Hobart Smith Homes...Building a Family Tradition in Charlotte NC for Nearly 50 Years!

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:48:12 -0600

Hobart Smith Homes…

“Building a Family Tradition since 1960”

Pride of Ownership – As a homeowner, that is very important to you. You want your home to fulfill your ideals and represent the values your family holds dear. You want it to embrace qualities of comfort and beauty but, also serve your practical needs so that you can get on with the business of life.

Hobart Smith Homes understands what Pride of Ownership means.

When its founder, Hobart Smith, Sr., began building homes in 1960, he applied years of experience in the banking and building supply industries to what is now one of the most highly respected home building companies in the Charlotte area. He knew that listening to the customer was the best way to learn what homeowners wanted and needed. Whether they desired smooth-flowing floor plans, expansive bonus rooms, modern work stations or front porches, Smith made sure that he accommodated the request right down to the last detail. Over 4,000 homes in the Charlotte, Statesville and Raleigh areas are proof of this prestigious company’s popularity and reliability.

Philosophy – Today, sons Hobart, Jr. (Skip) and Tony, along with grandson, Chet, continue to strive to meet those cherished standards. They believe that bringing old fashioned values to a high-tech business is a winning formula. “We can afford to take a personal interest in every property we build,” says Skip Smith. “Management-wise, we’re totally hands-on.” Their combined over-100 years of experience have proven to the Smiths that standing behind the quality of each and every home they build is a principle that works.

Furthermore, Hobart Smith Homes are custom-designed on site, by the most skilled craftsmen, of the finest quality materials and techniques. “Our employees are dedicated to the company name,” says Skip.

Because families want their homes to reflect their personalities, Hobart Smith offers a wide variety of unique floor plans that accommodate every lifestyle. Whether they’re traditional, with formal living and dining rooms, or have free-flowing great rooms and media centers, the heart of the homes are kitchens that make cooking and entertaining a joy.

Quality craftsmanship, distinctive architecture and the personal attention of the builder—who said they don’t make homes like they used to?

When it comes to all-around excellence, Hobart Smith Homes is simply unsurpassed in the building industry. Satisfied customers of Hobart Smith Homes abound in the Charlotte area! Their customer-service-beyond-the-standard-warranty is their trademark. Not only do they provide the coveted 2-10 Warranty, they provide the personal service that other builders only 'claim' to provide.

View Hobart Smith homes available in South Charlotte (Providence Plantation area).

These gorgeous full-brick homes are in a lush landscaped setting in prime South Charlotte. The first 3 of ten are now complete and ready for a happy new home buyer!

View Hobart Smith Homes' last available home for sale in the SouthPark / Sardis Road area (Sardis Place).

The final home built in Sardis Place is now available for move-in! Position yourself in beautiful SouthPark with the convenience of all of Charlotte's prestigious private schools (mere minutes away)!

Is Bank of America Leaving Charlotte?

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:45:28 -0600

Is Bank of America Leaving Charlotte?

My personal feeling is that BOA isn’t going anywhere! Does it really matter where the CEO lives? In this day and time, with all of our technological advances and the increasing ability to do our jobs from the office, our homes or the beach and the video conferencing capabilities that we so often use, I can't imagine why this topic has gotten Charlotte residents so up in arms over the location of the new CEO of Bank of America.

Bank of America owns far too much real estate here in Charlotte that to sell it and purchase FAR more expensive real estate in NY in this market is, in my opinion, simply ludicrous! And, to whom are they going to sell?!

Another consideration is the cost of relocating their personnel to NY . Imagine the taxes that they'd have to pay in New York--well above and beyond those here in Charlotte.

Those factors would (should) deter any business from relocating from ‘reasonable’ Charlotte, NC to ‘exorbitant’ New York!

(Sorry NY friends--I have helped numerous transferees from NY and they all concur that our taxes are far less than those which they had been used to paying in New York)!

The City of Charlotte and the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce are both working towards a more appealing business climate here in Charlotte. Charlotte has always been ahead of the curve with small and large business relations. Over the last decade, Charlotte has been one of the most forward-thinking metropolitan areas in the country—and that is expected to continue with our new leadership.

So, no, I don't think Bank of America headquarters is moving anywhere, anytime soon!

Just my humble opinion!

Active Rain Featured in the North Carolina Association of Realtors® Insight Magazine

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:39:11 -0600

Active Rain Featured in the North Carolina Association of Realtors® Insight Magazine

Barbara West, Assistant Editor of the North Carolina Association of Realtors® Insight magazine featured three of Active Rain's NC agents in their most recent edition! "Active Rain is a True Real Estate Community" featured your own Leesa Finley, Diane Aurit and myself--all of which expressed our passion for the Rain and how beneficial it is to our business.

Leesa, from Wake Forest, recently received a phone call from an excited buyer, proclaiming "I hear you're the Wake Forset specialist." Leesa knew right away that she had been discovered by this potential buyer, none other than, right here in the Rain!

Leesa & I reviewed the benefits of Active Rain's incredible search engine optimization and the reason behind this phoenomenon! Leesa is excited that she can post a blog and have it found by the search engines within 15 minutes!

Diane, from Lake Norman, shared the networking / problem solving capabilities of agent-to-agent posts (members only) and the benefits of having this network available to us. In our business, this is very important! One example that I can share is reading Katerina Gasset & Broker Bryant's posts on short sales, thinking a couple of years ago that short sales would never see the light of day in North Carolina! Well, was I ever wrong! For the past year, I've been using Active Rain as my primary source for learning short sales and networking with other agents who specialize in them. What a relief it has been to have the power of this network behind every aspect of a short sale for me and my team!

I reviewed the Ambassador program with Ms. West and explained how we're here to teach new menbers and mentor them until they can 'fly alone!' Barbara did join the network and found that the new member services were more than welcoming and that they were receptive and responsive to questions that new members have. Her comment, "They want to help you!" I just think that it's wonderful that this is the first impression that she got from her experience with Active Rain! Of course, I would expect nothing less--the AR staff have always been incredibly responsive to me--even when I had the silliest of questions--they are so giving of themselves, their knowledge and their time!

That is what I LOVE about Active Rain! Everyone WANTS to help make one another successful. How exciting to have our favorite real estate forum featured in the North Carolina Association of Realtors® Insight magazine! Kudos to my NC buddies, Leesa & Diane--great interviews and awesome promotion of our favorite real estate network. Hopefully we got the word out to other agents about the benefits of Active Rain!

The Road to Raleigh - The First RDU REBar Camp!

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:14:42 -0600

The Road to Raleigh

As I headed up I-85 to Raleigh on Thursday, I debated whether I was more excited to see or meet Active Rain members or that I was about to gain powerful knowledge that would prove beneficial to add to my business plan. My heart screamed that I couldn't WAIT to get there to see my buddy Thom Abbott and many others that I had heard were attending the camp. My mind yearned for more social media tips and tricks that would streamline my business into a more manageable plan for 2010. The closer I got, the more my heart ruled!

REBar Camps are popular because of their free style--the topics covered are selected by the attendees and it could be as late as a 'last minute' decision or something that most every REBar Camp has historically had attendees request. The Raleigh / Durham camp was no different--WELL, maybe it was!

As a member of the planning committee for the Charlotte REBar Camp (the first in North Caronlina!), I took everything in so that I could bring back ideas for tweaking our camp for 2010. Let me just say this, Eleanor Thorne and Pamela St. Peter, along with several other committee members did an AMAZING job of planning this event. The team was most hospitable--from the hotel 'discount' arrangements to the lunch provided during the camp, their southern hospitality mark was on every aspect of the camp.

Beer for Bloggers, the night-before-networking event, was held at a spot that was within walking distance to our hotel (how nice is that?!). There, I met up with other Bar Camp attendees, organizers, Active Rain members (and thanks for the Rock-Star-Entrance guys!) and the shortest 24-hour period in my life, began! My buddy, Thom Abbott, met me in the parking lot and escorted me inside to applause from many other Active Rain members--how awesome is THAT?! I first had to stop at the door and tell Eleanor Thorne that I was SO looking forward to the event and that her online information had been absolutely wonderful. Pamela St. Peter grabbed me and took me around the first table, where I met the Zillow rep, Diane Tuman and several Active Rain members who are dear to me--Debbie Malone, Kathy Carson, Carol Smith & Penny Hull, Bobby & Brad Carroll (Dakno) were there too! Then, Thom exhuberently took me to another table to show me that he had (really, it was Lane Bailey who 'had!') brought Patty Keller and Connie Harvey had come in from Nashville as well. I found Lori Bee, who lives not too far at all from me, was able to make the trip--what a PLEASANT surprise! Jim Crawford from ATL had brought his lovely wife with him also attended, as did Susie Blackmon. And, everyone's fav, Nannette Saunders was there too! Ann Allen flew in from Birmingham to attend--and, yes, she is perfectly lovely, just like she seems in the Rain!

I met many others at Beer for Bloggers on Thursday evening--it was a nice beginning to the 24-hour madness of RE Bar Camp!

So, the heart has been taken care of, now the mind...

A very organized opening to the camp with introductions and guest gifts (which I left in Lane's car!), a bite to eat, surveys from the organizers to see what we wanted to learn, and we were on our way.

David Patterson, our very OWN, David Patterson, did the 'preamble' to the camp! His presentation was absolutely flawless--I think he shoud be in radio! OH, WAIT--he IS! David was a dynamic and engaging speaker and did a wonderful overview of social media and things that we were about to learn. During his presentation, the organizers compiled their surveys and with a pre-determined list of presenters or 'thought leaders,' set the schedule for the day.

We had 5 opportunities on each of 5 time frames to move from room to room to listen and learn about 5 topics that we thought best fit our personal / business needs at the time. My first class was with, no other than our OWN C-Tann-Starr! This was her first time speaking at one of these camps and she did a fabulous job! She shared her passion for writing and getting out there socially, front and CENTER! The icing on the cake for her class for me was that I won one of her door prizes: an autographed copy of Margaret Rome's book, Real Estate the Right Rome Way!

I then had to teach a class on--what else but, BLOGGING! This was a blogging 101 course and of course, I used my Active Rain blog as an example of how I blog and what I blog about. Our very OWN Jeremy Blanton was in attendance as well (WOOHOO!) and shared some of his awesome pointers with the group! I can't tell you how many of those agents had never blogged before and were truly afraid to get started! They asked great questions and afterwards, for the remainder of the day, they were asking if they could contact me for assistance if needed and many have already 'friended' me on Facebook to get more acquainted. What a powerful thing social media is!

One of my favorite classes was by Bobby & Brad Carroll and our OWN Susie Blackmon on Posterous. I am working on a post to share with you how wonderful this site is! I've started my own photo blog now and had to contact their help line and actually got a response from one of the founders of Posterous himself! Now, THAT is customer service!

My next class was with Wayne Sutton, North Carolina's KING of social media and a panel of other social media experts, including our OWN Lori Bee! I learned that my 5 minutes a day that I designate to each Facebook and Twitter need to be adjusted significantly! I'm ALL about real estate but, I do need to be more transparent on other sites as I am here in the Rain. I've been commited to posting my listings and other real estate topics there but, need to stop doing that and get into relationship-building more than I have been.

From there, I went to a LinkedIn class, also taught by one of our OWN, Nannette Saunders and coaching guru, Martin Brossman! Once again, I learned that I need to really set forth working on my relationship-building opportunities that LinkedIn has to offer. Connecting with other agents is all well and good but, working with my sphere and their sphere are imperative as you use LinkedIn. One example sited was while working with a like-minded business woman, a double sale and a referral came from the relationship. That relationship took FOUR years to build but, what a pay-off, huh?! Both Nannette & Martin were great speakers and answered our questions clearly and in great detail.

All-in-all, it was an awesome 'non-conference' and a great time was had by all! I can't tell you how valuable the information was for my business and yes, my heart was satisfied by being able to spend time with all of my Active Rain buddies who were in attendance also! (If you're an AR member and I left you off the list, I sincerely apologize).

Stay tuned for more detail on each of these classes!
