Chapter One…What prompted your decision to buy a home? Especially a
Condo or Townhome?
First, we talked about our plan for joining forces with all of you, your
wonderful and not-so wonderful condo experiences, putting our pens
together and writing the book for ourselves and everyone else-The Book:
The Definitive Charlotte Condominium Tutorial and Workbook for Buyers and
Sellers and the Rest of Us.
Secondly, we did our due diligence as the North Carolina
Real Estate Commission wants…explaining about agency and who
represents you and who we represent and how you know that information
(it’s the brochure: Working With Real Estate Agents).
So, we are finally here…except the dedication. Drum roll, please…
Here’s looking at you…my fabulous clients. Over the years we have
traveled long and wide…through condominiums and town homes and
co-ops…uptown, downtown, historic, suburbs, rural, office
condos…together we have bought and sold many, many. Thank you, thank you
for the rich experience.
Chapter One.
You have decided you are going to buy a condo or maybe a townhouse.
I always like to know what prompted that decision? It matters.
Settling down as a single? What’s
important?
Garage mostly for women.
Getting married?
Storage. Kitchen. Home office.
Expecting Children.
Stairs. Playgrounds. Accessible to schools.
Parent moving in or out.
Split bedroom. Separated living quarters. Steps.
Divorce.
Legal issues. Finances. Custody.
Scaling down.
Sorting out stuff.
Investment.
Being patient. Doing homework.
Second home?
Tax balance.
Knowing what prompted this move is very important to the broker helping
you.
I always see my job as looking for problems and hurdles before they
happen. And besides the financial aspect, what you want and need define he
space. Helps sort through your
options. Shortens the chase. And is really fun.
Real estate in my book should be fun and exciting…I believe taking your
time, doing our homework, asking a zillion questions pay off. I’ll take
the questions I have posed and break them down and apart on the website.
Please join the conversation. Your stories are most welcomed.
Thank you.
