As Real Estate Agents The Derosia Team likes statistics.  In particular, we like to compare the market from year to year.  We would like to share some comparisons for 2006-2011 to show you how the market has changed. We focused on each individual area of Sevier County and the Volume Sold per area.  Here are a couple visual aids to show the change in the Smoky Mountains.

Well, it has been a while since we have blogged. We are not a great bloggers and we break all the rules about consistency and content. Our goal is too get better at both of these issues. To start this first blog back we will make it personal. We have been blessed 6 weeks ago to welcome a new grandchild into the family. Makenzie Belle is Phillip and Kim's first child and she is such a doll. She is not spoiled at all! Ha! Ha! She joins our 2 other grandchildren Kayla 9 and Hannah 5. Aren't grandchildren great? You can love them, play with them, feed them junk, spoil them and then at the end of the day when they are tired, they go back to their parents! The old adage "If I had known how fun grandkids would have been I would have had them first." We look forward to the rest of the year with our family and friends.  Please continue to follow us as we try to reach are goals of becoming better bloggers.  We look forward to bringing you updates on the Smoky Mountain Rea
