Lake Norman Real Estate:One of the Best Waterfront Lots on all of Lake Norman!
This home sits on one of the most beautiful lots you can find on Lake Norman. I currently have an agreement with these clients to market this property for sale, although it has not officially been listed in our MLS.
I do currently represent this seller and we are open to offers.
Currently the asking price is 1.4 million and is worth every penny. This home is a Professional Designers Own Home and the attention to detail speaks for itself. Brand new Pella Windows have been installed throughout most of the home and the views of the lake are breathtaking.
Newly Renovated starter home in Mooresville NC. 154 Chere Helen Drive in the Tall Oaks subdivision is a quiet neighborhood with access to shopping, restaurants,great schools and more.
I recently met a lady watching football at a sports bar in Mooresville NC. She is a very dynamic indivudual that at approx 63 years old and has the energy of a 20 year old. Ironically she is a business and life coach that has published numerous books.
In one of her books entitled Winning, How Winners Think - What Champions Do by Edie Raether, I have found a lot of good information to share with my agents. Some of this information has been written many times in many different ways but for some reason her writing is the one that has inspired me.
This information is especially true in this day and time.
Create a plan - People don't plan to fail; they fail to plan!!!
Hang in there - Persist and persevere until you get what you want.
Optimist Creed. (partial list)
Promise Yourself -
To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
To think only the best, to work only for the best, to expect only the best.
To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
To give as much to the improvement of yourself that you no time to criticize others.
Everyone have a great week! Do something everyday that takes you closer towards your goals! If you are an agent in the Lake Norman area and are looking for a positive environment, visit http://whyrealliving.wordpress.com/
Lastly, There is no whining in baseball and real estate!
Being a native of North Carolina, I have seen Wachovia grow from a hometown bank in Winston Salem North Carolina to a huge force in the banking industry. Having growing up in Winston Salem, many of my friends parents worked for Wachovia all their lives.
This is a sad day for those of us that remember...
Your Lake Norman Agent Summarizes His Research on the Current Credit Crisis
With the news being dominated by bailout talks and solving the current credit problems, I decided I wanted to learn as much as I could about what got us here. After all understanding the cause surely can help prevent it from happening again.
This is not a political statement. Each person has to vote his/her conscience and gather as much information as they can to make an informed decision. From what I have learned, these problems are not tied to one party.
Here is a snypoisis:
In 1999 Congress and the President gave Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae the freedom to do risk based lending which also gave them the freedom to allow much riskier loans.
In 2000, The Federal Reserve began lowering interest rates to historic rates.
In 2004, Congress reduced the regulation on lending institutions allowing them to reduce the amount required to be aside to cover the loans. The max amount of this reserve was 3 cents on the dollar!!! (think about that one...)
Obviously there is more to it than just these points but you can see how this could lead to trouble. Who in their right mind would take on that kind of risk? I think, you and I, playing with our own money, would never do this.
Lastly, there is a huge debate about the 700 billion bailout. Some agree and some don't. I am one that has come to the conclusion that it is necessary. I own a real estate company. I love this industry. I really enjoy helping people save money on real estate and I want to see my company and my clients succeed. I have a 19 year old daughter that I want to have every opportunity to succeed. I believe that this bailout will free up the banks to lend money again.
Here is what I hear the experts saying. You hear Congress arguing as usual. While the biggest argument is how we are going to pay the 700 billion back, no one is offering another solution. We could let the chips fall where they may. However, more jobs will be lost, companies will close, lending will get even tighter at all levels... There is not another solution at this point.
Also, the 700 billion is being used to buy real assets. We are not going to have to pay back the entire amount.
The question should be how are we going to fix this going forward. I believe we should be angry at those that proposed all the deregulation and those that voted for the some of these stupid rules changes. It just does not make good common sense.
Here is a bit of good news:
The recently passed housing stimulus is very attractive for buyers. The $7500.00 tax credit is significant.
There are still great loan programs for those that can qualify
It is a fantastic market for finding a great home at a great price. This is one of the best buyers markets in our history!
I have to laugh when I think back about the goals my partners and I set when we started our Real Living Franchise at the start of 2007. We had set lofty goals based on the belief that with a great company like Real Living, Inc, great tools and my personal belief that if you treat people like you want to be treated, they will come in droves.
While my belief system is the same and my excitement and goals have not wavered, we have reworked our timetable. Real living is Still a great company with tremendous support. Our President sends out encouragement to all our agents periodically and it trickles down to everyone.
I love working with agents and a company that respect each other and get along when times get a little tough. I also love a company that is not afraid to think outside the box. The sharing of ideas is something we all enjoy and encourage each other to do. Ask my agents, I send out ideas and encouragement on a weekly basis. It is a part of this journey I love.
If you're thinking of a real estate career or just a change, you should consider Real Living. It is the most unique and supportive Real Estate company I have worked with. Check out http://whyrealliving.wordpress.com/ to get more information about us. Some of the info is particular for my office but you will 'get it' when you look at everything
As the line from the old 70's DISCO SONG ' I will survive' states, those of us that keep our heads up, 'think outside the box' and keep going, will thrive!
As our Brand states, We are RED, ROUND and RELEVANT!
I just read a post by one of our Real Living Broker Owners and I have to share it. It is entitled Run Forest Run.
I am a firm believer that you have to surround yourself with positive people and influences. One of my weekly goals is to send positive notes to all our agents. We are in this together!
If you are surrounded by people walking around complaining and hanging their heads, give a Real Living office a call.
