Greensboro NC Reaching Out to Foodies     Greensboro North Carolina has started joining many other progressive cities by encouraging Foodies and entrepreneurs to showcase their goods.  I was lucky enough today to see the tweet when the city of Greensboro’s own Twitter account let us know which food trucks would be out and where they would be today.       After walking down the row of food trucks and looking at the menus I settled on the food truck from a local restaurant 1618 Market.  I was not disappointed at all.  I choose the pulled pork with asian slaw on a french baguette with truffle pomme frites and orange infused iced tea.   I salute Greensboro for actually setting aside green space and they have set aside a downtown parking lot (not an easy thing to decide to do) for the food t...

The Kirkwood Neighborhood a Secluded Bedroom Community in the Heart of Greensboro NC   Over the years Kirkwood has become one of Greensboro’s best kept secrets.  This is a neighborhood that has not only held it’s values during one of the largest shake ups in the national real estate market they have improved.  I have had clients over the years that have insisted on buying in only Kirkwood and have also payed a premium to live there.     A peaceful neighborhood that is very close knit.  If you drive down their peaceful streets the one scene you will see repeated in many of the front yards are the pairs of adirondack chairs used for peacefully sitting outside and visiting with all your neighbors.   This is a community that even has it's own July 4th parade each year!      Since we have su...

Greensboro’s Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway   The Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway is a long greenway that is the union of several paths such as the Lake Brandt Greenway, Battleground Rail Trail, and the Bicentennial Greenway.  Those paths along with the old abandoned Atlantic-Yadkin Railroad bed make up the new Atlantic & Yadkin Greenway.  The present rail trail starts well within Greensboro and continues through Battleground Park and Bur-Mil Park along Lake Brandt lets everyone enjoy the beauty of nature.  There are plenty of scenic overlooks, bridges over the lakes, benches to take advantage of the natural beauty of our parks and natural lands.  This is one of my favorite places to exercise.  I ride my bike from the beginning of the trail which starts behind the Target shopping center on Lawnd...

A Homes Accessibility Directly Communicates Willingness To Sell!   I was inspired to write this blog by a fellow Rainer's blog Leslie Elbersole's latest blog Dear Listing Agent: Yes I am serious are you?  In the blog in the introduction Leslie mentions the fact that she had to wait six hours for the listing agent to return her call for an attempt to get an appointment to show the home to her buyers.   This brings many points to mind on how accessible is your home to potential buyers.  These days while it is not a seller's market by any means the home buyers in today's market still have a lot of inventory to choose from.  Case in point I have myself in working with buyers lately been instructed to take homes off their list because after two tries we could not get a listing appointment.  ...

You may have waited and waited for prices to go down more, but guess what, they don't seem to be going any lower in our area.  Coupled with fairly high inventory, low pricing and interest rates below 4%, there's no more reason to wait.

So You Want to Sell Your Home In Greensboro North Carolina     First of all we need to determine if you really do want to sell and what is your motivation?  Are you looking to Downsize?  Maybe you have been relocated with your job?  Whatever the reason if you really want to sell your home then we will need to focus on the basics first.   De-clutter your home.  You are wanting to move anyway right?  So go ahead and pack up most of those knick-knacks, maybe even take out some furniture.  You need to clear out some of your possessions.     Neutralize your color scheme.  Lighter colors will make a room look larger.  If you like bright colors that is fine but in order to appeal to the largest group of potential home buyers you need to offer them a blank canvas they can make their own.  Just ...

Question for all of you in the 203k lending arena. We are all aware that investors are out of the program but since non-profits are still in this question seems relivent. There is a little known feature of the 203k that reads as follows: Occupant owners attempting to sell their home may refinance the current mortgage with a 203(k) loan and make repairs and improvements prior to placing the home up for sale. If the purchaser of the rehabilitated property is a first-time home buyer, that buyer can assume the property without a down payment. This, if it can be utilized would be very powerful and give the sellers a chance to maximize their profits on a home as they get it sold. it would also help realtors get larger commissions as they would be marketing morehomes at their repaired value.
