harrisburg nc real estate: I Love Racists! - 10/08/07 07:59 PM
Well, not in THAT way.  I love them in a round-about way.....because today I benefited from the stupidity and ignorance of a classic racist!
So anyhoo, my husband and I put in an offer on a house for investment a couple of weeks ago.  It was priced right and in good condition-so … (28 comments)

harrisburg 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 … (14 comments)

harrisburg nc real estate: Creative Problem Solving - 01/30/07 07:37 PM
At least, that's what I'll call it to give another agent the benefit of the doubt!
Get this.  I have a listing that is scheduled to close tomorrow (it's a 20-some-odd year old house), and the buyers had their final walk-through tonight.
I get a call from the buyers' agent that there are … (10 comments)

harrisburg 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 … (2 comments)

harrisburg 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 … (10 comments)

harrisburg 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 … (11 comments)

harrisburg nc real estate: I Think I'm Going to Run for Mayor! - 01/13/07 01:21 PM
I've always been somewhat interested in politics-and the older I get, the more focused I get locally.  You can have the drama in DC, thank you very much!
Because we have plenty here in our small town of Harrisburg NC.  Just north of Charlotte NC.  You probably last heard of Harrisburg when … (13 comments)

harrisburg nc real estate: Are You Shopping For An Agent, Investors? - 01/12/07 02:16 PM
I just finished an initial consultation with a group of prospective investor clients (they've moved from suspect to prospect), who are entertaining the possibility of creating a portfolio of properties in the Charlotte NC area.  They currently live and work in New York City, but the cost of housing up there … (2 comments)

harrisburg nc real estate: Do You Ever Second-Guess Yourself? - 12/30/06 12:19 PM
I do once in a while.  Part of me isn't quite used to this balanced market idea-I'm entirely too used to the buyers' market we've been experiencing for several years!
I run comps like a fiend, do a lot of statistical analysis to know the overall market, and still wish I had … (9 comments)

harrisburg 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 … (7 comments)

harrisburg 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 … (3 comments)

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 … (17 comments)
