concord nc real estate: The Surveyor's Call That You Don't Expect - 05/30/08 03:21 PM
I don't know if things are different in other parts of the country, my particular specialty is real estate in and around Charlotte NC. But around here, part of the due diligence on purchasing a home is in obtaining a new survey. We're old school here in North Carolina. Our surveyors operate on the old method of metes and bounds. And you need a new survey to know where your corners lie (you may want a fence at some point, a storage shed, a pool, etc). Also, you need that survey if you want full title insurance coverage against future problems … (10 comments)

concord nc real estate: How MY Real Estate TEAM Works - 02/06/07 05:34 AM
I write this, hoping that many of you out there who slam real estate teams, will see it and understand perhaps that all are not created the same.
Several comments I've read lately on other blog posts indicate that mega-producers let things 'slip through the cracks' and 'hire $10 per hour assistants to do the leg work', etc. Implying that teams are bad.
For you consumers out there who hate the jargon we get into in real estate...single agents are just that-single agents, who do everything themselves. Work buyers and sellers, handle contracts, do marketing, print brochures, etc. Teams are usually one rainmaker/team … (15 comments)

concord nc real estate: Moratorium, schmoratorium! - 01/21/07 07:50 PM
Why, oh why, do the powers that be always think the answer to growth is a building moratorium? The county manager for Cabarrus County (that's Concord, Harrisburg, Kannapolis NC) is apparently panicking at the current rate of growth and wants a moratorium to slow it down.
Granted-this area is undergoing dramatic change. The new Concord Convention Center opened last week, new subdivisions are multiplying like rabbits, new retail is opening everywhere, schools are bursting at the seams. And you know, the sacred cow of property tax isn't even something that's been a problem here. Sure, we're low compared to most of the country … (2 comments)

concord nc real estate: Do you REALLY want an 'exclusive' Buyer Agent? - 01/17/07 03:01 PM
Please hear me out before you slam me.
There are several agents in our marketplace who purport to be Exclusive Buyer Agents. They refuse to take listings at all, period, end of discussion. Their reasoning for this is that it's better for buyers if you're completely, totally focused on one end of the business.
I disagree.
Now, I'm not saying that buyers don't need representation. You do, absolutely, need specific, dedicated representation on your behalf.
However, one of the main goals we try to accomplish when locating a home is making sure that we have located an investment where you'll make a profit when the … (9 comments)

concord nc real estate: "I'll Keep It In Mind" - 01/16/07 03:59 PM
So what does this REALLY mean, when an agent says this?
Short version: Go to Hell! Not all situations qualify for this translation. This one is reserved for the sellers who call you and want you to sell their house for a crazy low commission or fee-not to list with you, mind you-but just for you to earn if you go find a buyer for them. I'll give you an example:A seller emailed me last week and asked if I would sell his home.
Sure! I know the neighborhood and the pricing and the builder, ready to roll.
But...he only wants to pay me … (10 comments)

concord nc real estate: Leave My Buyer ALONE! - 01/15/07 02:13 PM
So can someone tell me when, precisely, it became okay for a listing agent to try and cut me out of a deal? I know, it happens all the time, but it ROYALLY ticks me off.
My buyer, by the way, is a repeat client of mine and is very loyal because I provide a high level of service to him-in the way that he deems to be most beneficial to him. See, he travels a LOT on business. And on the side, he develops land. He'll purchase a parcel, oh, once or twice a year. I don't push or pressure … (49 comments)

concord nc real estate: Proposed Legislation for English-Only - 01/14/07 01:31 PM
Here we go again...one of our local county commissioners, the esteemed Coy Privette, has introduced a resolution that the official language of Cabarrus County NC (that's Concord, Harrisburg, Kannapolis, Mt Pleasant, Midland) be designated as English.
For all practical purposes, it means that all government documents, meetings, minutes, policies, etc be in English and English only.
Mr Privette's position is that putting this resolution into place sends a message that our Hispanic residents (because let's be honest, this isn't directed at anyone else) that they need to learn English to be welcome in Cabarrus County. Similar legislation is being proposed all over … (11 comments)

concord nc real estate: Real Feedback Received! - 01/13/07 07:24 PM
This is feedback I just received on a listing in a neighborhood where the other houses are keeping values from reaching their market potential! We have the cutest house in there, and one of the cutest houses in this area. And the seller knows that what he gets for this house will be dictated in large part by the rest of the neighborhood.
Yet another reason to work closely with a buyer agent before purchasing new construction...get an agent who knows that builder and what their neighborhoods do over time. Might be something in the way of a familiar pattern that can save you from feedback … (2 comments)

concord nc real estate: All Appraisals Are NOT Created Equal - 12/29/06 03:10 PM
Once again I find myself prepared for a listing appointment wherein the seller will have to bring a lot of $$$ to the closing table in order to sell the house.
This happens more than you might think...say you buy a house for $145m. Then decide to do some upgrades, so you want a home equity line for $20m. Your bank calls out an appraiser who says it's worth $172m. Hooray, you think, I got a great deal on my house!
So then you decide to sell a year later. You still owe $165m on the house (you spent the whole $20m on … (9 comments)

concord nc real estate: At the family reunion today... - 12/26/06 08:35 PM
There was a surprising amount of real estate talk!
Let me preface this by explaining that my mother is the youngest of 8 kids, there are 18 grands and all of our spouses and respective kids. It's a large group and rather noisy at any function!
So my dad and I are residential broker/owners, my cousin is a local builder, and another cousin is a real estate assistant.
The cousin who is an assistant is new to the assistant world. She's a CPA by training and has been doing the books for a local real estate office until recently, when a RE/MAX agent in her … (7 comments)

concord nc real estate: What you get for the money, in Charlotte NC - 12/20/06 09:15 AM
I love that show, on Fine Living, it's pretty fascinating to see how different the inventory is from area to area in the same price break.
But even though this show seems to help somewhat in adjusting expectations for some people (at least I hope it does), there are a lot of misconceptions about the Charlotte NC market (including Concord, Harrisburg, Ballantyne, Lake Norman, etc).
In just about every major news story about hot markets in real estate, Charlotte shows up as being a great value. Which it is, and I'm glad to talk with folks about what your money buys here-we … (3 comments)

concord nc real estate: If YOU Want to Give Away The Farm, That's YOUR Call! - 12/19/06 07:41 PM
But don't expect me to work for free along with you!
Please humor me in this rant-I have a couple of points to make, actually.
I received an offer on one of my listings 10 days ago (hooray!), very LOOOOOOOOOOW but hey-that's the game some buyers choose to play. Bear in mind that this house is less than a year old, in beautiful condition, priced accurately in a good neighborhood/good town/good school district, etc. Has had excellent traffic. We negotiated over this ridiculously long 10 day period (around here things are usually hammered out within 24 hours unless banks or relo are involved), the sellers … (17 comments)

concord nc real estate: The Local Media, At It Again... - 12/13/06 07:33 PM
Just when you think it's safe to go back in the water....
I was reading my local newspaper online (I get the hard copy but read the online edition for the editorial blogs and such-if you're not doing the same thing, pay attention as more and more folks access local news online)-and reading the latest post on a newcomers blog called 'The Naked City.' Here's the interesting part:
"But some CMS schools are clearly troubled. How do parents, especially people new to Charlotte, learn which is which? Just asking real estate agents or people you happen to run into doesn't guarantee you'll … (2 comments)
