nc: Downtown Durham, NC? Nothing To See Here. Move Along.
- 02/12/10 10:07 PM
If you were born and raised in Eastern North Carolina, as I was, you know how we got our economic start. We were a cotton and tobacco economy, pure and simple. As the child of a cotton merchant I dove off many a cotton bale into loose samples of cotton piled high in a warehouse. I know the smell of cured tobacco in an auction warehouse before it was moved to the cigarette factory. Durham meant tobacco. Block after block of red brick warehouses and plants, the first of which was built in 1874. The huge arched windows and smoke stacks … (7 comments)

My colleague, Michael Thornton of Brentwood, TN has written a fantastic article about things to consider when hiring a ductwork cleaner which I would like to share with you. Very good information!

nc: Where Do I Start? Help For North Carolina Home Owners Facing Foreclosure
- 05/21/09 04:24 AM
If you live in North Carolina and you are facing difficulty making your mortgage payment or you anticipate a problem paying it in the near future, the fear of the loss of your home and all the horror stories you have heard about the struggle to save your biggest asset from foreclosure weigh heavily on you and your family. Or you may have just received a letter from the State of North Carolina, Office of the Commissioner of Banks advising that you may be nearing foreclosure. The time to act is now and the place to start is FightNCForeclosure.org.
"I have over 100,000 hours of real life NC real estate experience and I am not afraid to use it to help my buyers and sellers successfully achieve their goals!"
Malcolm Gladwell’s book OUTLIERS, says "10,000 hours of practice is required to achieve the level of mastery associated with being a world-class expert – in anything." SarahGray Lamm exceeds that 10 times over!
