Occoneechee Indians Occoneechee State Park is named for the tribe of Native Americans who inhabited this region. One of the first written accounts of the people of this region is from a German traveler, John Lederer. Lederer was commissioned by the Governor of Virginia to explore the territory. Lederer made his expedition in 1670, and his accounts report that the “Akenatzy” people lived on an island in the Roanoke River. According to Le-derer, the Occoneechee were governed by two chiefs; one who governed in war, the other in peace. The island home of the Occoneechee was a great regional trading center, with other Indians traveling from hundreds of miles away to trade; and the Occoneechee language was widely used as a common language of trade.

Buying a home is often a difficult thing to do. The stress of making such a big financial commitment is a struggle for many home buyers, whether they have purchased a home in the past or are doing so for the first time.

One way to make the process a lot less anxiety-ridden is to work with a real estate agent you can trust. Those who have previously purchased a home might already have a strong relationship with a real estate agent. But for those moving out of their current location or buying for the first time, finding the right real estate agent requires some effort. Those in the market for an agent to help navigate the home buying process should consider the following tips.

* Find a buyer’s agent. Real estate agents are often affiliated with sellers instead of buyer’s. This means their primary goal is to help the seller and not the buyer. When shopping around for a real estate agent, ask companies about their buyer’s agents. Buyers should always have someone with their interests in mind, and not the inter-ests of the sellers.

* Find an agent fi rst, then a property. Many times homes remain listed online or in “home for sale” brochures even if they are under contract or sold.

* Don’t place too much emphasis on agency size. Real estate agencies come in all shapes and sizes. When it comes to ability, the size of the agency should not factor in. A smaller independent agency can be just as qualified and reliable as one of the major franchise agencies. Buyers who find someone they trust should go with that person, regardless of how big or small their agency is.

* Get a referral. Friends and family members who have been through the buying process before might be great resources.

Finding a trustworthy and experienced real estate agent can help make the process of buying a home much less stressful.
