Take in the treehouse views of this lovely home in Taberna!
Friday, December 30th, 2011 at 1:23pm. 87 Views, 0 Comments.
On one of the few elevated lots in Taberna sits a brick home on an end of a cul-de-sac that appears to hang in mid-air, suspended in the trees, overlooking an undisturbed and protected eco-system that existed long before Taberna was even imagined. Bird watchers will be in their glory as feathered friends of all native species can be truly appreciated for their beauty without as much of a tilt of the head.
As you enter the foyer, you eyes are immediately drawn to the outside. As you gravitate to the screened in porch and outdoor deck you will be mesmerized by the stillness in the air. On a breezy day you will hear a slight rustling and the occasional singing bird. Sit back, watch and listen, it’s much more enlightening then watching a backyard of…

The Times They Are a-Changin'

Historically low interest rates and rock bottom prices are bringing Buyers into the market. With interest rates below 5%, Buyers are thinking it can’t get much better than this. And it’s true, for first-time buyers this may be the opportunity of a lifetime. FHA loans require only 3.5% down and some lenders have special programs that require even less for a down payment. Contributions to Buyers’ closing costs are negotiated to be paid by the Seller for first-time buyers. A case in point, this week one of my clients in her sixties who had recently retired, purchased her first home. She is delighted her mortgage payment is less than her monthly rent had been on a smaller home in poorer condition.
Another sign of more demand is that we are seeing…
The Celebration is over, but New Bern continues to shine!

WHEW, the 300th celebration of the founding of New Bern is over!!! For 52 weeks in 2010, I do believe there was at least one party a week celebrating the 300th. Everyone joined in for fun, volunteered for work, and celebrated together. Even in a poor economy, New Bern really shined for a whole year. And guess what, it continues to shine in 2011.
I sold a house recently to a couple who have lived all over the world. As they planned for retirement, they selected New Bern from all the other places. I asked them "why?" They said that people from all walks of life live here and enjoy taking part in an inclusive community. They said for a small town, New Bern offers good health care, good educational facilities, great arts and entertainment, and…

Don't Miss Out on the Federal Home Buyer Tax Credit - The Clock is Ticking!
Monday, March 15th, 2010 at 3:32pm. 305 Views, 0 Comments.
It's never too late to buy a new home. Several factors are converging to make this the perfect time to buy a home. Interest rates are at historic lows. Inventory levels are high which means there are plenty of choices for buyers at good prices. And Uncle Sam is offering a 10% tax credit up to maximum of $8,000, for first time or other eligible buyers who have not owned a home in the three years previous to the purchase. Why pay the mortgage on your landlord's property when you can be accumulating equity in the property yourself?
I just want to share a couple of stories of folks who have recently purchased a home and taken advantage of the tax credit.
I received a call from a young woman in her twenties, who was interested in renting a one-bedromm…
NEVER GIVE UP

I recently had a lady ask me to help her find a lot in New Bern for a new mobile home she was going to buy. I asked her why she was buying a mobile home and she said no one would help her except the mobile home company. They offered her a $100,000 mobile home at 7% interest. Now this lady has worked 2 jobs for 10 years, has no bad credit and is just a nice person. I went with her to talk with Miriam Willis at First South Bank who is nice to everyone - and low and behold - she qualified for a good loan on a home. Well, to make things better, we got someone to build her a home right where she wanted it and she got to select the house plan. At closing we all cried like babies. NEVER GIVE UP MY FRIENDS! This small sale will stay with me forever. I made a…
