The Park Crossing neighborhood is ideally located near the intersection of Park Road and Johnston Road in South Charlotte. Interstate 485 and Highway 51 (Pineville-Matthews Road) are just behind the community and are waiting to take you anywhere you want to go. The community was developed in the mid 1980's and it still is highly popular due to its meandering, tree lined streets and its location, which is close to schools and shopping. In addition to being close to local public schools, Carolinas Medical Center - Pineville is right around the corner, as well as, every medical specialty in the book. Carolina Place Mall is also within minutes of Park Crossing. The Ballantyne area, Arboretum, and SouthPark can also be reached in a few minutes drive. And, if that's not enough, there are sco...

So you've found your dream home, negotiated a purchase price, and now its time to have inspections.  What now, you ask?  Well, if you have an inspection company that you are familiar with, or one that a friend or family member used in the past, that's your starting point.  If you do not know of any, asking for a recommendation from your Realtor is also another option.  But keep in mind, this is YOUR home that you are inspecting...not your Realtor's. I tell all my buyers up front, "Its not important for me to attend your inspections.  What's important is for YOU to attend YOUR inspections."  Why do I tell them this?  Well, because in the past I thought a "good Realtor" should attend the inspections FOR their clients.  Until one inspection went bad.  The client closed on the house, and fo...

I came from an office meeting today and a light bulb went off in my head. I admit I am just as guilty as probably most agents out there are of this oversight. You have found the home you want and have negotiated and agreed upon acceptable terms with the seller. So,now your agent gives you a list of three or four home inspectors they trust. You do your diligence and talk with them all and select one to do your home inspection.A good home inspector will spend an average of about four hours going through the home. Maybe more or less depending on the size of the home. You get the report from him that evening or the next morning. You look it over and go over it with you agent. You agree on what repairs you want done before you move into the house. The seller agrees and does the necessary rep...

Charlotte NC Real Estate Market Trends from2007 to 2010 have just been released by the Charlotte Regional Realtor Association. Although the Charlotte NC Real Estate market has suffered under the national housing market crisis caused by the mortgage meltdown and recession, home values have not slipped as far as markets in other parts of the country like Florida, Nevada and California. Charlotte, NC remains a great place to live, with an economy that is still attracting corporate headquarters (Electrolux and Husquevarna, to name a fees), a thriving arts and cultural community, temperate climate, and a competitive schools system that continues to outpace national averages.

With the tax credit ending soon, more buyers seem to be out lately in the Charlotte, NC. area looking at homes.  The goal to get a house before the tax credit ends.  But,  what do you do when you find a home you want and you are in a multiple offer situation?   Most importantly do not panic.  Just because there is another offer on the home you want to purchase does not mean you are going to be put in a position that you are paying more for the home than you anticipated.  I ran into this situation the other day.  My buyer had been out looking at homes in  Charlotte.  After a few times out and looking at a dozen or so homes they found the home they wanted to call their first home.  When I called to inform the agent I had an offer to present I was told there is another offer that just came...

Charlotte Home Inspector Preston Sandlin has been inspection homes for 15 years. In his 15 years he has seen just about everything. He has seen aluminum foil used in fuse boxes and he has seen pantyhose used for duct support. Everyone has a top ten list thse days so the Charlotte home inspector thought he would make a presentation with his top ten. Number 1 and Number 2 are termite damage and moisture damage. An important thing to remeber is that termite damage is not covered any many home owners policies. Sit back and enjoy the video. If you have any home inspection questions please go to http://www.askthecharlotteinspector.com or our main website http://www.homeinspectioncarolina.com Preston Sandlin http://www.charlottenchomeinspector.com
