If you or someone you know is in the market for a three bedroom home with a bonus room over the garage, and like the Mooresville area, stop by and see this home in Kistler Mill. Offered at $165,000, it has a fenced back yard, and lots of upgrades inside. I’ll be there Saturday, March [...] I had a Facebook message from a young man I know asking about houses he is seeing on the internet for $30,000 or $40,000.

Now, I won’t say there aren’t homes in the Lake Norman [...] Open houses are a favorite pastime of mine. I will gladly do one in most any listing I have. I really believe that they can produce a buyer for the home. I have had success more than once using open houses. But I just did one last weekend that had an unusual turn of events.

But it should also be a time of reflection on how fortunate we are to live in a country that with all its shortcomings is still the best place in the world to live.
