greensboro: Irving Park Luxury neighborhood meets rock solid value in Greensboro, North Carolina. - 11/06/08 10:46 AM

Welcome to Greensboro Country Club the at the center of Irving Park. These pictures show just a small part of the golf course that runs through the heart of Irving Park. Just minutes from downtown Greensboro Irving Park has and is the premier neighborhood in the area. A mixture of small estates, magnificent homes, and even some modest smaller homes.

I just love the colors this fall on the golf course. The homes here range anywhere from approximately seven million to as low as five hundred thousand.

greensboro: Why has your Home NOT Sold Yet? In Greensboro, NC they are still moving. - 11/03/08 02:28 PM

OK so they are not all selling but my listings are. The magic number seems to be around seventy days. I will admit I do have one listing that has gotten up to seventy seven days. Although I admit that the oldest one has just gone under contract. I am just sorry it took me all weekend to negotiate the deal. Of course long distance negotiations take a little longer. But with deals like four days from list to contract and selling pocket listings before they are even listed does help keep my average under 30 DAYS.
I know if you … (2 comments)

greensboro: Your "Relocation Realtor" in Greensboro, NC "I Understand" - 10/28/08 11:52 PM

RELOCATION REALTOR HERE!
As a Realtor that handles relocation clients in Greensboro, North Carolina it is important that my clients know that "I understand" what they are going through. My time in "Corporate America" had me enduring the same trials and tribulations that many relocated employees go through. I can remember being called with an "opportunity" (I always use to cringe at that word). That was a chance for advancement but, it also meant being at work across the state or in another state that week. Then living out of a hotel room as the family and movers caught up with … (0 comments)

greensboro: Greensboro, North Carolina turning the corner on the Economy? - 10/24/08 02:55 PM

The Triad Business Journal just released some very interesting figures.

The rate has dropped slightly from 7.1 in August to 6.8 in September. Now while this in and by itself is not a tremendous bit of news according to RealtyTrac Inc. the number of foreclosures fell almost 27% in September compared to last year at this time. Funny the MEDIA has been predicting it will get worst before it … (0 comments)

greensboro: The Kirkwood Neighborhood in Greensboro, NC an old fashioned close knit community - 07/16/08 02:36 AM

The Kirkwood neighborhood is one of the older established communities within the metro area of Greensboro. On quiet streets these adorable little homes thrive with young families and older residents that take care of their area with pride. The residents walk their children and their pets through the quiet streets and stop and talk with their neighbors just like neighborhoods use to be. Recently Walgreens decided to try and put one of their twenty-four hour stores on the outside corner of this thriving neighborhood by way of slipping in because of the cities future use plan for the corridor along Lawndale … (0 comments)

greensboro: Irving Park in Greensboro, NC Where your biggest investment should be your safest. - 07/14/08 07:47 AM

I live and work in Irving Park here in Greensboro, North Carolina and truly love the feeling and serenity of a well established solid neighborhood. A peaceful setting nestled around the Greensboro Country Club just minutes from everything. This is a place where we all walk our dogs, go running, walking, or biking on all then slow paced wide streets and greenways with fantastic homes all around.
When most everyone else has seen some drop in home values we have escaped the turmoil that seems rampant in most major metropolitan areas. The homes here in Old Irving Park are mostly older … (0 comments)

greensboro: See Greensboro's Passionate side. - 07/10/08 02:48 PM

To show a passionate side of Greensboro there are many places to look. One that I know of personally and am involved with is the Greyhound Friends of North Carolina. We have satellite facilities across the state but, our main kennel is right outside Greensboro in the wonderful suburb of Oak Ridge. We can house up to forty of these "gentle giants". I personally have four of these wonderfully gentle creatures. As you can see here Dusty my first hound loves playing with my youngest.

These hounds are amazingly loving even after what some of them have … (2 comments)

greensboro: Greensboro, North Carolina Guilford County Real Estate Statistics - 07/07/08 01:49 AM

The June 2008 statistics on Guilford County continue to show a steady market that remains to be a buyers market.  Although the ratio of new homes listed versus the combinations of pendings and closings is starting to close the gap. This will eventually bring the inventory levels down as buyers continue to find those deals and move forward to buy.

greensboro: Can some Builders ruin it for the rest?!?! - 06/13/08 02:19 AM

SOME DEVELOPERS RUINING IT FOR ALL??
I have noticed that we have had a tightening of the belt by some of the lenders in our fair city towards the builders. Now with some of the recent happenings does this mean they have caught on to the practices of a very few but, now the whole group will be punished? Most builders will create separate LLC's for every development. While this is a common and smart business practice to limit liability other developers seem to use it as a shell game. You know the rob Peter to pay Paul sort of financial … (8 comments)
