Deborah's Real Estate Blog

Read something VERY interesting on the Century 21 website today I thought I would share with you:

Buying a home is one of the most important decisions you will make. That's why it's in your best interest to choose an experienced real estate agent who listens to and understands your needs, and works in the area where you want to live. When you choose a CENTURY 21 Agent, you're dealing with an experienced professional who understands your concerns and will provide you with the personalized service that makes all the difference. CENTURY 21 is in 42 countries, 7,800 offices, 104 languages, and represented by 143,000 agents who understand the life changes that real estate decisions can bring. What should you expect in your first meeting with a real estate agent? A CENTURY 21 agent typically will talk to you about the neighborhood where you want to live, home prices, schools, transportation, and the surrounding commercial and residential areas.

I thought they were talking about me so thought I would share!  Great reasons for using a Realtor and a Century 21 Realtor at that!

Not to toot my own horn but hope you enjoy as much as I did.

PRINTED WITH PERMISSION FROM MY FAVORITE MORTGAGE GUY!

Hey guys - A GREAT buy!  2 bedroom 2 bath perfect for roomies, a small family or just a single person needing a little extra space.  Approx 900 sf overlooking a wooded area in a VERY desirable area of Charlotte - Cotswold.  Close to shopping, food, and of course downtown!  A must see priced very reasonable for the area.  $115,000

This is a second floor unit so the view is much better.  Share the entry deck with one person and have a private deck (far right) that overlooks a wooded area.  Walking distance to the pool and tennis/basketball courts but not on top of so you won't hear the noise should it be nap time.

Please contact me for more information on this great opportunity!
