Weddington’s Manners
This morning I wrote the following post to Localism, and wanted to share with my visitors here.

We have all we need right here!” The pig was not so excited with this suggestion. “For you, it’s a simple donation,” said the pig. “For me, it means total commitment!”

Bad Lease Agreements and How to Avoid Them
My recent influx of clients have been mostly first time buyers or folks who have relocated to this area from out of state and decided to lease an apartment for a year while they investigated the area. When I moved to Charlotte, we lived in a rental for a year so that we wouldn’t end up buying a home in an area we didn’t like and to ensure we didn’t overspend our budget.

Gilead Village is a Huntersville neighborhood that has been building beautiful Saussy Burbank homes since 2001. There are over 150 homes in Gilead Village. The neighborhood offers a pool, clubhouse, and recreation area.

Why Use A Real Estate Agent Anyway??
I believe that often people aren’t aware of everything that is involved in completing a real estate transaction successfully. Many consumers have no idea what it takes to get from start to finish in a real estate transaction. Whose fault is it that people are unaware/uneducated in this particular area?? In my opinion, real estate agents are the ones to blame.
