north carolina real estate: NO! You Can NOT Have Your Earnest Money Back! - 04/23/08 01:39 AM

Do not pass go, do not collect $200, etc.
I mean, seriously. Enough is enough! We, as a collective citizenry (whoa-that goes against every grain of my Ayn Rand-loving nature), need to stand up and hold people accountable for their misbehavior.
Want to know why the easy mortgage money has … (121 comments)

north carolina 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)

north carolina 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.

north carolina real estate: Memo to Buyers - 01/07/07 07:36 PM

So you've selected an agent. Picked out your area of town. And are ready to get out there and see some houses! So your agent recommends that you talk with a lender first to get pre-approved.
No big deal, a few glitches here and there on your credit, but you're definitely … (6 comments)

north carolina real estate: Your Co-Worker May Not Be the Best Resource for Real Estate... - 01/05/07 02:31 PM

Now I know she's a lovely person and has been a great friend to you at work! But when you mentioned to her that you were considering purchasing a newly-built home instead of a resale home, she piped up that you wouldn't need me as your agent anymore-in fact, you wouldn't … (5 comments)

north carolina 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)

Price bands are not 'range pricing', as used so effectively by Broker Bryant. Price bands are another way of gauging your inventory and absorption rates in different price breaks.

north carolina real estate: Even A Blind Pig Can Find An Acorn.... - 12/27/06 01:30 PM

In reading Leanne's post earlier, I got to thinking about the proverbial blind pig.
In our industry, this correlates to new agents. Green agents. Rookie agents. Lazy agents. Part time agents. Undedicated agents.
You get the picture.
Blind pig isn't necessarily a derogatory term-it's a phase we all go through in becoming established … (8 comments)
