Charlotte Homes and Charlotte Property take on new meaning depending on whose shoes you are in. For the sellers it is often one of sorrow and soft memories. For the buyer it is one of joy and hope. For the Realtor, it is one of transfer and negotiations. For all involved, it is important to remember that home is where we stop at the end of our day and it becomes more than just a place to hang the hat. For those parties involved in a Charlotte real estate transaction, we get the whole picture. Ultimately, the objective is a home that you, too, will love.

Our House, Is a Very, Very, Very Fine House...

Home, Sweet, Home

A Short Story

It’s such a fine little house, neatly tucked in just the right spot.

As a shelter, it served us well, but as a home it warms our heart with fond memories.

So as we venture forward to leave our little house that contains our treasured past, reflections persist as we check off our lists.

Who will buy our treasured little house?

Will they see it as we do?

Will they love it as much as we have? What is to become of the measured growth of our children etched on the closet frame?

We've washed it up so it may start  anew with the next happy owners.

As Agents, we have to bear in mind that we are not just assisting in buying or selling a product.

We are placing a home, with all its cherished memories, up for public inspection and scrutiny, for sale to the highest bidder.

When acting as a buyer agent, I remind my buyers, when negotiating a purchase, to remember that we are not tossing spoiled fruit.

Buying and selling real estate is not a war game with no quarter.

It is, as Donald Trump calls it, the art of the deal.

So as you go marching up to conquer the little house on the hill, remember that you are not part of the angry mob hell bent on victory at any cost.

You are a part of the civilized world, understanding the subtleties of the market and the people that are involved.

I like the notion that the little house on the hill will continue to be the dream, not a notch on a belt from the last conquest.

Sometimes a soft touch can achieve better results than an iron fist, remembering that home is where the heart is.
