More than just another day!

Lynnsy Logue, Broker
The Real Estate Lady ®

 After  many days, just looking through the 

 garden, walking on the paths to see who 

    made it through these last months, finally

    bundling the branches and bagging

   the sticks, trimming the ivy and blowing thedriveway clear of smaller debris while 

l  listening to the chimes and going in and out 

   of the   basement, the garden center, I felt

   calmed. My role as a real estate broker

almost always has center stage and as I have set my cap to write for my blog and facebook as routinely as possible, and polish the websites and learn a new interface, a review of the week past comes to mind:1.  Article I posted from The Charlotte Observer regarding trash pick up costs: Charging condos and apartments for trash pickup might be difficult because all condos are not seated in a midrise or high rise. There are many duplexes, and many triplexes, and yes, even  houses that are legally defined as condominiums and most often there might be just a handful on one small section of a street. Thinking about cost when it might be more expensive to collect from just a few or one on a street. Just sayin’. When I created my database twenty years ago, I made data sheets for each one, how I know for sure.2. Condo CanDo’s® Repeats: An article from 2007,South End and The Abbott and hats off to Tony Pressley. Charlotte has had some remarkable folks who put their stamp on a district or section. Paul Broom did that for NoDa and made it a hot spot.3. And then there is Smokey Bissel and Ballantyne, Ervin Construction and Raintree, when the corner of 16 and 51 was really country. ( Did you know there are over twenty condominiums/townhomes in Raintree?) John Crosland and Beverly Woods( to name but one), George Goodyear and Mountainbrook and many others.4. And my current fascination with inspections and windows and the terrain of the inspection process in real estate…nd windows with broken thermal seals.5. And lastly, the CE class Friday afternoon, a required class because our Charlotte MLS is owned by National Association of Realtors, and I am a student at Superior School of Real Estate with Bill Gallagher, the very best and brightest teacher and friend. Our schedule is taking shape. I go forward camera in hand and notebook riding shotgun.
 Spring is in the air!
