Hello!Welcome to the September Newsletter for  Black Diamond Realty!

After 12 years in dormancy, a rivalry was renewed this past weekend.

We were pleased with WVU’s overall performance and enjoyed an exhilarating football game that came down to the final play. At Black Diamond Realty, Sunday’s game held a special place in our hearts. One of the principal owners, David Lorenze, feels indebted to both universities. David’s roots are in Morgantown, WV whereas his college education hails from Virginia Tech. Was our brokerage team wearing burnt orange and maroon? Absolutely not! Our color pallet aligns with the old gold and blue. In addition to the schools’ long-standing rivalry, our namesake is also immersed in the region’s rich coal tradition. Coal has been West Virginia’s black diamond for generations.  Through our commercial brokerage services and community support, we strive to positively influence the landscape for future generations to enjoy. We appreciate the continued support from our clients, friends and family. As Black Diamond Realty closes the books on our fourth year, we anticipate a future rich in Black Diamond successes, both in real estate and Mountaineer football.

What are some challenging characteristics associated with finding commercial real estate in north central WV? Rolling hills, challenging access and lack of public utilities could be in the top three.   For many businesses looking to expand into this area, beautiful hillsides equal many thousands of dollars in site work. Simply put, it is very expensive to move mountains. Topography is a challenge for many sectors looking for WV real estate but especially industrial users who need large acreage. Large, flat acreage is rare in our neck of the woods. Does your company face this challenge? Black Diamond Realty is pleased to announce two industrial offerings with substantial acreage , ranging in size from 1 to 30+ acres of land.
