Buying an investment home used to be a "normal" call I would receive several times a week.  I've noticed lately that no one is calling with that request anymore.  Hmmm...could it be that the first time home buyers snatched up all the inexpensive homes in the Wake County, NC                       ...

Earlier in the week there was big news that I posted about with the emergence of Twitter posting into Google Searches. I've been overwhelmed by the questions and concerns of some folks on how to use and maximize Twitter to it's fullest potential. I'll be honest, I am in NO WAY an expert and I str...

I'd have to agree with most of these "rules". I have one VERY important rule to add to this list. 11. Thou shalt not buy a home behind your Realtors back and THEN ask them to help you.  The Realtor needs to be involved at all time including the contract...some people amaze me!  No amount of educa...
