home: Morning Light with my Coffee on a Fall Day in Cary - 11/18/10 08:30 AM
We have a common tract built house in Cary, with many of the typical compromises that come from plucking a plan from a page and plunking it onto a plot.
Yet as time goes on, I begin to see how fortunate we were when we bought it. It is nearly perfectly situated for enjoyment of the natural light. The light swims around the house and plays in the trees from dawn to dusk. From the common living areas, the daily show is most pleasant
In the mornings, the early daylight is filtered through the trees on the south side and lights up the breakfast nook where I … (10 comments)

home: This used to be a bright green crop, and now it is withering on the vine.... - 07/28/10 05:23 PM
Yep. Used to be glossy green, and perky, and lush.
And now it is limp and dying.
I'll take the credit for that fact.
See, that lush little crop is Poison Ivy, and it was thriving in the back yard.
I got permission from the Sellers through the Listing Agent, and was allowed to go in and spray it with weed killer.
I would rather pull it, but, well, it is Poison Ivy. We don't play well together...
So, when the new owners move into Apex NC next month, they shouldn't have to worry about the two year … (11 comments)

home: Fabulous older Triangle home? Or newer construction? - 05/01/09 06:47 AM
The topic of polybutylene plumbing pipes recently sparked a little exchange in another venue, one in which I just had to participate.Modern methods vs. historical methods.Modern materials and components vs. historical materials and components.I like a historical gem of a home as well as the next person. Historic Oakwood. Boylan Heights. Mordecai. All great Raleigh neighborhoods with wonderful examples of old homes that have been loved. We have nothing like these in Cary. But I don't have blinders on regarding the topic of quality across time. we have slap stick builders today. Of course. We have always had slap stick builders, all … (0 comments)

home: Attention Buyers: Staged homes sell for top dollar! How much are you willing to pay for staging? - 11/02/08 09:05 PM
No one advertises home staging services to Buyers as a way for them to save money or build value; at least not in the Cary, NC, real estate market.
Staging services are marketed to SELLERS as a way to get increased prices! "Top Dollar!" That can be a good thing, depending on which side of the transaction you inhabit.
But Buyers have fallen into requiring staging in homes for some reason. Maybe to feel like they have had the full buying experience? At what cost?
So, my question to Buyers is: How much extra are you willing to pay for transitory decoration and … (17 comments)

home: Foreclosures are for Rich People, Redux with video - 10/27/08 06:55 PM
A while back I wrote about how first-time buyers and others on a shoestring budget in the Raleigh Cary NC area may be in error if they concentrate their home search on foreclosures.
"Foreclosures are for Rich People"
I believe that thought to be timely yet, and made it the topic of my first video blog.

home: Cary NC Real Estate Adventures: Which key to use? The one in the lockbox, or the one over the door? - 06/17/08 09:46 PM
A while back, I was showing Cary, NC, homes to clients, and we called in on a drive-by to get an appointment to see a home. No problem, got the appointment and the lockbox code.
And the front door was open... A nice couple came out. House was vacant. The Feller said, "What should I do with the key?"
Me: "Uh... The lockbox, maybe?"
Him: "No... It was over the door." And he started to put it on the ledge over the door.
I said, "Hold on."
He gave me the key, and we went in, saw the property, and decided to … (6 comments)

home: Cary NC Real Estate Adventures: "So... Where will the litter box go?" - 06/15/08 07:58 PM
"Litter Box Alcove" is not a common feature in a real estate listing.
But, to millions of Americans, a place to put the cat's litter box is a serious consideration and a desirable attribute in a home.
We were looking at affordable condos in Cary this morning and I posed the question.
I had the nice lady back and forth on where it would go. That condo had a couple of possibilities. The townhome we viewed next just really had no place suitable for Kitty's relief station. I'm sure that's why it didn't make the cut.
We decided that having a private and … (16 comments)

home: If I have a mortgage prequalification letter, why would the Seller ask me for a "preapproval" letter? - 06/03/08 08:12 PM
It's a tough market out there. Sure is. The Triangle is strong, but not immune to market forces. Why make it worse for yourself as a Buyer?
Some folks think that they call the tune strictly because they call themselves "Buyers." That's not enough! Real "Buyers" bring credibility, also known as proof of "Dollars" to the table. There are TWO parties to the transaction, and Sellers retain the right to sell, or to continue to own the property.
Sellers need assurance that you really can buy. While their house is off the market for you, they lose other more qualified Buyers. Your "prequal" letter may … (4 comments)

home: Cary NC Real Estate, I had a closing today, but I remember the hug from last week... - 11/29/07 11:06 PM
I had a closing today. Great. "Cha-Ching!" Nothing like going to the bank. Especially after a little racking of the nerves, funding style.
We often talk about the value of the services we offer, and how important it is to act as a fiduciary, and how rewarding it is to help folks. All of that is true. But I couldn't do it without the pay day. I haven't figured out how to do without my three hots and a cot.
Went to the bank. Went to the office. Went home and Sweetie told me how hard I work("Thank you, dear"), and the check stub is already … (14 comments)

home: Cary NC Real Estate, "Remove shoes?" My reply: "Please turn up the HEAT!" - 11/19/07 02:45 PM
Sure, I press my clients to remove shoes in a nice clean home, when the Seller makes the request. It is courtesy, and reasonable. And some cultures just do not wear shoes in the house. Respect. I'm all for it.
But we are approaching winter in North Carolina. NC winter is not Arctic, but it does get cool.
So, the first two homes I showed on Saturday were vacant. One had laminate floors. The other had a lot of hardwoods.
And the heat was OFF in the first one, and very low in the second one.
I was in the company of a young … (12 comments)

home: Cary NC Real Estate Agent uses Flickr to record Client's new home Construction. Clients love it! - 11/09/07 07:42 PM
My clients travel a little, and live just a few miles farther than our Keller Williams Cary real estate office from the new home site. And the spouse works long hours, and will have a difficult time seeing the construction of the home through its phases.
What to do?
I can usually find a few minutes most days, and have driven to the home site, and taken photos on a few occasions. Email would have been a little bit clumsy to send photos.
Hmmmm....
Flickr! Oh, for sure!
With my Flickr Pro account, I can post unlimited monthly photos. And now I have delighted clients who are grateful … (9 comments)

home: Cary, NC Real Estate: Home Inspection Roofing Follies...Pipe Boots? Kick-out flashings? Oh, My! - 10/20/07 10:18 PM
So, your listing is under contract and your Buyer has sent you a North Carolina Repair Request and agreement, asking you to do some roof repairs:
"Repair nail pops in shingles."
Sounds simple enough. I guess. What's a "Nail Pop?"
'Replace 3 split pipe boots."
Oka-a-ay. Uh-h..What the heck is a "pipe boot?"
"Install kick-out flashing at rake."
Sure, whatever. Is it just me or is this getting weird?
"Replace split cap shingle at gable."
Help!
Here are a few examples of the above items. They are dramatic to make it easy to view them. They are not necessarily indicative of a home that needs a new roof, but of general … (13 comments)
