Naked Paneling Is Not A Turn On for Home Buyers - 07/28/11 03:39 PM
 
If you have paneling in your home you may be tempted to leave it naked so it can show off all its glory to home buyers coming to view your Charlotte NC home for sale.
Don't do it!!!!

If you have paneling in your Charlotte NC home, you don't have to replace it and you may enjoy the view of naked paneling but home buyers … (13 comments)

Wells Fargo Signs in Charlotte NC - 07/20/11 02:59 PM
Nearly 3 years later, Wells Fargo signs have arrived at Wachovia locations in the Charlotte NC area. 
Ok,  so they're still technically covered by temporary Wachovia labels but it's not hard to see the actual signs under the label.

Home On The Market for Over 1500 Days!!! - 07/18/11 04:25 PM
There is a house that has spent more than 15 HUNDRED days on the market in Charlotte NC over the past four years or so.  And I'm sure it's not the only example.
I'm exhausted just thinking about that.  Several different local Charlotte NC real estate agents and firms (because clearly they must be the problem) later and you've spent almost all of that time on the market, never under contract, never any closer to actually selling.  Aren't you tired???

Your Charlotte NC Home's Been On The Market For A Month With NO Showings? Something's Wrong.... - 07/11/11 06:18 PM
If your Charlotte NC home has been on the market for (almost) a month with NO showings, there's definitely something wrong.
In some cases it's actually really simple to figure out the problem.  It's not lack of buyers, not the time of year, not even your pricing.
The problem?  Oh yeah, you won't allow showings yet, they're "coming soon"...along with photos apparently.
You (and your house) aren't ready for the market so it baffles me why you're even on the market. Well I guess technically the house is listed but with no photos and no showings allowed that's debatable too.  I … (7 comments)

Simple Fix for a Slow Draining Sink - 07/06/11 10:31 AM
If your kitchen or bathroom sinks ever drain slowly, try this quick and simple fix using items you probably already have around the house - white vinegar and baking soda!
Take baking soda and dump it into the drain, there's not really a precise measurement but be liberal with it!
Pour at least 1/2 or 1 cup of vinegar into the drain.
Let it sit (it'll foam and start to bubble as soon as you add the vinegar).  I've heard some people recommend covering it with a cloth while it sits but I've done this successfully without that.
After 15 to 30 … (8 comments)

Nutella Cheesecake Bars - Simply Amazing Dessert!!! - 07/05/11 04:01 PM

The flavors aren't overpowering and blend together just beautifully.  It's easy to prepare and put together, either using a food processor or mixing by hand (which I did), and crushing the graham crackers in a plastic bag with a rolling pin.
It does take a little planning ahead so you can make sure the cream cheese is room temperature before … (12 comments)
