Part 3 - Agency and the Home Buyer
This is the third in a series of articles describing the concept of agency, as it applies to real estate transactions in North Carolina. The purpose of these articles is to educate people who are interested in buying or selling a home in the Gaston County, NC region about the value of representation when buying or selling a home. This information should be of particular interest to first time home buyers who have not previously gone through the process of buying a home.

I'm not signing anything! - Part 1 - 10/13/09 12:28 PM
"I'm not signing anything!"
How many times have I heard this from people who contact me to shop for property? I lost count long ago!
The thing is, I understand where they're coming from. I am very wary of signing any paper that is shoved in front of me. However, I understand that I usually find myself in this scenario because I want something from the person asking for my signature. So, I try to keep an open mind. My response is typically, "Convince me why I should sign." - or in more blunt terms "What's in it for me?" (aka. WIIFM).

Use it or lose it. I say "Lose it!" - 10/04/09 12:45 PM
I was just reading this article on CNNMoney.com. Local governments are bemoaning the fact that they are having difficulty spending federal grant money from the Neighborhood Stabilization Program. The problem? Private investors and home buyers are snatching up foreclosed properties before the local program administrators are able to.
"Getting hold of the houses, especially the right houses, can be a lot harder than they thought," said housing expert Alan Mallach, a non-resident senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Now, I'm certainly no economist. … (1 comments)

It's getting dark outside - 10/01/09 07:03 PM
It's 7:30 PM and outside my window the dusk has settled in. As someone who enjoys lots of outdoor activities, I've been acutely aware of the decreasing daylight over the past couple of weeks. Yesterday I noticed that the "Pumpkin Patch" near my home, that raises funds for cancer research, was open for business. High school football is in full swing, and in Belmont, NC, and throughout Gaston County, that is a big deal!
I love the Fall, but the truth is that I love all seasons - though I sometimes have my doubts about Winter.
Soon Daylight Savings Time will expire and many will go into … (5 comments)
