Preface to “The Asheville Experiment”
Many of you will do what we did…search high and wide, for that retirement home. You’ll be driven by a concern your home state fails to deliver; taxes too high; results too low; weather’s tough; it’s better elsewhere. This book is for all who consider a move (anywhere, actually–even in-state.) As a successful realtor, I…

(Pic is of lovely Database Manager Colleen McGuinn whom I met at a Hawaiian luau….Random meeting in life?

Why do you think so many retirees go elsewhere–especially to Florida? (yeah, it’s rhetorical.) It’s not because they want…
Woah!!!…Exposes Galore in “The Asheville Experiment”
Update? Well, we sold our townhome in Asheville, NC. The decision and move weren’t easy. We’d spent 5 months a year (wintertime) in one of the trendiest retirement towns in America for each of the past 9 years, a place where we’d built a new life. In the end, we left. Why’d we leave that…
