This is the best place in Charlotte, NC to watch a Carolina Panthers football game...unless you actually get to go to the game.  It's the "Garage-Ma-Hal,"  Bill and Cindy Buchanan's garage-turned-Panther locale and memorabilia haven.  5 TVs, 3 recliners, 2 wet bars, and every square inch COVERED with Panther memorabilia.  NOW...if we ONLY had a team that was going to the playoffs.  Oh well...I'm still a big fan!

Yes, it's possible in this day and time to sell your listings fast.  And here's just one example of a vacant home that languished with no sale for many months.  Staged with my furniture and accessories, under contract within 2 weeks, and now waiting to close.  I have seen great success with home staging this year and my average time on market after staging is:  Under contract within 2 to 6 weeks!  I work throughout North and South Carolina with home prices ranging from $100,000 to over $2 million.  Staging works for all price ranges!

In most of the U.S. the real estate market is a buyer's market. A few years ago, home owners did not have to do much to sell their home. Sometimes a few repairs of upgrades would be negotiated, but overall you could pretty much sell your home "as is". That has changed drastically. More and more sellers are finding they need to do some home improvements BEFORE they can sell their home. Appraisers have given a few tips to help home owners make their home stand out from the rest. The biggest thing you can do is paint the walls and replace the carpets! Give your home a mini facelift so to speak. The new flooring and fresh paint will give your home more of a new feel. The old adage remains true when it comes to the color palette; go neutral. If you aren't sure how neutral to go, you can alwa...

It's my ANNIVERSARY!!!  Well not my first year, but my second year of selling real estate!  I am doggone PROUD!!!! I signed on with Coldwell Banker United, Realtors in Charlotte, NC in November of 2007.  The first year seems like a blur as I was baptized by fire, and realized that hardly anything I learned in my pre-licensing course would help me list a house for sale or represent a buyer, or prepare a decent CMA, or FIND business!  I could write a book called "All I Ever Really Need to Know About Selling Real Estate, I learned on Active Rain!"  Oh wait, Fulghum already came up with that idea! My second year was the year the market tanked, Charlotte real estate property values declined, buyers had a hard time qualifying for mortgages, homes didn't appraise, sellers still thought their h...

I suppose this is true in most industries. There is a pulse. It is either in activity or inactivity, and the first ones to feel it, are on the ground level. The phones stop ringing (or start ringing). A small shuffle starts taking place (or not). The Internet requests are up, down or non-existant. I am on the ground level of Charlotte real estate.  I sell it, I help people buy it. In May of 2007, our 800 capture numbers dropped by 60%. I gasped, we all did. Charlotte finally was joining the rest of the U.S. housing market and got  nailed. Sales spiraled. Again, we gasped; we warned our sellers, sell now, drop the price....mmmm....too few listened. And then they sat, and sat, and sat. And now they have reduced, and reduced and reduced. Some have sold at great losses. SOOO......about six ...

In Charlotte, they have everything...including old people...some even as old as me. Who knew ? So if you are over 50 and are still looking for the fountain of youth...Look no further. Call Charlotte, Viagraville with a twist. Charlotte has a youthful attitude. Race cars, Pro basketball, NFL Football, and urban skyscraper growth, allows Charlotte to shine with tall buildings and Mansions popping up everywhere. Let the recession go elsewhere. We don't need it here. Old Ponce de Leon  in Florida  was only a couple five hundred miles off. If only he had taken I-95 from Florida to I-26 and Jumped on I-77, He would have found the fountain here in Charlotte. Obviously He could have saved himself a whole lot of trouble. Fine arts, museums galore, spectacular orchestra music, artisans, and smile...

I have edited this and would love a lot of clicks on it, but besides that, the darn thing hesitates every so often. I have seen this happen with other videos, but would love to know the easy fix on it! This video is a rolling view through some of our neighborhoods...with a few cows thrown in for grins...people view Charlotte as a the Mother to Mayberry...yes, Andy's Mayberry....would love comments and assistance on my "little issue" here! Thank you so much in advance!

Is Bank of America Leaving Charlotte? My personal feeling is that BOA isn’t going anywhere!  Does it really matter where the CEO lives?  In this day and time, with all of our technological advances and the increasing ability to do our jobs from the office, our homes or the beach and the video conferencing capabilities that we so often use, I can't imagine why this topic has gotten Charlotte residents so up in arms over the location of the new CEO of Bank of America.   Bank of America owns far too much real estate here in Charlotte that to sell it and purchase FAR more expensive real estate in NY in this market is, in my opinion, simply ludicrous!  And, to whom are they going to sell?!   Another consideration is the cost of relocating their personnel to NY .  Imagine the taxes that they'...

Thursday's Charlotte Observer's headline story declared "Charlotte Home Sales Rebound," a boost of good news just when the Charlotte real estate market needed it most!  The article provides statistics from the Charlotte Regional Realtor Association, illustrating that sales of single family homes, townhouses and condos were up by 19.6% from sales a year ago in October, 2008.  This is the first gain in home sales in the Charlotte Region since February, 2007, when Charlotte, NC began to feel the fallout from the national housing crisis, according to CRRA. Factors involved in this sales boost, according to CRRA in the Observer article, are the first-time homebuyer tax credit that was initially set to expire on November 1, decreases in asking prices, low interest rates, and pent up buyer dem...

There are many people in the Charlotte area who are considering selling their home. Trying to decide if the time is right has become the name of the game in real estate. While Charlotte home prices were at an all time low recently, things are turning around. Home prices are starting to go up and the extension and expansion of the Home Buyers Tax Credit mean more people will be looking to purchase a home in the greater Charlotte area. This is good news for those who are ready to list their home! First Time Home Buyer The extension on the Home Buyer tax credits has opened up more doors of opportunity for sellers. Not only is there a tax credit for first time home buyers, some current home owners will qualify for a credit as well under the expansion. For first time buyers much of the crite...
