Your Guide to Buying a HUD Home I recently had the priviledge of attending a half day seminar from the local HUD representative company to explain the system and processes of buying a HUD owned home. Here is an overview from that seminar as well as some helpful tips so that you will be successful. Buyers: The Best Deals in the Charlotte Area are... Ok, so the spring market has shown up a little late but still its a market none the less. My personal business is doing splendidly - others not so much. The key is that my clients are looking for best buys on the market and I am uncovering new ones each day. Finding a great deal isn’t as easy as looking up an MLS listing.

This home wasn’t the cheapest home on the market or the only one for sale in the neighborhood. Buyers wanted this house because it looked good, was in the right location, and was priced right.

Most understand that not only is real estate a means for shelter but also an investment….probably your largest single investment. Therefore, when you’re looking to make that next purchase, what are some factors that you should consider that may help or hurt your resale value? Listmas Time is Here!

Bad Lease Agreements and How to Avoid Them My recent influx of clients have been mostly first time buyers or folks who have relocated to this area from out of state and decided to lease an apartment for a year while they investigated the area.
