relocation package: Why Should You Buy a Home NOW? I'll SHOW You Why!
- 02/19/08 07:18 AM
Regardless of the facts showing the positive numbers that we're seeing here in NC, Buyers are shying away from the market because of the national 'news' and the hype that we're in the midst of a recession.

Any way that you look at the numbers, now is a great time to buy and I'll show you why!

relocation package: Charlotte, NC Relocation Information: MYERS PARK HISTORY & DEMOGRAPHICS
- 02/16/08 12:04 PM
Myers Park, one of Charlotte’s premier neighborhoods is one of Charlotte's finest planned suburb. The 1200-acre farm, originally owned by John Spring Myers whose son-in-law, George Stephens finally developed the neighborhood, ran from Charlotte to Providence Presbyterian Church. In 1905, John Nolen, a Harvard graduate who later became a well known landscape architect, designed the site on which the neighborhood is located.
Myers Park retains much of its original flavor and we believe it is a neighborhood worth protecting to the standard set by its founders when it was developed. The original plan for the George Stephens Company, was to … (5 comments)
