When I first moved to Midwood near Charlotte's uptown, I fell in love with all the unique bungalows.  Lining the side walked streets behind the giant oaks and pecans,  each one had it's own personality and no two were the same.  Except - they all had just one bath.  When most of these homes were built in the 1930's and 40's, just having indoor plumbing was a huge selling point!  But today everyone is looking for two full baths.   For those buyers looking at spending under $300,000 that is still a bit of a tall order in Midwood.  Up until now it has just been a compromise you had to make to live in this hip and happening hood.   Well not any more!  For everyone who is looking for at least 2 baths in Charlotte's Midwood neighborhood priced under $300,000 - your search is over.  The Drakef...

  I am in the throws of saving a home before foreclosure, and believe it or not, the closing attorney did not have any of the numbers listed below. It may be a good list to share with your office, your attorney's and of course, your seller's that are on the edge. Loss Mitigation Department Telephone Numbers.... Ameriquest 800-211-6926 BOA   716-635-2982 Chase 1-800-446-8939-3553 CitiMortgage 636-256-5088 CountryWide 888-435-3102 GMAC 800-850-4622 US Bank 888-780-3997 Wells Fargo 866-261-5642   The suggestion is to always try and talk with the same person...good luck with that! These numbers are also good for collections, as they can guide you down the path to that number. A sign of the times!

"Yes, I would like some cheese with this whine.  Thanks."  (Brett Furniss, Charlotte Property Manager and author of Charlotte Property Management Weekly) "President Obama has declared the swine flu outbreak a national emergency..."  (Charlotte Observer, 10/25/09) Swine flu is now officially both a national emergency and a pandemic!  I'm not entirely sure what that means, but it sounds pretty bad and pretty official.  I imagine the only party happy about this is the pigs, who take an undeserved public relations hit, but see the demand for its flesh fall among the cautious populous (making its mortality rates decline significantly).  If only the scheming cows from the Chick Filet commercials had thought of this, they could have saved themselves millions in dollars of advertising (with be...

Charlotte NC At a Glance Incorporated in 1768 and named for the wife of King George III, Charlotte has consistently redeveloped herself, growing into the largest city in North Carolina.  The Queen City, as she is nicknamed, has gone from being an agrarian township to a gold town, textile center to a national banking giant. Presently, Charlotte is the second largest banking center in the United States of America second only to New York City.   Visitors to the city are treated to historical attractions as well as a varied and vast range of events and recreational activities.  Charlotte NC is ideally located to take in the wonders of the state, as it is only a three-hour drive from the Atlantic beaches and only two hours from the Blue Ridge Mountains.  We enjoy four seasons, which lends to...

If you’re a homebuyer and you’re “on deck” you may want to get ready to step-up to the plate! CNBC’s Diana Olick reports today “Home Buyer Tax Credit: Final Deal?” that Congress may be close to extending the popular First Time HomeBuyer Tax Credit program! Good news, but there’s even better news – the revised plan may allow for “step-up” buyers to benefit. That’s right they are finally considering doing for the middle market homebuyers what they’ve done for the lower end / first time buyer! In fact there is some early buzz that a “step-up” homebuyer tax credit would apply on homes up to $800,000! We’ll believe that when we see it, right! But I am optimistic that some help is coming for that stagnant $300K-$500K part of the market and well it should. First time homebuyers are most often...

  Elizabeth is not the only haunted area in Charlotte NC...not to be outdone, the Historic Fourth Ward will be offering Haunted Carriage Rides both October 30 and 31... Expect to be spooked while trotting through Fourth Ward and a few other exceptional haunts during the evening hours from 6:00-11:00. Beware of the stranger sitting next to you, as stories of paranormal activity, public executions, the uptown morgue and ghost hunter tales are delivered to your frightened mind. The horror begins at Charlotte's center square...Trade and Tryon. This is no shabby tour, it includes several of Charlotte's oldest, grandest, haunted homes along with a few historical sites, including Old Fire Station #4 (now a fire museum), Alexander Michael's (now a restaurant)  and old St. Peter's Hospital (now ...
