400 plus jobs. About 200 jobs will be hired from the Charlotte market. Average salary will pay over $106,000. On Monday during our Mastermind group everyone related that they had great showings on their listings over the week-end. It was discussed and discovered that the first wave of employees relocating to Charlotte were here over the week-end.
The next wave is to come through Charlotte this coming week-end.
Market report covering the past 6 months for their neighborhood. I included all actives, pendings, solds, withdrawns and expired. I also included those active/due diligence, contingent and conditional. Reviewed feedback from all showings. Reviewed days on market and expiration date on their listing. After doing all of the above I asked for a price reduction.
Stay tumed for the price reductions!
I am finding in this market that the listing … (9 comments)
As you can see there was a great turn-out and all enjoyed. It was held in a builder’s model home so a win-win for all. The builder got to show off this beautiful model home to many realtors last evening.
You can see that I was having a great time and posed with fellow agent Jonathan Osman. Of course we were in the food line.
It was so nice to see everyone decked out and looking their best.

charlotte: First Heavy Frost of The Season in Charlotte, NC
- 11/12/11 10:58 AM
This morning it was white with frost. In fact I did a double take when I looked out the window. It was still dark, but the ground was white. I actually thought it had snowed.
In this picture you can see that the rose bushes still have roses in bloom. I will be busy cutting back all of these gardens, so that they can rest for the winter.
The next big rain will take off the leaves and trees will be bare.
No matter what season, it is always beautiful in Charlotte, NC.
Over the years I have worked with many lenders/loan officers and Melissa Messick is one of the best. From the moment she speaks with a potential buyer she is engaged and interested in providing them with the best service. She is with them from start to finish and even comes to closing.
Many times I have had buyers call her to get advice when the lender they have chosen to use is not … (8 comments)

Years ago I was so lucky to meet the many wonderful directors and volunteers with Blue Ridge Boxer Rescue. I started really slow when I first volunteered with Blue Ridge Boxer Rescue. You may wonder what one can do to assist and volunteer for a local rescue group in your area. You can volunteer your time to attend and assist with fundraisers. You can volunteer to help transport animals. They have to be transported from where they are rescued from to their foster homes or to the vetinarian for appts. You can donate money. You can volunteer to head up a fundraiser. … (11 comments)

Today was a beautiful day in Charlotte. At one point it was about 76 degrees and the sun was out and the sky was blue. Just a yummy day and am so grateful for beautiful fall days like these.
