According to a developer quoted in the Mooresville Tribune last week, Troutman will be getting a Wal-Mart store at Exit 42. It has been rumored for several years that Wal-Mart planned to build a store somewhere in the Troutman vicinity, but this is the first solid indication that I know of. The developer says it [...]

Yea! Just came from another successful real estate closing for my clients, the Lewises. Yes, there is real estate business being done out there. They got a great deal at 5% interest. Never thought I’d see rates that low. Congratulations, Joshua and Megan.

I was working as the “Duty Agent” one afternoon this week at our CENTURY 21 Hecht Realty office (the duty agent takes incoming calls or walk-ins from people asking about buying or selling real estate) and allowed one of the brand new agents to shadow me to learn how we work with such calls. I got [...]

My wife, Susan, asked me why I keep referring to her as “my bride” in these posts. I told her that if I refer to her as just Susan, some folks won’t know who I was writing about. I also said that many years ago there was a columnist for The Charlotte Observer named Kayes [...]

Troutman Library is Bookin’

Last night, I went to a meeting of the Citizens for a Troutman Library. A group of us have been meeting every month for several years working toward raising funds to build a local library. I’m pleased to say that we can anticipate breaking ground in the very near future. The group has raised around $700,000, most [...]
Remodeling vs. Value

My bride and I have been in our Mooresville home for almost 19 years. That’s the longest we’ve ever stayed in one place. We’ve enjoyed our home and neighborhood and intend to stay there for the duration. However, a downside of staying in one place is that eventually, things wear out and need repair or [...]
The Value of Collaboration
Posted in Iredell County, Quality of Life, Real Estate, tagged collaboration, housing on January 10, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
One of my “problems” has always been that I just don’t enjoy competition that much. Oh, I compete with myself all the time to improve my personal best in any number of ways. But my own personal competition with the goal of beating a competitor or rival generally doesn’t do it for me- although I will say, [...]

The most recent monthly Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller Home Price Index was published on December 30 and shows an index of house prices month-to-month. It lags a couple of months, so this time we got the October, 2008 numbers. It is broken down by major metropolitan areas that include the Charlotte area. It showed a drop [...]
