Live Love Charlotte

Margaret tells us a great story about the power of blogging. This is truely remarkable and kind of gives you chills if you just sit and think about it. Everyone enjoy your Labor Day weekend.  Most of us measure the success of our blog posts by the number of comments, or how much business they gen...

Our team has been working with a buyer who lives over 1,000 miles away for several months. This week we found out that he is coming in a couple of weeks.   My buyer has only chosen one home to look at when he gets to Charlotte. I made an appointment to preview the house when I found out from the ...

For the last 18 years, the Matthews Alive Festival has been a regular event in the Charlotte area. Since we moved here in 1997, we have been regular attendees. The Matthews Alive event is one of the most family-friendly events in the entire Metro area all year. There is so much to do in such a sm...

I woke up this morning ready to go show potential homes to a buyer that had been on a MLS search for several months. Before I even got out of bed at 6:30 am, she called to tell me that she was really sick and would have to reschedule. Not planning on being awake for another hour I was not in my s...

I was surprised and blessed a couple of weeks back with an Ipad from my incredible husband. As a Mother of 3 and full time agent, I spend most of my time on the road.

Saturday started very sweet. This morning the kids all got up to the smell of my making them waffles. I decided to do something a little different since today was the opening day of Middle School football. I made the 3 musketeer's waffles but I made them a little special. Being that I have a daug...

I was out with a buyer a couple of weeks back and all of a sudden they started screaming. They had already toured the bottom floor of the home and decided that there was just too much work to do given the price so this home was not even a consideration for them. Instead of leaving at that point, ...

This was hilarious. It si sad that some agents still try to list homes this way. WAKE up people, you must LISTEN!I think it is safe to say that actions speak louder than words, and when we look at how most home sellers hire a real estate agent, the words they have been screaming with their action...
