Knock on Wood We are cautiously optimistic here at C. Ervin about the recent surge in showings, phone calls and emails from potential Buyers looking for homes in Morganton and Burke County.

Our office has had 5 closings in just the last two weeks.

Hopefully the showings and increased level of interest in buying homes and property in Morganton and Burke County will translate into more offers!  ¶ Thursday, May 28, 2009 0 Comments

  Burke REALTORS Take a Stand At our monthly luncheon meeting today, the Burke County Board of REALTORS passed a resolution to the Burke County School Board, Burke County Commissioners, Office of the Governor of the state of North Carolina, and the North Carolina State Board of Education requesting the immediate resignations of school board members Tim Buff, Tracy Norman, Rob Hairfield, and Kim Sain.

The resolution cites serious concerns about our local economy and housing market, not to mention our education system, due to the recent actions of these Burke County School Board members.  ¶ Thursday, May 07, 2009 0 Comments

  It has rained "cats and dogs" today here in Morganton, NC. Outside our office, it rained so hard that when the rain hit the ashpalt it actually started blowing uphill. I had never seen such a sight!

All the trees and grass are very green from the rain that we have already been sent from the heavens. Starla and I both remarked on how beautiful everything is, even though there is not a lot of blooming on the flowers yet. Green is my favorite color, so that might influence my opinion.

We are catching up on the rainfall that has been lacking for the last couple of years. Let's be thankful!
