fayetteville nc: Real Estate Rules of the Buying and Selling Game - 2013
- 04/16/13 03:36 AM
Sunday of this past week I’m sitting drinking my coffee and reading the Sunday paper. I do this every Sunday without fail, for decades. Usually it takes about an hour but this day it took longer because of an article in the Parade magazine about buying and selling homes. The title of the article was “What’s Your Next Move?” by Kate Rockwood. Seems that when I read articles like this it’s either all gloom and doom or overly optimistic about the real estate market. This article was more spot on because of the real truth of real estate being local. Here … (0 comments)

Here is why it’s so important to price your property to sell!

fayetteville nc: New construction foreclosure near Ft Bragg
- 03/01/13 11:38 AM
Today I had a listing presentation with a couple that had made a smart home purchase in a subdivision near Ft Bragg NC in late 2010. It was a new construction foreclosure listed well below market price. Unfortunately, a new neighborhood is being built with more square footage and similar amenities right across the street.
