- 03/02/10 07:10 AM
Wow, today was awesome! I got to get out with some really great buyers that are full of vision and passion for historic homes! We visited historic homes in Louisburg NC and then a few historic homes in Franklinton NC - they were all beautiful in their own way.
Some were renovated with very little work being done and others were mere shells that would take the new owners patience and perserverance to complete.
The last house on the tour today was in Franklinton NC and this is what we found in the lockbox.
It's been a VERY long time … (31 comments)

leesa finley: Small Spaces only Look Smaller When Empty - Have You Thought of Staging in Wake Forest NC?
- 01/21/10 01:05 AM

My almost instant answer is YES! While there are some incredible sellers out there that just "have an eye" for their own space and highlight the properties features outstandingly well there are others that just don't. While we may be speaking of occupied homes what about the vacant homes? Staging does transform the occupied home into a more inviting space what staging does for VACANT homes is astounding! … (10 comments)

In the past, recent Sales could go back 6-12 months to justify a price. Today? Not so. Lenders are now requiring (in most cases) Sold homes used in a Market Analysis to be no more than 90 days.
