From Apple Pies To Housing Trends: Gratitude, Community, And What’s Next For Real Estate
Gratitude isn’t soft—it’s brave. On a Thanksgiving broadcast from Hendersonville, we mix tradition and heart: sharing how our team gives away hundreds of apple and pumpkin pies to clients, then zooming out to what gratitude really asks of us when life is uncertain. We also deliver a clear-eyed snapshot of the local real estate market: more homes sold year-over-year, slight price dips held in check by low inventory, days on market up modestly, and a steady share of cash buyers as rates hover in the low sixes after a brief dip into the fives.
From there, we go deeper. Drawing on Brene Brown’s insights, we explore why joy is the most vulnerable emotion and how the armor we wear—cynicism, perfectionism, busyness—protects us from pain but also from meaning. Gratitude isn’t denial or forced positivity; it’s the courage to stay present, feel what’s real, and let moments matter even without guarantees. A vivid detour through Vincent van Gogh’s life shows how his letters gave his paintings their soul—sunflowers as hope and loss, Starry Night as a search for order during inner turmoil—reminding us that honest stories transform data into direction.
Community ties it all together. We spotlight neighbors helping neighbors in Bat Cave and the Broad River Gorge after Helene, where volunteers continue the hard work of rebuilding and families often point help to the house next door. That spirit guides how we serve Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina: providing experienced guidance, thoughtful market context, and support for big decisions about selling, buying, or rightsizing. Independence isn’t behind you; it’s the next step taken with clarity and heart.

Grateful life is just so much to be grateful for, and we're grateful to be here. And uh we're gonna briefly talk about real estate and and before we do, and then but then we'll just I'm gonna have a conversation about gratitude today. I think it's very appropriate.
SPEAKER_01:I do too. I do too.
SPEAKER_00:And you and I, again, every Friday morning we do our hometown hero series, which certainly puts things in the perspective. And then, you know, I've been doing actually this Thursday morning radio show uh since 2011, uh, every Thursday and Thursday always Thanksgiving falls on Thursday. So I'm like, let's let's go. Let's I mean, we keep the let's keep the routine, keep the you know, the show going. And so we even on Thanksgiving, we've been doing this uh this radio program.
SPEAKER_01:And I I always I've gotten to look forward to it myself, Noah. Uh uh one of the reasons, and I is a selfish reason, uh, I must say, is he always brings I come bearing gifts. He comes bearing a big old apple pie. And and that is always something I've uh come to look forward to every year. But you this is something that you at the George Real Estate Group do for your customers, right?
SPEAKER_00:That's right. It's just a day of uh gratitude. We we do it the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and and and just we send it out. I mean, you might be surprised. We send it out to almost 2,000 of our clients. Uh we invite them, and if they're in town and you know, and if they want to come by the office and and if they want to reserve a pumpkin or apple pie, and you know, we give away uh hundreds of pies, uh and it's so fun. And uh our team uh pulled it off and and just it's it's amazing to connect with our clients and just check in, and it's just a small token of our appreciation uh and being able to you know see our clients and thank them and and it's just a wonderful day.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I think that uh you know when you talk about doing a show on Thanksgiving and and uh talking about gratitude, we we really need to preface the whole show with the fact that you show your gratitude to the customers every year by doing this. And you've done this for years.
SPEAKER_00:We've done that for a number of years, and we wouldn't be what we are without our our customers, of course, and our our community. And we love serving our community, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to to walk alongside with our clients, you know, through whatever life may throw at them. And real estate's such a critical piece of all of our lives, and we tend to, you know, real estate happens when it could be a really positive reason or it could be a challenging reason, but we are so thankful for our clients and and it's a small token of our appreciation. So it's such a it's an amazing day. We do it every year, and it's a lot of fun. Well, I I've gotten wrapped up in it too. So uh Well well, we're thankful for you. Uh and it's been and it's uh just grateful to to be here on the radio, and and you're you're here on on Thanksgiving Day uh every year, and so it's it's a it's a been a fun tradition uh for you and I.
SPEAKER_01:It really has, it really has. And uh we have uh been talking about uh the market and looking ahead to the holidays and to next year in in real estate. You're always uh on top of things as far as trends go, and I know that you've already been looking ahead to 2026.
SPEAKER_00:Well, absolutely, and the market it's interesting, even with our community uh you know coming off of Helene last year and the uncertainty and everything going on, it's interesting. There's been more homes actually sold in the last 12 months versus the previous 12 months. The market is remaining steady. Uh so the prices have come down a little bit, very nominal, uh, just a couple percent. And that's because of the low inventory levels, slightly elevated. And even with the interest rates, at one point, you know, earlier uh in the last few months, interest rates actually jumped down into the the fives ever so briefly, but even in the low sixes, it's it's still moving. The number of people that are paying with cash is still a strong segment of our market, and the market's still moving. Days on the markets increased slightly. The market is still moving, the market's very healthy here. It's it's it's uh evolved, it's changing, and and got to be careful about what all the headlines say. We we're actually on track to help even more people than we did last year, our team, and helping more people with their real estate needs. And so if you're if you're tuning in for the first time ever, the George Real Estate Group, we're located in Flat Rock. We serve all of Western North Carolina and the upstate South Carolina.

We're here every Thursday morning at 10 a.m. And then we're here every Friday morning at 8.45 for the Hometown Heroes series.
SPEAKER_01:And uh coming up for uh Well, I I need to I guess we'll do a little house cleaning uh on the air live here with you. Uh coming up, I think it's on Christmas Day, uh, we will be doing our top 10 countdowns of Hometown Heroes.
SPEAKER_00:It is such a uh you and I that's one of the other fun uh shows we do. And I uh I if we're talking live right now about we we talked about maybe even extending it, making that show a little bit longer. We need to give a little bit more time there to cover that.
SPEAKER_01:So we'll we'll take that up to 30 minutes on Christmas Day, and then we'll repeat it on the day after Christmas on that Friday morning when we normally do our hometown hero. So a couple of chances for you to hear the top ten highest downloads of our hometown hero series, and uh I'm beginning to work on that show now.
SPEAKER_00:It is it is that's a fun show every year where we recap some of the most I mean, they're all amazing stories, and and and that's really the the way we uh have been able to categorize the you know, we when we pick the top ten, it's you know, there are it's it's based on the the downloads, yeah. But again, all the stories are amazing. Uh tomorrow morning, by the way, is uh real Appalachian storyteller, Virginia King Thompson, who's been telling stories in schools and as a speaker at various functions here in Henderson County for now 60 years. I mean, incredible. And so she's known as Black Feather. And so tomorrow maybe we might get a story out of her. Uh, but tomorrow morning we're gonna salute as our hometown hero, Virginia King Thompson.
SPEAKER_01:Looking forward to that. I I chatted with Virginia uh earlier in the week, and and uh I'll give you a heads up, Noah. She she told me on the phone, she says, I do not need a rocking chair to tell my stories. I'm very animated. Well, I'm sure she doesn't need much prompting, right? I mean, like give her give her a mic. So so I'm giving you a heads up. Hold on for tomorrow. I don't know what to expect, to be honest with you.
SPEAKER_00:So grateful for her uh joining us tomorrow. That's gonna be amazing. Yeah, it is. And again, all of our uh we have amazing stories and and the opportunity that we you and I get to to share what's going on. You know, the community, and this is what makes our community is the people and the the people that uh are here and people have joined our community and and and and whether it's our community radio like you know, WHKP or our community real estate company, I mean it's it's about serving the community.
SPEAKER_01:Simple. It's not a it's not a real uh complicated business plan, is it?
SPEAKER_00:No, it it's uh it's it's simple. It's it's what they say, it's it's simple, not easy.
SPEAKER_01:There you go. There you go.
SPEAKER_00:So I thought and I put some thoughts together. Again, I it's always perspective, right? And with Thanksgiving, you know, and I I love I I am a big reader and I love reading and I love uh you know you know hearing stories and I love you know just learning. I love learning. And I don't have you heard of Benet Brown? Yes, uh the name is familiar, but I can't recall why why. Phenomenal, phenomenal author and speaker, and she's written a number of books, one called Daring Greatly, and she also has a TED talk on vulnerability, but phenomenal speaker, but you know, she also has an incredible perspective on gratitude. And and I, you know, and a lot of times we think of gratitude as you know something light, may maybe even decorative, but you know, we might list when uh make a list when things are going well. You know, it's a it's a practice, you know, a habit we practice when life feels manageable. It you know, it could be a mindset we use to stay positive, but Benet Brown's work shows something much deeper and much more honest. And and gratitude isn't easy, gratitude, she says, is actually is brave, you know, because real gratitude doesn't live on the surface of life, it lives where things are uncertain, fragile, and unfinished. And so Brene recently said, is vulnerability important? It is if we want to be brave with our lives. And so gratitude requires vulnerability and it asks us to be present, you know, without guarantees. I mean, it's a it's a lot, it's it's amazing.
SPEAKER_01:That's the that's the definition of vulnerability is to be available without a fear.
SPEAKER_00:That's right. And and so joy this is also amazing. This is so interesting. She also teaches that joy, and this is why joy and gratitude feel so risky, but joy is the most vulnerable human emotion we experience. More vulnerable than fear, more vulnerable than anger, more vulnerable than grief, and that surprises people because we assume fear is the riskiest emotion, but you know what? Joy actually opens us up completely. And so when we allow ourselves to feel gratitude, we're also admitting you know that something matters, and so when something matters, it can be lost, and that's when we say this moment is good, and we're also quietly admitting the moment may not last, which is so interesting. And so Benet puts it this way the joy is so vulnerable that people choose to live actually, this is so interesting. People choose to live disappointed rather than to get excited about something and risk right, risk getting sucker punched by disappointment. Isn't that such an interesting paradigm?
SPEAKER_01:Oh, it's uh it's you're getting right to the core of uh of life here and and the think the thinking that uh I won't go through this with many expectations because I won't, and then I won't be disappointed.
SPEAKER_00:Right. Because if I yes, but the the thing about that though, you know, disappointment actually feels safer. Yeah. If we don't lean in all the way, if we manage expectations, if we keep some emotional distance, then maybe we won't get caught off guard by the pain. But here's the cost the armor protects us from the pain, but it actually from life itself. And so when Benet talks about armor, you know, we use you know, strategies we reach for when self-protection is the goal. But you know, guess what? Armor could be critic, you know, cynicism, it could be perfectionism, you know, for control, it could be numbing that's co that's used for coping or staying busy so we don't have to feel but armor develops for a reason and it's used for survival. There's moments, I mean, we use things that survive for different hard seasons. But the thing is, Bene reminds us that the hardest work is actually recognizing when our armor no longer protects us, it actually isolates us. That's right. Yeah, and so gratitude begins where armor loosens, not dramatically, not all at once, and gratitude simply says, I will feel this moment, I'll stay present, and I'll actually risk engagement. And so it's not optimism, it's courage because being present is being you know vulnerable. So it's just it's just a powerful moment. But here's this interesting thing about you know, there's this interesting myth about gratitude that it actually requires happiness. You that you need closure, that things need to be resolved, that life needs to be feel feel stable, but R Bene actually rejects that entirely, and she actually teaches a both and thinking. You can actually be great gratitude, you can actually be grateful and grieving, you can actually be appreciative and exhausted, and you can be thankful and afraid. I mean, talk about like how appropriate this is on Thanksgiving, but gratitude doesn't cancel the pain, and pain doesn't invalidate the gratitude, and gratitude, most importantly, you're not in denial, you're not in denial, it's actually an integration. So it actually allows you know pain and grief to exist without and it's it's not allowing the pain to become the entire story. So gratitude does not say this shouldn't hurt. Gratitude actually says this hurts, and there's still something here worth you know staying present for.
SPEAKER_01:This hurts, but I'm glad it doesn't hurt more.
SPEAKER_00:Right. And you can acknowledge, guess what? Life's not easy. Life's it's it's you know, this is just being real here. So, anyways, it's it's again, this is where you know what being present, being gratitude is just acknowledging the the presence and and putting down the armor and and um enjoying the moment. And so it's and again, it's and this is why, by the way, you know, our culture, we have a larger cultural issue of of disconnection, but you know, we move fast, you know, we're scrolling, you know, we you numb out easily, you know. It's and so know what gratitude actually requires is is to slow down and pay attention and pay attention. You know, it and guess what? And this is why most people don't want to slow down is because they have to feel. And if you because if you slow down you have to be present with your feelings. Yeah. And so Brene actually says we cannot selectively numb emotion. And so when we numb pain, we actually numb out joy. You know, so your level of joy that you can experience is actually to the level of of grief that you can experience. And so gratitude isn't something we add once we feel better. It's actually what returns when we stop numbing and start noticing again. And it's an invitation actually to the full spectrum of being human. And again, I thought on this Thanksgiving day. So you know, it's not about um, you know, it's about wholehearted living and and people who live meaningful lives do not experience less pain. They uh they aren't spared heartbreak, they aren't spared, they aren't insulated from loss, and no one's insulated from loss, and they're not protected from uncertainty. And so here's the thing about gratitude, what they do people that live wholeheart have wholehearted living is they have a practice of gratitude, not as a mood, not as a forced positivity, and not even as a checklist, but it's this commitment to actually stay awake in your life, and be open to uh receiving great things that you can be thankful for and grateful for. Yeah, and so this is where it's again being present, being open to feeling, and you and you choose we choose engagement over armor, which again that choice takes courage. And she says there's no courage without vulnerability. And and so gratitude doesn't does not mean saying thank you for everything that happens, it actually is saying, daring to say this matters, this is precious, this moment counts. I mean, if if you're sitting around the table with your family that's still with you, I mean that moment you know counts.
SPEAKER_01:Yes, it does.
SPEAKER_00:And so even when it's fragile, even when it hurts, and especially, and this is I think this illusion of control we all have, but even when especially when there's no guarantees, which none of us have anyways, and and so gratitude's not about being happy, it's about being wholehearted, and wholehearted living is not passive, and you know, it's an it's an act of courage. I I've really have loved listening and reading Benaze Brown work on this subject of gratitude, and I just thought it'd be appropriate to talk about. So it's again the the thing is about gratitude, it's not denying the pain, but it's choosing to stay present in a life that that still matters. It isn't is anyway. So again, gr it's it's so fascinating to me. Um, again, all this like in uh you know, when you go through hard things, and I know you have, and I know I have, and it's you know, it's just again being present, being and putting perspective on things, and and again, the and how gratitude um uh can impact our lives.
SPEAKER_01:It is uh and uh you're right, everybody goes through situations, family members uh get ill and uh uh they pass on, and and uh there's uh a temptation and and it's easy to put up the armor and say, I know what's coming, and uh put up the armor and and just don't get involved and just pass the time. And it there's a temptation to do that.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, it's easy, all of us are it's a lot easier, yeah. It is easier, but it doesn't really I mean it might serve you for a moment, but it it will catch up to you.
SPEAKER_01:It will, it will.
SPEAKER_00:Um this is a little bit of a tie-in, but in a second story that I I was so fascinated. Uh there's and there's a little bit this is more maybe about more about being vulnerable than it is necessarily about, you know, it but yeah, this is so interesting about gratitude and vulner vulnerability, but um I didn't know this story. This is a bit of a history lesson. Um everybody and everybody now, and you're I uh Vincent Van Gogh.
SPEAKER_01:Okay, yeah.
SPEAKER_00:Do you I was so amazed when I had really dug into his story, and I don't think at any point d during his own life had any of his paintings even no nothing really ever sold.
SPEAKER_01:Right. It happened after he died.
SPEAKER_00:Well it happened after it died, but do you know why it happened after he died?
SPEAKER_01:Was uh Vincent Van Gogh a victim of depression?
SPEAKER_00:Well, he he did have some some challenges with that. Okay, but this is so interesting. I mean, of course, people know the starry night. Right. I've actually seen that uh in person. Uh you have the the sunflowers, you have the bedroom uh painting, and again, it's this is so interesting. And this is I'm gonna the reason I'm bringing this up, it's about sharing vulnerability about you know what you're going through and what you know, but this is so interesting. During his lifetimes, his paintings actually had I mean they had almost no value. He actually he virtually sold nothing, he lived in poverty, he relied financially on his brother Theo, and later on Theo's wife, Johanna, uh and and his sister-in-law, and and yet he still painted, not because the world understood him, not because the work was celebrated, but this is how his painting was how he you know stayed connected to his to his life. But this is so interesting. His paintings would mean nothing, and we wouldn't understand Vingo without his letters. He actually wrote and cre all he wrote hundreds of letters to his brother Theo and his and his later to his sister-in-law Johanna, just these honest letters of his struggles and his reality and his vulnerable, like how all the things he was going through, they weren't polished, they weren't intended for public, you know, for the audience. And I mean, he wrote about his isolation, he wrote about his mental illness, he wrote about his spiritual hunger, his fear, he wrote about his hope, and so he wrote just wrote about it, but it guess what? Without the letters, the paintings are just images, and so the images are amazing, but they're incomplete without the bigger picture. And guess what? So his sister-in-law ended up publishing a book of his letters, and it was the letters that caused his paintings to explode because guess what the paintings were actually, for example, the sunflowers were not just this still life painting, it was actually painted during the season of hope and grief. It was he was preparing for uh a home for his friend uh to come visit with him and he imagined collaborating, he imagined his friendship, he la imagined all this stuff, but the sunflowers were actually meant meant to welcome his friend, but his friend didn't stay. The friendship collapsed, Vincent spiraled, the season ended up being this deep emotional pain. So, what we now see is this bright, joyful painting of uh sunflowers were actually uh more about his longing and loss with that. But again, if we didn't have the letters, we wouldn't know that. Again, without his vulnerability, we we may have mistaken grief for decoration. One other story is the starry night. Perhaps his most famous work, it wasn't painted in freedom, he actually painted it while he was confined in a mental hospital. And so the view of the sky came from his window, and it wasn't painting a peaceful night, he was painting it inside depression, anxiety, mental illness, and the swirling stars, the the restless movements, the contrast between the chaos and calm. And so this wasn't a fantasy of beauty, it was actually a man reaching for meaning while imprisoned in his own mind. Again, without the letters, we didn't we wouldn't have known any of this. Again, so the vulnerability that again during his life, you know, his he was suffering in private, but his you know his hope was largely unreturned, and and his gratitude was quiet, actually, only expressing in the writing, but it was the the letters that changed everything, and they actually revealed the story behind the canvas. And so the the the world didn't connect to Van Gogh because of his paintings, the world actually connected because of sharing his story, and so it's actually you know, vulnerability is not weakness, it's it's actually the birthplace of meaning. And so Van Gogh lived that truth before it actually had a language, and so he did not armor himself from the pain, he actually documented it, he painted through it, he wrote honestly about it, and so what was once ignored, his paintings were just you know, they actually became timeless and and you know, not because the pain disappeared, but because the vulnerability remained visible. So it's interesting, again, in this, and maybe a stretch to combine Benet Brown and Vincent and Vincent Vegot, but like you know, again, what what is the meaning we're giving to our own story? And what are you uh again? Are you being brave to share and show up? And you know, it's it's it's about you know being really vulnerable about what's going on.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. Yeah. And uh so the moral of the story is get involved. Uh, you know, be present.
SPEAKER_00:Be present, be connected to yourself and and with others, be in community and and uh don't you know again life is gonna happen and and are you willing to lean into to it all? And again, your level of joy is usually connected to the level of grief that you can experience. And and again, just because you're grieving, again, that's not it's not everything, right? And just and just and gratitude doesn't mean you're ignoring the hard things going on. And so I on Thanksgiving Day, we can have both gratitude and actually grief at the same time.
SPEAKER_01:And you can be there uh beginning today with those people that are gathered around your table.
SPEAKER_00:That's right, and again, the moment being present in the moment, yeah, which again it's a gift to have those those moments with families. Absolutely. So it just puts perspective on things and and and things do matter and life does matter, and again, how we uh approach uh uh how we approach things and and it and it and again gratitude's not denying what's going on in in your life. Not at all. So I just I maybe I got a little uh I got up on the the preacher's uh box today, but I I just put some per it's all about perspective, and again, it's it's just so much to be thankful for and and grateful for. And um, and I I just thought again, listen, you and I, I mean, people can call us anytime. We can talk about real estate, but I was like, I'm gonna take today and we're gonna talk about gratitude.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I'm sure glad you did, and that's one of the main reasons I I like to be around here on Thanksgiving Day is to uh join you on the show and and uh again on Friday mornings, we uh gather every Friday morning and and try to uh physically show some of that gratitude and and shine a light on uh the folks that that make a difference in our community. We've uh we've been focusing a lot on uh the folks down in Batcave and and the uh uh Broad River Gorge area and the destruction that came there from Hurricane Helene, and there's no better shining example uh anywhere than uh the the volunteer work that's going on down there.
SPEAKER_00:And on and continuing to go on. Again, that's why I you know it even in the light of the anniversary, a year anniversary, I mean, uh people might find it surprising the amount of work that's still going on.
SPEAKER_01:Still needed.
SPEAKER_00:And still needed, and the opportunity to volunteer, the opportunity to to give and to and to show up. Again, neighbors still helping neighbors and in the work that's gonna be done there.
SPEAKER_01:We saw you and I have witnessed uh m many tears at this table, and uh tears of gratitude in a lot of ways. Uh the people, the victims, the folks who've suffered damage, they've been here at these microphones and and talked about uh all of the things that they've received and the and the love they've received from their neighbors there and people they didn't even know. So gratitude is a big part of uh of what we're talking about here.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, the th and the thing that sticks out to me, one of the most the most impactful things, and we've heard some phenomenal and we continue to hear some phenomenal stories, was one of the things that I remember hearing recently was the j the volunteers that were going and showing up to these different families' homes, and these families' homes were gone, but they said, Go help my neighbor. I mean, just I mean, it's so unbelievable.
SPEAKER_01:It's incredible. It is. Well, no, well, thank you so much. Uh, I can't believe we've talked about time flies. It really does. It really does. And you got a big apple pie to take home now. I can't wait to turn this mic off because uh all conversation will now cease. Thank you so much. See you tomorrow.
SPEAKER_00:Happy Thanksgiving. And again, so grateful to be here, and we'll be here tomorrow morning. Thank you. Bye. You've built a lifetime of strength, wisdom, and independence. And here's the best part. You still have it. Every decision, every step, every next chapter is yours to choose.

We're here to help you protect your wealth, preserve your legacy, and make sure Uncle Sam doesn't become your biggest benefactor.
