Home Inspection Carolina Charlotte NC--The Agent's Choice Inspectors
Local business is so important to my business as it seems that the 'big guys' are sometimes a bit 'gimicky' and the turnover is higher than the small businesses that I've been associated with in the past.  I'd like to salute my favorite home inspection firm here in Charlotte NC--Home Inspection Carolina.  Preston and Meg Sandlin started this company from their home 11 years ago and have expanded to 7 inspectors and 3 office personnel.  They ARE the preferred inspectors in Charlotte but, that doesn't stop them from giving A+, individualized service.

nc local expert: First Time Homebuyer Handbook, Part I - 01/16/09 07:16 PM
Why rent when you CAN buy?  Why pay someone else's mortgage for them?  When you're a renter, you're doing just that--making your landlord a nice little nest egg for his or her retirement!  

Much ado is being made in the news today that the banks aren't lending money and that no one is able to secure a mortgage.  Well, let me tell you--Not ONE of my clients turned down for a mortgage during this last year!  Banks ARE lending money and chances are you can own your own home for the same amount that you're paying in rent.  With … (17 comments)

Moving to Charlotte NC?  Economics are a major advantage that Charlotte has over other cities--it's just a great place to live, work and play!
C harlotte was perceived, many years ago as a textile center and now, a banking center. While Charlotte remains proud of the industries with which it has been associated over the years, this small, segmented stereotype sells the city's economy short. Charlotte boasts a vibrant, balanced economy that encompasses many sectors, as well as companies that range in size from microbusiness to multinational.  Charlotte's economy is easily one of the healthiest and strongest in the nation. Diverse business interests … (13 comments)

At it Again! Homeownership--What it Once Was... SHOCK!  The media is at it again!  Today's front page real estate section boasts that 'Homebuyers face new scrutiny when securing loans.'  Okay, my dander is up AGAIN! The article, in a nutshell, is playing on the reader's fears that homebuying is not what it once was.  Here are the main points along with, of course, my counter-points:


1.  You can no longer secure a 100% mortgage loan.  Yes, I had investors who did this but, this article is that it is focused on the homebuyer seeking a primary residence.  I am … (23 comments)

Providence Springs is a quaint neighborhood nestled between the Arboretum and Rea Road (the city-side of Highway 51).

To Preview or Not To Preview! To Preview or NOT to Preview? Have you ever been on a short-notice search (less than 16 hours!) of a mother-in-law (MIL) suite for your clients? I took a wonderful couple shopping for homes in my area, looking for brick ranch homes with either separate living quarters (kitchen included) or a full, finished basement (also with a kitchen) to be used as a mother-in-law suite.  The problem here in Charlotte is that there are not alot of high-end ranch style homes available that were built after the 1980's.  This is primarily due to the subdivision … (62 comments)
