Exciting New Community with a Rich History
I
t almost seems like the sounds of the Mortimer Jordan High School marching Blue Devil band can still be heard. The smell of freshly-popped popcorn still lingers in the air! Cheerleaders are cheering and the crowds are roaring! It’s football season in Morris, Alabama and the Jimmie Trotter Stadium is the place to be! Just memories now…only memories.
The almost century-old Mortimer Jordan High School has been relocated to a multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art campus several miles away. The old Jimmie Trotter Stadium, named for the iconic coach and principal has been dismantled. What remains is a legendary field of dreams!
The legacy will continue, though. This is the setting for an exciting new residential community: Trotter Parc. Described as a “boutique community with outdoor gathering spaces, timeless floor plans and amenities,” Trotter Parc offers homes starting in the $180’s.

Why Diamondhead?
I
will be the first person to tell you, prior to my real estate career, I wasn’t ever an advocate for living in Diamondhead. Honestly, I’m a transplant. I grew up in South East Texas and fell in love with Southern Mississippi while traveling for work and moved here. After changing careers and setting up a permanent office in Diamondhead, I’ve fallen in love with this town.
Diamondhead is a community founded around the time Interstate 10 was built through Mississippi. The town has two beautiful golf courses, multiple swimming pools, parks, playgrounds, dedicated green space – everywhere, and has covenants in place to protect your investment. To the naked eye, you’ll miss all that Diamondhead has to offer, but I encourage you to take a tour of our community. You won’t be disappointed.

Showcase Seasonal Features
From the first of autumn through the end of the year, you have endless possibilities for photos and written submissions highlighting the seasonal beauty, events, and changes in your market area. Your Agent Insight pages can showcase all the features that you think draw potential customers to consider purchasing homes in your community. Adding colorful and interesting posts relevant to the season gives your location pages a real depth and shows your clients that you know a lot about what is happening in your town.
The holidays present great visuals and fun additions to your pages. If you have Halloween shots saved on your cell phone, take a few minutes and send them in now. We have received many good ones, including the two shown below sent from Kathleen Freeman, RE/MAX First in Russellville, AR, and Valerie McEvoy, RE/MAX Preferred Properties in Oklahoma City, OK.
Thanksgiving comes next, and while it may be a harder to find the ideal Thanksgiving photo, we have received some good turkey photos over the years. One of the best was sent in by Tabatha Davis, another RE/MAX First agent in Russellville, AR.
Mother Nature provides such a beautiful pageant during the fall months. Take advantage of the changing season to snap photos all around your community. Pictures showing a variety of seasons can be especially helpful to potential clients moving to your area from a different part of the country. There are literally hundreds of gorgeous autumn photos scattered throughout Agent Insight pages. Here is a sampling:
The photos above were submitted by (starting at the upper left and going clockwise): Katrina Roloson, RE/MAX Benchmark Realty Group in New Windsor, NY; Trina Ward, RE/MAX Champion Land Brokers, Poteau, OK; Crystal Gober, RE/MAX Bayshore Properties, Traverse City, MI; and Beth Darby, RE/MAX Tri-State, Muscle Shoals, AL.
As fall gives way to winter and the next holiday season arrives, be sure to take pictures everywhere you go within your market. Christmas parades, decorations on Main Street, and wreaths on the entrance monuments of your favorite subdivisions are all good candidates. Make the most of December and populate your Agent Insight pages with your best photos and written posts. If you need some inspiration for your writing, read Wonderful Christmas Spirit in Milltown by Katty Velez, RE/MAX Dreams, Sayreville, NJ. Hers is a great story and yours will be, too!

Fall Must Do List
T
his time of the year produces some of the most spectacular weather. Dramatic, autumn cloud patterns that are the backdrop to an array of deciduous colors make for the perfect visual picnic. I have also noticed that the insect population is directly proportional to the number of people visiting our area and Fall brings that lower influx of people and pestilence. My wife and I recently hiked the Sturgeon Bay portion of the North Country Trail. What a fun and relaxing time – no bugs, very few people, if any, and the colors, smells and sounds of the wilderness were just the ticket to recharge after a busy week at RE/MAX Lighthouse. So, if you reside in our neck of the woods or would like to experience the outdoors specific to our area: Don’t wait! Come have some fun because Fall soon will be gone and…oh, I see snowflakes as I am typing.
