I recently took a trip down to south Florida with my sister to attend my high school reunion. We decided that we wanted to rent a car and drive down to the Keys for a few days while we were there. At the airport, I’m in line to get the rental car, and my sister [...]
Once the weather starts getting a little more “nippy” and the sun starts going down sooner, we begin to live inside our homes more!
Over the past few years, I have enjoyed incorporating some festive touches for the fall season into my home. Wondering what I could possibly do to “recycle” past decorations, my thoughts landed [...]
I’m a girl who has rented apartment after apartment (oh the stories I could tell…). From the good, to the bad, to the ugly I’ve seen and lived in it all, trust me. Overall, renting is fine but everytime I write that rent check I stop and think about the money I’m essentially throwing away. [...]

Back in late 2001, I wrote a staff memo (on paper with ink…pre-blog) that attempted to implore my associates to take a hard look at how well they were balancing their personal and professional lives (That’s sometimes a difficult task in the real estate business). After all, 2001 was the year of the tragic events [...]
For over 54 years, the Carolinas has been our playground. For that reason, it is only logical that we once again partner with our Carolina Panthers. We are both your “home team.”
Each year, we approach the new season with eternal optimism — that same optimism that we see for the future of the housing marketplace [...]
