting this blog, please take a moment to click on the 'following this blog' button so I can have an idea of who is keeping up with this endeavor as it will serve to inspire me to continue. Also , being down here at the moment , I have come to realize that all of us who have a mutual interest in going forward on this project need to spend some time together here in North Carolina so that you can get a feel for the region and the land. So I am proposing that you perhaps make some mental space for spending a little bit of your August 2009 here in North Carolina. Thanks All and God Bless!
