Where can you eat a 2lb Loaded Potato for Lunch in Lake Norman? and free wi-fi - 01/27/09 08:28 PM
I know it's Fattening!
But it's soooooo good! I eat it about 2 times a month. I have to eat half at lunch and the other half at dinner or the next day. But yes, after a good workout, I have eaten the WHOLE thing!
McAlister's Deli of Cornelius has this 2lb SpudMax potato and I just ate one today for lunch and dinner. It has ham, turkey, cheeses, onions, black olives, "lite" sour cream (ha), butter, and BACON. How about that for an artery clogger?
But it's soooooo good! It's an occasional treat. It's about $7, but I figure that … (3 comments)

This animal hospital in Lake Norman saved my dog's life! - 01/27/09 08:16 PM
East Lincoln Animal Hospital- This animal hospital saved Hannah's life. When I found out that she had developed an allergy to "plaque" on her teeth and gums, and it was killing her, I scoured the internet looking for someone/some place that had tackled this problem before. This place is the BEST vet I have ever been too and this is my story.
I didn't want to trust anyone with my dog's life. I had already spent over $1500 with another vet on antibiotics, and removing teeth. My dog had 14 teeth removed already and she was in pain and her … (0 comments)

Most of my clients have had some type of real estate experience. Period. This has made things fairly easy for me in that I can skip certain steps in the process, such as; finding them a lender, explaining new construction, etc. However, I picked up a new buyer yesterday.
This new buyer has never owned a home, has not left home, has never looked at loans and knows absolutely nothing about them, is interested in building but cannot decipher floor plans, and is an all around newbie to the real estate world. What makes this even better … (0 comments)

Tips for Real Estate Sellers in 2009: - 01/27/09 05:25 PM
Via Mirela Monte, Your Myrtle Beach Connection:
It doesn't matter what you need. What matters is what the market commands. If you need to sell your property for $250,000 and the current comps for similar properties indicate a value of $168,000, you need to price yours at $165,000. It doesn't matter if your home is the nicest one in the development. If it is and you price it correctly, it will sell the fastest.
Pricing has everything to do with selling. That's usually the case. That's true now more than ever.

This is one of the most amazing blogs about our real estate market and the future of real estate I have ever read!
Via Jeff Corbett (ActiveRain):
So, I've been running my mouth about this word called ::Transparency:: for a few years now. When you wax philosophic on a topic for so long, watching it manifest in the main stream elicits redemptive emotions.
What is Transparency? The word has a far reaching and fascinating taxonomy depending on what the corresponding topic is. Generally, its a noun that suggests that the given topic can be seen and understood clearly with little left to the … (1 comments)

Photography Tips for Real Estate Agents and Sellers tips for Clutter - 01/12/09 09:28 PM
Great Tips for Sellers to put their Stuff AWAY!
Via Debra Gould, The Staging Diva (Six Elements Inc.):
According to a 2008 real estate trends report, more than 80% of all home buyers start their property search on the Internet. After narrowing down the tens of thousands of possibilities based on price range, location and number of rooms, the next thing prospective buyers look at are the photos. First impressions are especially important in a slow real estate market, so real estate agents are more concerned than ever before that their listings’ photos stand out and attract showings.

Just not backed by Fannie or Freddie Rates Above $417,001 are higher than below. FHA limits remained mostly unchanged, but each county is different, so you need to check locally.

Pic of the Day - Snoop Dog Rides on the Jet Ski - Lake Norman - 01/09/09 10:14 PM
Funny Dogs. This dog loves her owner very very much! So much, she will pretty much do anything for him.
This is snoop dogg and her owner, John. They are riding the Kawasaki standup together. Now, if you knew how hard it was to even get up and keep up a stand up jet ski, then you would appreciate this move!
They are riding on Lake Norman near a place called the "hot hole". It's nicknamed that because the water coming out of the nuclear plant is nice and hot and swimming here is really good.
