I attended a new home orientation the other day and as I was listening to the builder speak with the buyer about preparing his home for winter I thought this might be some good information I could share with you. Our company recently posted the following blog with reminders about winterizing our homes, enjoy!http://athome.allentate.com/2010/11/winterize-your-home-now/

Here is another interesting article I wanted to pass along from the KCM crew, one of our favorite blogs.Selling your house in today’s market can be extremely difficult. It is for that reason that every seller should take advantage of each and every opportunity that appears. Each fall, such an opportunity presents itself. This fall, that opportunity may be just too good to pass up.Below are five

This article was recently published by the National Association of Realtors and I thought it was interesting and worth passing along.Americans Still Believe Buying a Home Is a Good Financial DecisionNAR's eighth annual Housing Opportunity Pulse Survey reveals that nearly eight out of 10 respondents believe buying a home is a good financial decision, despite ongoing challenges with the economy

The SUV tax break is back! Congress has recently approved a tax patch which contains the 2009 tax break for purchasing a new heavy SUV. As an example, if a business purchases a new $50,000 SUV and puts this vehicle into service by December 31, 2010, it can expense $25,000, the maximum for these vehicles.  Then the business owner can claim $12,500 in bonus depreciation and also $2,500 in normal

A Great Blog Post! This is a post from earlier today by KCMBlog.com one of our favorite Blogs.  It says alot and hopefully speaks to anyone that wants to buy, can buy, but is holding off for some reason.  If you're not in the market, it's still a good read.  If you know of anyone who is, please forward it along.  The best way for us to insure the real estate market has turned the corner is to

I had the privilege of attending a great program yesterday in Uptown Charlotte on the changing demographics in the world and their impact on the Real Estate Industry.  The focus was on the impact to the United States as well as he also spent some time on our home state NC.  Dr. Johnson has a great slide presentation with excellent statistics to backup the forecasts.  I especially enjoyed that,

When a lender mentions you have an assumable loan, what do you think?  Who is going to assume my loan?  Why would someone assume my loan?  What exactly does that mean?  For many years rates have been very great.  Lately, they've been so great, some say we may not see rates like this ever again.  Well, assumable loans don't really mean much until mortgage rates go up or until you have someone

THE ROLE OF A TRUSTED ADVISOR.. Homeownership is a state of pride like no other. What could be better than building equity, deducting taxes and interest, and having a place to call your own? That said, homeownership can be complex. It’s much more than buying or selling. Many decisions need to be made on an annual basis. As your trusted real estate advisors, our team is here to help you

BRAINSTORMING AT WORK HERE! With rumors looming like another tax credit being considered by the administration, I THINK THERE ARE BETTER IDEAS TO CONSIDER FIRST.  We all know the Housing Market drives the economy, so with that in mind, here's a thought.  Over the last 3-4 years as a result of the housing market crash, there have been millions of short sale and foreclosure casualties.  Many of

I think this is a great article on the expectations by most Real Estate Experts across the country, on whether prices are going to continue to fall. Of course, most articles like this are talking about the nation as a whole, not your local area so consult your real estate professional who specializes in your market. In our local market, I believe this to be true. There will be some level of

Well we have officially made the switch from Tumblr to Blogger and are very pleased with the added features and possibilities.  The more design options to customize the look and functionality which of course we are still learning, is the big reason for the move.  Now just trying to figure out how to import our Blog archive from Tumblr, so we don't loose them altogether.  We're also working with

What a great class and incredible information.  This information is similar to all the financial information a Realtor should know, but it dives so much deeper into how to utilize the information to assist both buyers and sellers in making the right decision for their situation.  In today's crazy market, this type of extensive education is exactly what will help most sellers stand out and get the
