Thinking about selling your home? Let me give you some sound advice. First; use the services of a Realtor®. Second; do not negotiate verbally with a prospective buyer. If you have someone serious about your property, they should be willing to put their offer in writing. Thinking about buying a home: Take the same advice. Do [...] It is now just a formality. Having passed the Senate and House, the bill designed to further stimulate the housing market, and thus the economy in general, is sitting on the President’s desk, awaiting his signature.

The good news for first-time [...] The year I turned 21 the federal government changed the voting age to 18. When I bought my first home, I wanted to join the volunteer fire department in my new community, but they required I live there one year before being eligible.

My home sold in 90 days, which is further proof that the market is picking up.

However, what I learned is when you run the sale ad in the local [...] Someone once said, and it has oft been repeated, “The only two things for sure in this world are death and taxes.” I don’t have anything to add on the death part of that, but I would add that while you can be sure that there will be taxes, you can’t be sure you’ll be [...] What a day Thursday was! After over thirty years in the Lake Norman area, Century 21 Hecht Realty is now part of the growing Coldwell Banker United Realtors organization! Most folks aren’t aware that Coldwell Banker, ERA, and Century 21 are all owned by a company called Realogy, which also holds other realty franchises. So [...] |
