What a Run During My Lunchtime Says About Our Real Estate Market
What does a run around my neighborhood at lunchtime tell me about the current real estate market? If you’re thinking I’m going to say that it’s booming, I see for sale signs that have immediately gone under contract, I’m sorry to say that you’re wrong. Truthfully I ran all over one side of my neighborhood […]
What Every Buyer in a Seller’s Market Should Know
Buying a home is never easy. The pre-approval and financing process (because who doesn’t love digging through your files to find tax documents and pay stubs!). Finding the right realtor (I know that everybody knows about six realtor friends and choosing the right one can be tricky). Determining your budget (champagne taste and beer budget […]
Local Market Update – How Hot is Waxhaw?
If you live near us (Waxhaw, North Carolina, a suburb of Charlotte), you probably agree that it’s almost impossible to be in a social setting and not have the topic of real estate come up.

What’s Next in 2021 – Part One
In the past year, I think a lot of us have murmured under our breath, “What’s next…” as we’ve experienced the uncertainty and volatility of 2020 and now 2021. But in all seriousness, what IS next? I want to know. Don’t you? I want to know what this year will mean for my career in […]
Homeowner’s Associations – Best Friends or Worst Enemies?
The homeowner’s association, often referred to as an HOA, can be a sticky topic for some people. Ask your friends about their HOA. There is a good chance you will get an eye roll or a laundry list of expenses they had to pay. You may also get some good stories about crazy stuff people […]
