How to Make a Great offer on a house in North Carolina when you're in still a seller's market - June 2022Making a great offer in a seller's marketPrice - Price is the first thing sellers want to know. For some home sellers, this is everything.  You'll need a pre-approval letter or proof of funds if you're paying cash. To be honest, mortgage money is just as green as cash. And, people getting a mortgage are less likely to walk away from a deal than someone paying cash.Due Diligence - This is specific to North Carolina. It is the non-refundable fee buyers pay up front to secure their offer. It is negotiable and can be any amount. Of course, it has to be acceptable to the seller or the offer will not get accepted. Over the years we've seen anything from zero dollars to the full purchase pr... 07/01/2022

With the introduction of the American Eagle Gold metal coins in 1986, gold coins ... 07/01/2022

It seems that people need a laugh – especially on Friday. So, we dig back in to classic comedy scenes from a much better age of television.

Owning a home is going to be one of the largest if not the largest investment that you will make during your lifetime. The home should be viewed as an investment that you want to maintain the value and get the best return possible. Some homeowners choose to  allow their home to go into disarray and then fix it up before selling.  No matter what you choose to do as the current homeowner, you do not want your home to be viewed as a fixer-upper as this will not garner large initial offers from buyers. Finding the right offer can lead a homeowner to sell as they could not have imagined such a high offer. Cash offers and bidding wars can allow you to profit the most off of your investment. Below are tips to ensure your home is ready to list at any point in time without too much work being do... 07/01/2022

In place of face-to-face contact, use platforms like Zoom, Skype, Facebook Live, FaceTime. Keep the focus on customers—your source of success. Develop your empathy and  listening skills. The better you understand clients’ needs and dreams, the better you’ll be able to meet them and the more successful you’ll be.  07/01/2022

Sandpoint Realty 'Friday Flag' this week shows off one of the long time original businesses of Sandpoint Idaho.  Melody Muffler.My first time stepping into Melody Muffler I was questioning whether my mechanic had sent there in earnest, or was just trying to get me out of his shop so he did not need deal with the muffler problem.  Screws, bolts, in small boxes, unlabeled, in no apparent order.  Scrap metal everywhere, leaning up against walls.   Yet after looking at my vehicle Mike walked directly inside, to a certain wall, pulled out a certain flange, from one of those unlabeled boxes, looked at it closely and set it on a semi cluttered work bench.  Told me he would give me a call when done.  True to his word in a couple of hours he called explaining the salt had rusted out the stock pi... 07/01/2022
