It is indeed a new year. The world around us has changed in amazing ways. More and more folks are running to the hills from the cities. Our market value has increased drastically. There are fewer PMC homes available for sale than the same time last year. Still the number of potential new neighbors coming to PMC has increased. Kim and I speak to four times the number of buyers as we did last year, this time.
This week we have listed three home and there are only twenty actively available while I type this. We continue to have quite a few in escrow and there appears to be no sign of this slowing currently. With the COVID-19 concerns folks are scheduling well in advance to see the available properties and those that exist do not stay active very long if they are priced correctly. Homes have been selling at list price or darn close to it. Occasionally we get multiple offers over list. This is something we haven't seen since we began selling in 2016. For those looking to sell, the timing could not be better. But simply listing your home is not the correct way to go about it. You truly need a team who works for you to get you the top dollar. That team should have a marketing strategy that supports your end goals. Kim and I are the team that has proven over the past few years to get the job done. We can share some valuable information with our sellers and tailor our presentations to ensure we exceed their expectations. Read our reviews on Zillow or Trulia for more about who we are. Or call us directly at 661-481-4379 and let's chat about your needs. Ware always here for you!

I can see the future conversations we will have regarding the year 2020. With so much loss and emotion pouring from her we have all experienced a time that will not be forgotten in our lifetimes. The events of the year are too numerous to mention all in one single blog, or thought. We simply should sigh a bit and say the year, "2020."
However, equally, I feel that there are far too many reasons to give thanks for what we have been given this last year. Some of these reasons come swiftly to mind. I am thankful for friends and family who have come together during this time to support one another. True that some have not found their way to see eye to eye with us. However, I am optimistic that their personal struggles will eventually weather away. They too will be at our table in the coming years with stories to share. We will definitely be there to listen. Listening has been what we learned. The extra time afforded us to pause for a different point of view has been a blessing. Though we may not agree or falter form our own beliefs we know that we have learned something. Being understood is in itself a blessing, but in no way expected. Being accepted for having a compassionate heart drives us. I am forever thankful for what the lord has allowed us to learn. Through his hand and the struggles of others our faith in mankind is being renewed. The future holds remarkable change and a bounty of experiences together that can only be defined as love. I guess it's really not that difficult to find that folks are coming up in large number, trying to get away from the city and congestion. Our little piece of heaven is exactly what some folks find that they need.
We are so blessed to know that our community is limited to the number of parcels and surrounded by forest. We are not getting any bigger though some vacant land parcels are once again being built on. We will remain the same size overall with just a few more members to become friends. While much of California (and the country) goes in and out of lock-down, so do real estate sales numbers. We feel as if we are nearly all holding our breath at times. However, in our little community, while the total number of available homes is at a near lowest point for this time of year buyers still come up in masses. Home values are increasing and sales are brisk here in PMC. Don;t let them fool you when you hear stories of aged inventory. I expect PMC to get darn close to selling out of available single family residences by the end of the year if the current pace continues. For those looking to sell, this is definitely the time to list. But do so with the right agent. Don't give away the farm just yet. Some agents haven't sold much in the last few years and are willing to share their lack of knowledge as to home values with you being the one paying their bills by selling cheap and quick. Just because your home sold quick doesn't mean they did a good job. It could mean simply that it was listed in an up market for a lower than acceptable price. Please reach out if you wish to discuss your home on the hill and what we feel we could sell it for, NOW. We are happy to help. Anthony 661-481-4379 .A couple months have passed since we first arrived in Ellijay, GA. So much has occurred and yet we feel we are stationary as if holding our breath.
As many of you were aware, our plan was to come here to Georgia and settle our family vacation home & additional family office location. Afterwards we were travelling back to California and our sweet PMC home and great friends. While this will eventually happen we have found that we need more time thanks to the lock-down. Our office not been defined just yet. Instead we have focused on the vacation home and have her 100% ready for us to leave and share and return when needed. Georgia's governor has opened some establishments and we are social distancing and starting to move forward. Both Kim and I have been tested for the COVID-19 and are currently not infected. All of this is good info and makes the future look brighter. Still we have a bit of time before we are heading back to PMC. It is wearing on us as we truly miss our friends and neighbors. I currently plan to return by June 1st, leaving my love here so she may work on local matters. That plan may change of course as it has seemed to do so a few times. In the interim, should you need help with listing and selling your home we have boots on the ground and our team will continue to serve you. You will actually have MORE teammates help than normal to insure that your home sells for the best value possible as swift as possible. Just call me directly to discuss, please. If you are looking for a second home and therefore can wait (and wish to wait) until we return, we would be honored to help at that point. Let's start the process and discuss your needs. Call me at 661- 481-4379. Be safe. Be healthy. Be blessed. Anthony What a beautiful day it is! We have arrived in the Northern Georgia mountains, in the little hallmark town of Ellijay. Figured I'd write a little something to remove rumors about what we are doing here.
Kim's grand-babies live in Chattanooga which is just over the border from where we purchased another family vacation home. This is an excellent place to get together with the entire family when in the area. It is much like our PMC full time home whereas the village is tiny and folks know one another. Kim and I have five children who are now grown and on their own. Three of the five are in process of getting licensed as realtors in Georgia and Tennessee. Our current plan is to set up an office or two over the next couple years where our family can work to help folks find their dream homes here as well. Seems like a perfect opportunity for everyone. Both Kim and I will be returning to California in 2-3 weeks once we have the new home settled. At this moment we are 100% up and running in a completely functional office above the garage, overlooking a wide open forest below. Our PMC clients would be pleased to note that we have "boots on the ground" in PMC when we are away. Our broker and a few other licensed folks are taking care of any items that would need someone present. Thanks to our team, we are looking to make 2020 an even bigger year than last. This year we are already on pace to increase by 18% plus. Our goal s $24,750,000 with 90 sold sides. We are tracking to do that and more thanks to folks like you who take the time to work with us. We truly appreciate y'all. This last year we finished with 78 total sides, making us the top two realtors on the hill again. Zillow and Trulia have once again announced that we are the only two realtors in the 93222 and 93225 zip codes who received their "Best of Zillow" and "Best of Trulia" awards for 2020! That is again because of YOU! The best part of our success story is the fact that we use a large chunk of profits to help folks each year. We have been blessed and therefore feel it our obligation as well as our desire to insure those who are less fortunate have their opportunities enriched. The more folks we help buy or sell homes in PMC and surrounding area means more folks who need a hand up (not a hand out) are taken care of. Thank God for America and the freedoms we have as they allow us the chances we have to provide for others in need. Feel free to reach out as we travel through this next year together! We look forward to being your home on the hill realtors as well as the ones who deserve an A Plus Realty rating in the year to come. With all the pieces of of hearts, faith in mankind and God, we move forward to another year, working together for y'all! Anthony & Kim Ziegler We sit here in between winter and spring being reminded daily that we are not quite there just yet. It's chilly out and the crisp air took over after a week of weather in the 70's. Today it was in the mid 50's.
Outside our bedroom window this morning we heard the first song of spring. Our very first winged visitor came and reminded us that Spring is so close ahead. Valentines Day will come and go and then before we know it the weekends will be crazy busy once again with folks finding their weekend home. We are ready however. We are already working while others are hibernating still. Kim and I just listed two more properties. There are 42 active as of this morning now. We have 25% of them and climbing. There are 15 in escrow and of those we are blessed to say we have nine of them. Today we are holding two open houses and have six appointments. Most of the other agencies appeared to be closed when I drove by. (If you are out and about in the village stop in!) One final sneak peak into the coming year: Kim and I will be surprising folks in a couple months with some incredible news. Please come back to see what is happening in our families lives! We are looking forward to a wonderful year ahead and want you and your family to be apart in celebrating wiht us! Thank y'all! Z's The year has come and gone. It seems like just yesterday we were ringing in 2019 and now it's gone.
If you had the chance to pop into our office this last year you saw how crazy busy we were. We have truly been blessed, meeting so many new friends and neighbors. We completed the year way ahead of our goals and helped 78 families find their little piece of peace here in Pine Mtn Club. Our being blessed meant we had the opportunity to help many others through the holidays. Thank you all for everything that you have allowed us to do. We truly appreciate you. This year ahead we have big plans and hop to share them wiht y'all. There are so few days where we are not reminded how fortunate we are to know of our little heaven on earth. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your lives! Kim & Anthony Weather: Partly cloudy with highs in the 40’s all week with a chance of rain/snow showers next Sunday and Monday.

A light breeze bends trees and tickles the air. You'd know it was fall only by the leaves tossing at your heels. That is all we know.
The fires are SoCal are out there, somewhere. The news spins one after another and we remain here in what feels like a normal, calm day. We are blessed to be here and know folks out there may be looking for a pace to get away. Come on and visit! I've been asked about insurance and the truth of the matter is, insurers are having a hard time anywhere in California recently due to the fire situation. Still, my home here costs me about 20% of what it would if it were a couple hours away. Is it really a larger cost overall if we don't pay much for the rest of what we have? And still, we get that AND the comfort of knowing we wake to silence, considerably less if not any crime, and the knowledge that a better life has been attained. We feel for those who are in need and going thru tough times due to the fires. Things will get better all around; fires will go out, insurance companies will come back, life will go on. We only pray that folks are safe wherever they are. If you are one of the folks needing a safe place, stop by and say hello. We'd love to chat. Anthony & Kim Once again we find ourselves watching the seasons change out our office windows. We are so blessed to be able to call Pine Mtn Club our home (and office). Folks pop in and chat or play backgammon and we joke about the day. About how it cannot get any better.

Go off the hill early and come back after 7pm, just stay home or park your car at your friends who lives close by (with their permission of course) whose road is not being done and walk to your car if you need to get out on those days (I did that and it worked out very well). If you have renters or guests, please make sure they know.

Kim and I will be relaxing on the greens and listening to the music, shaking hands with friends, enjoying the day as we often do. Please stop by and say "hello." Anthony & Kim Summertime and the living is easy. . . at least here on the hill.
We are so blessed to live in such a fantastic location. Yesterday reminded me once again with a short hop into Bakersfield. The temps there broke 102 degrees. The thick air and bumper to bumper traffic, the store was filled with people who seemed angry. We ran home and immediately upon exiting the freeway my pulse declined as I brought the window down to the cool fresh air smashing my cheeks. At home it was a mild 72 degrees when we arrived. There were no sounds. No people around us. Nothing but us and our dog, Bentley. And this folks is exactly how I love it. Why I love it. Come on down and visit soon! Anthony What an incredible month April was. We held our annual client journey to the Tejon Ranch to see the wildflowers. Those who were able to attend took some amazing pictures as always. It is the one single day Kim and I plan well ahead of time and take "off" every year and we share it with our clients. We thank all our other clients for allowing us that time. It truly shows just how amazing the folks moving up here truly are. Thank you all again for giving us that day!
May begins the season that makes us all smile! With Lilac Festival just around the corner Kim and I are very busy preparing. This year we sponsored the event to insure they have a program for all who attend. We have also sponsored the PMC Guitar Society booth. Please stop by the weekend of the 18th and see us and them! ... The number of full timers continues to climb here on the hill which means more families and more children. Events are beginning with concert-on-the-greens on various Saturdays between 4 - 6:30 pm. If you come and join in on the event you'll see a huge rise in the children population; more smiles and games. The weather is near perfect and we wake every day feeling absolutely blessed to be a small part of this amazing community. Thank you all for helping make us who we are. Stop in and say hello, soon!

Out our office window the clouds threaten us with snow. They have no idea that there truly is no threat. We are prepared. Our wood is stacked. Our pantry is filled with food & water. The cars have gas. There is nothing that can take us away from the winter that is about to break. Occasionally the snow bunnies find their way into our office to ask about a hotel room or directions to the hottest sledding locations. They try to find cellular service to no avail. They come and they go and we sit here, happy to know we have nowhere we'd rather be. Thank you all for helping us achieve our goals for the year 2018. We wanted to be the top two agents on the hill. So happy you helped us realize that. Stay tuned for this next year. Exciting things on the horizon. Everyone can be a part of our story. Stop in and say "hello" any time. Anthony & Kim It truly is Christmas time in the Village.
We'd like to give a huge shout out to those folks who helped decorate the Pine Mtn Village Center this year. The volunteers and merchants who took the time to make the buildings in the village festive have gone all out. Come visit the lights at night and enjoy the silence the chill brings. As we draw closer to the big day we are noticing a rise in the number of families visiting. Many are visiting for their first time. Others are showing up to share the day with their local family members. Thank you all for being so thoughtful in regards to slow driving and conscientious participation in the community. Please drop by our office if you are in the village and share a few minutes of your lives with us during this season. We'd love ot say "hello." Anthony & Kim |
