wilson: More than just a sign in the yard
- 01/06/12 03:17 PM
Let's get that house sold! We put more than just a sign in the yard - check out our yard signs! I happened to be on duty for our office over the Christmas weekend and on floor duty this past week. Let's just say that I can see hope on the near horizon for the real estate market in the Wilson area! I received several sign calls as well as internet inquiries in a traditionally "slow" time of year for real estate. Presently, I am preparing a prospective "show list" for folks that are considering the Wilson area for their next … (1 comments)

- 01/02/12 12:55 AM
2011 was a quite a year here in Wilson! Mine started off pretty rough with brutal challenges in the first 2 weeks of January. The year progressed with things improving as each day passed. We are moving forward to brighter tomorrows as we march triumphantly into the new year. We have the hope of an awesome future awaiting us. God is faithful!
We are looking forward to 2012 with eyes of hope - full of fresh ideas and new strategies for success on all levels of life as we gather information and encouragement to break the "new ground" of … (1 comments)
wilson: We built 2 new houses over the Christmas Holidays!
- 12/29/11 03:08 PM
Everybody knows how slow the market can be in December.....so we decided we needed to build a couple of houses. We set out to find the best looking plans we could find and then to get an architect to make some changes to match our client's “tastes”. Then we had to talk to a builder and some sub-contractors to be sure we could get everything done before Christmas. Once we were assured we could get it done we started gathering all the supplies.....and this is what we came up with!
Okay, okay, I know it was a play on words...but … (3 comments)
Many deals are out there right now in the Wilson real estate market! And there are lenders that are ready and able to make you the loan if you qualify to buy one. But there is one, very important thing you need to keep in mind about financing your home purchase in order to make sure your closing actually happens!
Hopefully, before you decided to even go look at homes, you got a loan prequalification from your preferred lender. … (0 comments)

wilson: Fresh paint? You might want to look a little closer!
- 12/17/11 02:58 AM
Fresh paint! Look a little closer! The Wilson area is full of homes for sale with some that have had recent repairs. High humidity, moisture and termite damage can often be the reason for these repairs. Looking at homes can often be confusing. Which floor plan fits your lifestyle - what is convenient to work, school or church - yard size - amenities - the list goes on in a real estate search! But a very important factor that needs to be remembered is the condition of the home. We have seen buyers fall in love with the home of their … (2 comments)
wilson: What is "Citizen's Academy" in Wilson, NC
- 12/06/11 03:11 PM
Citizen's Academy is a great program presented by the City of Wilson, NC. I had never really heard much about the Citizen's Academy even though they had been holding it for several years. I decided that since I have lived in Wilson for 32 years, it was time I learned a little more about the city and how it works. I decided to apply. I sent my application to Tonya West with the city and did not hear anything for a few weeks, then one day I got a letter in the mail that said I was accepted. I was actually … (0 comments)
wilson: Deck The Halls!
- 12/06/11 08:30 AM
Deck the halls! Decorate your home and enjoy the Christmas season - even if your home is on the market! Many sellers are reluctant to have their homes on the market during the Christmas holidays because they feel like buyers may not want to see a home decorated and not in it's everyday condition. But our experience tells us, that this is not an issue with most buyers. They welcome the opportunity to see a home all "decked out" with tree and other holiday decor trimmings because it allows them to get a glimpse of how they could decorate should … (1 comments)
wilson: Wilson, NC real estate is hopefully picking up!
- 11/30/11 02:37 PM
Great news! We're starting to see some light at the end of the proverbial "real estate tunnel" here in the Wilson area. Call-ins and showings seem to be picking up a little as well as Open House traffic. At this time of year, as we approach the Christmas season, we normally see buyer inquiries taper off a bit until January, so this flutter of activity is promising. There have been some years in the past that we have had tremendous viewing activity and sale closings in December, even on Christmas Eve! So you never really know who might be looking to … (0 comments)
wilson: What is it with buyers and low offers?
- 10/25/11 04:39 PM
It seems like buyers are getting worse and worse with the low offers. No matter howwell the house is priced, they still want to come in considerably lower with their offer. I can understand if the house is overpriced as many are today, but when the house is priced according to the market and the offer still comes in $30K below and then asks for closing costs it hardly makes any sense. I am looking forward with much anticipation to a time when buyers are again willing to pay what the house is worth. With these low interest rates and low … (7 comments)
wilson: It seems like it has been forever since I have blogged here
- 08/21/09 04:09 AM
It seems like it has been forever since I have blogged here. The last couple of months have been very busy. There has been so much going on I have not taken the time to sit down and update. This will be rather short today too. June was a great month. Everything I heard about sales picking up was true. July was slower as everyone was trying to get their vacations in before school starts back. The first time home buyers have gotten a little more aggressive. They really need to. If they are not careful their opportunities will run out … (1 comments)
wilson: How hard is it to buy a house?
- 04/28/09 03:58 PM
I get asked this question frequently. People will ask, "How hard is it to buy a house in Wilson, NC?" The truth is that it is just as hard to buy a house here as it is anywhere else in the country. The advantage is that our prices are generally moderate in comparison to other areas of the country. The biggest drawback lately has been finding qualified buyers. The investors are still buying as long as they have cash or a very good cash flow. Individual buyers on the other hand don't seem to understand what they need to understand when … (0 comments)

- 04/12/08 04:08 PM
Hey everyone! I hope everyone has enjoyed this week of almost beautiful weather! This has been a great week for real estate in the Wilson area. I have had potential clients and clients from as far away as California and Mexico! All coming to Wilson for a variety of different reasons. We still have the retirees and the halfbacks but our locals are also starting to get back into the picture a little bit more. I am seeing many more sign calls and internet inquiries than the past few months. This is encouraging! Interest rates in our area are still running … (2 comments)
