Two Kinds of Busy

Posted in General Real Estate Market, Iredell County, Lake Norman, Mooresville, Statesville, Troutman, tagged , , , , , , on March 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

People often me if I’m staying busy in my real estate work. I always answer that yes, I’m very busy.  In fact, in real estate work, there are two kinds of busy.  One is being busy trying to find clients to work with, and the other is being busy working for my current buying and selling clients.  Agents [...]

Housing Shortage Coming?

Posted in General Real Estate Market, Real Estate, tagged , , , , , , , on February 16, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Shopping for a Community on the Internet

Posted in Iredell County, Lake Norman, Mooresville, Quality of Life, Real Estate, Statesville, Troutman, tagged , , , , , on November 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

I recently spent a pleasant fall afternoon showing homes to a couple from out-of-state who are looking to move now that they are empty nesters.  They said that they are in the market for a home in or near a relatively small community that has easy access to the amenities of a larger city.  They also [...]

Buying Property and Surveys

Posted in General Real Estate Market, Real Estate, tagged , , , , , , , on November 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Each time I help a client purchase a piece of real estate, I always advise them to get a survey.  Of course, no one likes to pay any more than they have to in fees leading up to a purchase, and surveys for the typical residential lot can cost several hundred dollars.  Also, it has to [...]

I recently talked with some friends about things that they should consider doing to their home in anticipation of putting it on the market.  I went over and looked at the house, and a nice house it is.  The problem is that it is in a neighborhood with lots of other nice houses that are [...]

Posted in Quality of Life, tagged , , , , , , , on November 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »

Being related to a bunch of public school teachers, and being friends with many more, I know that a large amount of time is required for the teachers to report lots of data about their students’ performance.  All of that comes into play in providing “report cards” for the state, our school districts, and individual schools.  [...]
