What's going on?

A few weeks ago, we moved our Clinton office into the heart of Olde Towne. From our front porch, we see small town Americabeautiful older homes in one direction and quaint store fronts in the other. Our neighbors on the brick streets include college students, families, small business owners and artists. Theyve welcomed us with gifts of delicious food and warm conversation.

Ours seems to be an idyllic, small town experience, but its not unique. Weve seen it, time and again, in neighborhoods throughout metro Jacksonin Madison, Ridgeland, Brandon, Flowood, Pearl, Terry, Byram, Raymond, Edwards and Bolton. We saw it in last weeks national news, as neighbors reached out to each other in West, TX, and communities around Boston, MA. The values of small town America prevail.

The grand opening of our new office will be a celebration of small town values everywhere. We hope youll join us for Open House Weekend at RE/MAX Alliance, 205 West Leake Street, Clinton, MS.
