...it might be time to jump in! We've talked often about Ardrey one of our favorite Charlotte neighborhoods. Right now all the front porches are decked out with Halloween goblins and ghouls which will soon (not TOO soon) be replaced with the most magical Christmas Winter Wonderland decorations anywhere in Charlotte! Like many Charlotte neighborhoods Ardrey is doing great average price per square foot is [...]
While the Mountainbrook MLS statistics are striking we' not that surprised. Classic Southpark area neighborhoods like Mountainbrook, Barclay Downs, Montibello, Foxcroft and Sharon Woods are super popular...again. In fact we just received a unsolicited letter asking if we'd be interested in selling our Montibello on Sentinel Post Rd. That has happened to Charlotte homeowners since before the housing mess. Back to Mountainbrook...so what's going on? [...]

I think the heartwarming and gorgeous message in [...]
In a classic (aren't they all) Modern Family episode real estate agent Phil Dunphy is petrified of clowns....a pretty common fear. But the inside joke is that the clown Phil is most terrified of is named FSBO....that's right the Realtor nightmare...For Sale By Owner! I think we can all chuckle about that...but it struck me the other day when I came upon three gorgeous homes [...]
I stumbled upon this wonderfully poignant (and short) video about the housing market. It reminded me of a blog post I did awhile back Looking for a 1974 Buick Century? Im Your Realtor. I think I'll repurpose that post here later but suffice to say the post was about how in all the mess and gnashing of buying or selling a home we [...]
