If you are looking for excellent schools, a great location, a decent price and a beautiful home, look no further than Kenilworth in South Charlotte. It’s centrally located between Ballantyne and Blakeney with just a ten minute drive to I-485 (typically less than 45 minutes to uptown Charlotte during rush hour)  making this community enviable in terms of sheer convenience. The homes sizes in Kenilworth range from 2200-4600 heated square feet, some with finished basements. The neighborhood was built in the late 1990’s to early 2000’s by Ryan Home Builders. The homes have open flowing floor plans and are situated on nicely landscaped lots. Kenilworth does not have a community swim and tennis club, but you are less than ten minutes (door to door) from the Morrison YMCA...which is fantastic...

    When it comes to the level of Charlotte NC real estate inventory (or months of real estate supply) what does that really mean?    The real estate inventory levels are a real estate market indicator.  A measure of how the supply (available homes for sale) compares to the recent demand (recently sold homes).    When supply is Above recent demand, the real estate inventory level is Elevated    When supply is Below recent demand, the real estate inventory level is Lowered    In general about 6 months supply of Charlotte NC homes for sale is considered a "balanced" real estate inventory with buyer and seller activity being fairly equal.    Charlotte NC real estate inventory OVER 6 months is considered weighted in favor of home buyers since supply is outpacing recent demand, while LESS th...

When I come in contact with a Buyer that got my information through a friend, usually its a relaxed transaction.  The trust is already there.  I don't have to worry too much about loyalty.  They are pretty solid.  It doesn't give me any reason to be anything less than professional.  So it ends up a pleasant transaction for all. However, whenever I get a buyer that found me either through my advertisements, its safe to say on average they are a bit nervous about buying their first home, and meeting with an Realtor they have no idea about. In some cases these buyers have stopped into a builder's office to look at homes.  And they usually get excited when they walk the model.  What they don't know is, the model is upgraded to the highest degree, and probably out of their price range...but ...

Charlotte NC Schools—How to Pick a Public School for Your Child Yesterday I attended a talk given by the Superintendent of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS), Dr. Peter Gorman.  Dr. Gorman is the dynamic leader of the Charlotte NC schools, the 18th largest school district in America.  He spoke about the challenges of running this large system that covers 500 square miles and has 176 schools with 137,000 students. Dr. Gorman is focused on attaining school success.  He measures school success by emphasizing student growth rather than proficiency.  Each student should have at least a year’s academic growth by the end of the school year.  Dr. Gorman noted that 89% of the CMS schools averaged a year’s growth last year compared to only 54% five years ago. The talk turned to picking a sch...

I had an agent once tell me the agent at the builder's office told his clients that they "didn't need an agent".  That is crazy, and might I add, very unprofessional! I come across buyers all the time that wish to buy a brand new home.  Nine times out of ten, they already visited with the builder's rep, and are still unsure as to what was said, what will be done, and who they can trust. My advice to Buyers is, get representation for you! The builder's agent may be a nice person that greets you with smiles and a bottle of water, but guess what, she or he works for the builder! Which means, they are looking out for the builder's best interest, not yours! Getting an agent to represent you in the transaction is the best decision you could make in any real estate transaction.  You will have ...
