The are many factors that go into our decisions regarding where we live and work. Some of the factors for where we live are cost of living, travel time, distance of travel to relatives or friends, school districts, and convience to the places that we prefer to use in our free time. The factors regarding where we work include salary levels, benifets, travel time, association with friends or other professionals or maybe a company was hiring and you just needed a job.
I live Cherokee County because this is where my significant other and most of her extended family live. I decided that traveling more than an hour each way was consumming too much of my time and was accumilating too many miles on my vehicles. So my choice for living here is convience and being near the people that I care for and spend most of my free time with.
While the office location for Maxsell is convient, the reason that I work at Maxsell Real Estate was not made from a convience stand point. A couple of years ago, I was searching for property within Cherokee County to build a barn on to house the toys that I have collected over the years. I wanted a location close to Woodstock or Canton and the property zoning had to allow for the type of structure that I wanted to build. The required zoning ruled out most residential areas and the commercial areas were too pricy for me. I search through FSBO’s, classifieds, MLS, FMLS and every other resource that I could think of. I spoke with numerous individuals that included both property owners and real estate agents. I drove to see many properties that were drastically different than what I had been lead to belive they would be while discussing the properties in phone conversations. Through this process I found I individual that provided realistic and factual information on every property that he listed. This individual is Dan Thorton and he works with Maxsell Real Estate. When I drove to a property that he had provided detail on it was what he had described it to be. He consistently displayed the qualities in a Real Estate Professional that I wanted to be associated with. So I chose Maxsell Real Estate as a place to work based solely on the integrity of people that are associated with the company and in the ability to make a living doing something that I enjoy.
