Catching up is hard to do, Part II

I didn't realize it had been so long since my last post. Whew, it's been a busy time.

Ok, to catch up. The young lady who I had been showing houses to for about a month, chose a home in the Willowmere subdivision. She fell in love with the house, made an offer which was easily negotiated, and went under contract.

The young man in seminary(who is currently spending the summer in Scotland) closed on his condo last week and is anxious to get back and move in.

I've spent time with 3 other buyers since my last post. A young lady and her fiance' had been looking for homes in the Concord, NC and north Charlotte area. After seeing several houses, they found one they really liked, however they decided to wait a while longer before making any decisions. That's the frustrating part of this business, but there are no guarantees. Hopefully we will get back together in early 2009.

I also began working with a gentleman from NJ who just moved to Charlotte. He's looking in the Uptown area as well as Dilworth, Myers Park, and Eastover areas for a condo. We spent a lot of time over the July 4th weekend looking at properties. We looked at approximately 50 condos in a span of about 4 days. Lots of work and tired feet. Depending on what happens with his house in NJ will determine whether or not he purchases. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!!

I nice lady who I met at an open house. We developed an instant repor. After explaining to me that she had seen a house in Dilworth that I am familiar with, we went to take another look. It's a cute place and has a lot of potential. So, we made an offer and after day long price negotiations, we are under contract. Only 4 days from first meeting to going under contract. That's the satisfying part of this business!!!

My Roggenbier is still in the secondary fermenter. I hope to keg it this weekend. I desperately need to get another batch of beer going!!
