I'm here at my favorite watering hole again, the Tribeca Tavern in Cary, NC.  No hot leads were found tonight, but I did have the pleasure of meeting two fellow Realtors.  I had the chance to discuss buyers, sellers, and general market conditions.  One is currently going through Buffini training ...

I received a phone call yesterday from a server at my favorite Cary restaurant and she asked me if I had my real estate license yet.  I told her I had and that I was the Realtor that her Manager used to find her townhouse and close on it last month.  SHAME ON ME!!!  I assumed that because everyon...

I read an article this morning about home ownership across America has declined to 65.9%.  The report went on to predict that that could go as low as 62% by 2015.  Because anything less than 69% is considered "unacceptable" by industry standards, what can be done to reverse this shift?

I recent News and Observer article stated that average home prices in Wake County North Carolina are higher this year than the same time last year.  Given the tax credit from last year and the number of lower priced buyers last year, that would make sense.  I wouldn't mistake that for a general, ...

I was watching a news show this morning and the debate was heated.  The panelists were discussing the Republican agenda vs. the Democrat agenda.  Who is right?  Who is wrong?  Fingers were pointing in every direction and each side was sure that they were "winning". Then one young man (I can't rec...

I had just finished dinner and was having my usual drink (root beer!) in the bar of the restaurant with a few friends.  The bartender, knowing me and knowing what I do for a living, asked me if I had a business card.  Of course, I obliged. He introduced me to a couple from California who had rece...
