 The presentation of an offer to purchase property is a crucial part of the offer and negotiation process. It's the opening of a communication between buyers who have decided they've found the right house and the sellers of that house. (Important note: bank/reo/corporate owned properties have unique considerations and are not the subject of this post).  Pretty important step in the process. If it were as easy as sending in an offer to a computer or machine and waiting for an automated response, perhaps the presentation piece wouldn't matter. But, when human beings are involved, the presentation of a buyer's offer is absolutely critical.  Faxing, e-mailing or physically providing the offer is how it's delivered to the other party, that is not the presentation of that offer. Delivering th...

Our favorite used book shop in South Charlotte called to confirm they got a copy in stock of "THE RICHEST MAN IN BABYLON".  I had already told my sons this is "must" reading.  Before getting in the car I decided to go through our shelves for some older books that they (we) have outgrown.  The store gave me credit for the older books and I was pleased to have walked out with a total investment of $1.65 for this priceless book by George S. Clason. There was one old book the store did not take off my hands because they had too many in stock: "WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU"RE EXPECTING".  This is well known required reading material for expecting parents by Arlene Eisenberg, Heidi Murkoff, and Sandee Hathaway. As I was driving back home, the book's cover provoked memories of when my sons were due...

It has been brought to our attention through recent articles and publications that the Charlotte, NC housing market is now declining. A mere 0.1% from last year's stats. Compared to the rest of the country Charlotte is still holding strong. Though the media has painted a grim picture and expect the market to steadily decline until it bottoms out we remain confident! In my direct real estate niche the average days on market is a reasonable 71 days. This number clearly reflects a strong market. I attribute Charlotte's growth to our solid job market, economic growth, temperate climate and good ol' southern hospitality! As with most things in life, real estate is cyclical. What goes down must come up and vicea versa. In the meantime The Homan/Williams team continues to hit it hard! We look ...

According to Charlotte's local newspaper, The Charlotte Observer, it was reported today that Charlotte home prices have dropped 0.1% in the past year. This is of course minor in comparison to cities across the nation however, I see the pain in local Realtor's faces. It is reported to continue to drop before it bottoms out and begins climbing again. Charlotte was lucky to never have hit the bubble that other cities did such as Las Vegas, Miami and Detroit. Never being part of this bubble and a strong job market has largely attributed to a somewhat steady housing market during a slow economy. Charlotte has been good to it's citizens. I feel lucky to live in such a well rounded City! Even though there is an evident change in the market, what goes down must come up. I'm confident the change...

As natives of Charlotte and its surrounding counties, both John and Gaye love working in the Real Estate industry here in Charlotte, NC. After working in North Charlotte for several years with Lake Norman Realty, they moved to South Charlotte where they joined Keller Williams Realty Southpark and are still there today. As the national news has recently proven, John and Gaye feel very fortunate to be working in this market. While sales have slowed, prices are still appreciating, and interest rates are still reasonable. Charlotte is not only a great place to live, but a wonderful opportunity for investment property. As a matter of fact, not only does John specialize in investment properties, he and Gaye are investors themselves. Some of John's investor clients buy and hold their property ...

The 2008 selling season has been one of the more interesting ones, as our economy is uncertain and there are many homes up for sale. Buyers have many choices to choose from and if they have solid financial backgrounds, can be solid gold to that home seller competing on the market with an actractive list price.  Another solid gold buyer is the Active Adult, or better known as the Baby Boomer.  This segment of the market is making up a large majority of the home buying public.  There have been a larger number of homes being sold in Active Adult communities such as Sun City Carolina Lakes than any other single neighborhood in the Charlotte Metro area.  This segment is the elite in the home buying population.  They usually have sold their home or don't need to sell their home.  They are ver...

  I've long been preaching to my Realtor friends that they need to buy a camera and start making short videos of their properties.  I've seen several agents doing it, and I think it's an excellent way to market your listings - or other listings if you don't have one yourself.  I don't understand why it isn't utilized more.  As a buyer's agent or listing agent, you always visit homes and condos for sale.  Why would you not bring a little camera and film the property? I have a friend, Sunny Yates, who sells Charlotte real estate (North Carolina) and understands the value of video promotions.  She also has a top ranking website, www.sunnyyates.com.  I've seen a couple of the videos tonight, and was literally floored with them, and what an excellent marketing tool this can be. One was a sho...

HUD has long required properties to be held for 90 days by the seller before the property could qualify for an FHA mortgage loan. Effective June 9, 2008, HUD has waived the 90 day requirement in regards to homes being sold by lenders who foreclose on a property. CLARIFICATION: After further review it appears that this waiver will only affect properties for sale by mortgage companies due to foreclosure and the companies that they transfer the proeprties to in order to sell. Investors who "flip" properties may still be subject to the 90 day rule. This waiver is good for only one year and will expire June 9, 2009. For more information on how this will impact Charlotte FHA mortgage loans, visit Charlotte Home Loans _____________________________________________________ As a HUD approved FHA ...

"Oh, so you are a mortgage guy huh? What's your Shtick? What gimmick do you run?" This was the question laid before me by someone calling themselves a sales professional. I asked, "what do you mean...Shtick?" "You know... what's your game? How are you different from the rest. I see all those websites out there offering free quotes, no 'hidden' fees (wink wink) and claiming to revolutionize the mortgage world. Where do you fit in? What's your Shtick?" Wow! Is that what we have become? Is the mortgage world this messed up? Have we relugated ourselves to such insane and insulting levels? Maybe so... I too see the gimmickry going on. I see the websites offering ways to revolutionize the world! All claiming that for years lenders have been stealing from borrowers and now they will turn the t...
