realtor: Short sale Vs. Foreclosures - 03/27/08 05:18 PM
I have been doing a lot of work in the foreclosure market. Foreclosures have not taken over our market like a lot of places, but there are more of them. Some banks seem to be a pain in the neck to negotiate with. I have had much better experience with short sales for some reason. It seems that the banks are more willing deal with you before they go through the foreclosure process.
Does anyone else see this? Or is it just something I am making up in my head.

realtor: important information when buying a new home! - 12/07/07 07:28 AM
I was just involved in a new home purchase that tried to go bad! Here is how we saved out client from going through a bad experience.
 
We were given a closing date for the end of last month. I had dealt with the builder before and knew they were good, but always tried to close ASAP (like any builder). So we informed our client up front that we were probably not going to be able to close until a few weeks into the month, regardless of what the contract said. Sure enough when it came time for walks they were cutting … (4 comments)

realtor: BLOGS! Fun for everyone! How about you? - 11/04/07 03:35 PM
I am new to the blogging world. I have been blogging for a few months now and only about a month on AR. I had never experienced the benefit of it in my work until now. As I am becoming more exposed I am realizing there are so many layers and possibilities to blogging. 
I have noticed that "big time bloggers" syndicate their blogs. I am playing with the idea. I also think their are good things about other blogging sites that I have been checking out. I guess it brings us a few questions.
What are your favorite blogging sites?

realtor: Selling your home over the holidays! - 10/30/07 09:08 AM
Most agents will tell you the Holidays is the time of year when it is the hardest to sell your home. Some people even suggest taking your home off the market if you are not in a must-sell situation. Here are some of my thoughts on "Selling your home over the Holidays".
Why I think you should not list your home over the Holidays  
You have a lot fewer buyers. With less traffic and less interest the market value drops. It is not convenient to always be ready to show at a moment's notice with holiday travel. The offers you receive will … (4 comments)

realtor: Is Christenbury The Place To Be In Chalotte, NC - 10/24/07 05:49 PM
I have seen the development of Christenbury first hand. From breaking ground until the iron gates and massive townhomes. This community has been unbelievable from the beginning. Its hard to imagine 5 years ago having a million dollar neighborhood on the corner of Cox Mill a road primarily used to cut through mall traffic. Now it has become one of the most elite neighborhoods in North East Charlotte and Concord.
Christenbury offers luxury living from townhomes with movie theaters and game rooms, to Simonini Homes with large lots and every upgrade you can imagine. From the moment you drive into the iron … (0 comments)
