Seems like lately, everyone I talk to asks the same thing, “How’s the market doing?” Of course, they’re thinking about the market in terms of their own location and home. So, even though the question can be sliced and diced many ways, I give them a broad overall answer that comes from data like that [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

At a meeting today of the Iredell Developers’ Council, I gave a quick summary of what’s going on in real estate in our Carolina Multiple Listing Service area which includes Mecklenburg County and all the surrounding counties including Iredell.

Is There Such a Thing as a Deeded Boat Slip?
Posted in Lake Norman, Real Estate, tagged boat slips, deeded boat slips, Lake Norman Real Estate on September 18, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
My recent discussion with one of my preferred real estate attorneys about deeded boat slips clarified some misconceptions we may have about these.
