Clients, Compatriots, Fans, and Friends,

          Welcome to our second blog entry. The article that I selected talks about the fastet growing Southern cities. Two of the eight cities are located in North Carolina. Raleigh is just two hours away from us in Jacksonville and boasts "the largest research park in the U.S." and was ranked by the Miliken Institute No. 7 due to its "creating and sustaining economic growth." Fourtune 500 companies such as Cisco and IBM certainly add to the luster.

          The third ranked city on the list is Charlotte. Charlotte is 4.5 hours from Jacksonville but boasts a financial center second only to New York! Bank of America and Wells Fargo/Wachovia have their headquarters in this picturesque city which was an important financial center as early as 1799 in our nations history.

           The point of this edition is twofold; real estate is local in nature. Everywhere you go, each market has its own pulse. You have to find a trusted guide to help you find that pulse, tap it, and benefit from it. Secondly, a great deal of what we see and hear is "death, gloom, and doom." Not just in real estate but in life. This article substantiates that not only are good things happening in North Carolina, but in other Southern States as well.
