It's like taking a used car to your mechanic before you buy the car! Someone is going to buy that house but its not going to be my client!  I am so glad I know a little bit about the mechanics of a home and my clients are too.  Way before I became a Realtor I worked with my husband at his Construction business and his Home Inspection business here in Franklin, NC.  I was the one shaking the toilets to see if they were loose, running all the appliances, and checking the polarity on every electrical outlet in the home.   I watched, listened and learned from one of the best teachers that I could ever ask for.  When ever Joe would point out a potential problem with a home he would also explain what was wrong, why, the way it should have been done and what could be done to fix it.  I used to... 03/22/2011

All Foreclosures are NOT a good buy! Have an agent & attorney on your side that is knowledgeable. Think you know what you are doing when your buying foreclosures?  Not all are defective free or not have some hidden problem!  Just a friendly warning of a few things that could happen to you if you don't hire the right people who are knowledgeable and on your side.  It's a MUST with my clients to have a Home Inspection even if the bank states they are not fixing anything.  This way you will know what needs immediate attention and what can be done at a later date. Just because the MLS sheet says it has a feature doesn't mean it does.  Here in Franklin, NC one foreclosure inspections revealed the home never had a Heat Pump in the home but the MLS sheet said it did.  Now are you willing to ha... 03/20/2011

Spring is peaking its pretty head in Franklin, NC but I don't think winter is over. I think we have all had a rough winter this year but does Mother Nature agree?  Lots of snow and cold days here this 2010/2011 winter in Franklin, NC.  The worst one in the 18 years I have lived here.  Yesterday was a bit cloudy but the warmer breeze made it a good day and 64 degrees feels good to me.  A good day compared to a few feet of snow or the wind blowing with 20 degree temperatures.   I don't know if this means anything but I see more squirrel's running about and the deer have moved to a different location because hunting season is over.  Daffodil's are popping up their green bunches in sunny areas and the ground is not frozen anymore.  Makes me want to go work out in the yard and plant flowers.... 02/19/2011

Selling homes in Franklin, NC Yes, I am selling homes and land in Franklin, NC!  There are some awesome deals on homes and land in Franklin, NC and they certainly DO NOT HAVE TO BE A FORECLOSURE TO BE A GOOD DEAL!  We do have those too but Banks are not messing around when they get an offer.   I think the REAL sellers are realizing that they have to come down to where the market really is to sell and they are doing it. If you are not serious then don't waste your time or a agent time listing. Let me take that back, a good agent can't afford to waste their time and money on a over priced property if you are not willing to price it right from the start.  It does not matter what you paid for it or the improvements you have done. What matters is, what is it worth TODAY?  Everyone knows the ... 02/17/2011
