Monday Mattoid Musings - Independence Day Reprise
July 8th, 2008 categories: Monday Mattoid Musings, Off-the-Wall
Definition of mattoid : Nobody is ever partly pregnant, but what about being semi-insane? If you know an unhinged genius, borderline psychopath, quirky monomaniac, extreme eccentric, deranged philosopher or restless crank, you know a mattoid. The mattoid is not quite around the bend but always has the turn signal switched on. From an Italian word […]

Is it a Mood Swing, or maybe A Hot Flash…??
July 3rd, 2008 categories: Charlotte Area News, Off-the-Wall, Real Estate News, Seller Info
You ever just stop and think? …or maybe want to? I haven’t had to the chance lately to really do this, but I have been doing a lot of thinking regarding my blog and the direction I want it to go and how to fully engage in the incredibly world of social networking.
One thought that […]

Announcing a New Weekly Feature - Monday Mattoid Musings
April 21st, 2008 categories: Buyer Info, Charlotte Area News, Monday Mattoid Musings, Off-the-Wall, Seller Info
I ran across a great definition of myself from a fun site called f2.org.
The site gave this definition of mattoid : Nobody is ever partly pregnant, but what about being semi-insane? If you know an unhinged genius, borderline psychopath, quirky monomaniac, extreme eccentric, deranged philosopher or restless crank, you know a mattoid. The […]

Repairs Needed??
April 20th, 2008 categories: Buyer Info, Charlotte Area News, Home Inspections, NC Mortgage News, Off-the-Wall, Real Estate Investing, Real Estate News, Seller Info
Repairs needed? On a home? No, unfortunately, I’m talking about my blog….
I discovered this morning that a ton of my posts have been deleted. It seems that everything posted since last November has vanished?
My friends at The Tomato will surely help me resolve this. Right now I’m posting this for […]

Important Charlotte-area Real Estate News and International Coffee Drinking Tips
December 27th, 2007 categories: Buyer Info, Charlotte Area News, Off-the-Wall, Real Estate News, Seller Info
Ok, that’s probably one of my more goofy topic titles, but hey, maybe it is good bait for the search engine machines. HA! Actually it would be fun to see how that title made a difference (if any) in a Google ranking.
This is one of my wacked-out posts that a person has to […]

Welcome Back, me…
October 20th, 2007 categories: Charlotte Area News, Off-the-Wall, Real Estate News
Woo hoo…. I am finally back to my blog. After a loooooooong time away, and probably losing every half-loyal reader, I am finally able to return and I’ve got to say – I’m very happy to have me back. In a fairly brief time, I’ve been to Massachusetts, Oregon, Alaska, and Southern California. While my […]

“your name here” The GREAT
September 8th, 2007 categories: Charlotte Area News, Off-the-Wall, Real Estate Investing, Real Estate News
Well last week I launched myself on a mainly personal quest to discover what could make a single real estate agent or real estate team great. Inspired by my own observations, circumstances, and re-reading the book Good to Great by Jim Collins, I listed three questions from his book and specifically chapter on the Hedgehog […]

Hedgehogs and Real Estate Agents
September 1st, 2007 categories: Off-the-Wall, Real Estate News
I’ve been re-reading Jim Collin’s excellent book, Good to Great. In this book Mr. Collins and his associates document a very detailed study they conducted of what makes companies “great”. I made it most of the way through about a year ago, and for various reasons picked it up again because I feel it has […]

Legal Interpretation of Mortgage Documents
August 2nd, 2007 categories: Buyer Info, Charlotte Area News, NC Mortgage News, Off-the-Wall, Real Estate Investing, Real Estate News, Seller Info
One of the “fun” things you get to do when purchasing a home is go to an attorney’s office (or whoever is handling the transaction) and sign lots and lots of documents.
Possibly the most intimidating document in this huge stack of papers is the very thick mortgage paperwork. Banks have all sorts of […]

Can You Love a Telemarketer….???
July 7th, 2007 categories: Charlotte Area News, Off-the-Wall, Real Estate News
Oh man…does any profession catch more flak than telemarketers? This is another of my “off-the-wall” installments on something that doesn’t directly relate to real estate issues, but it is something that I found very interesting.
This week, I was having one of those sucky weeks. Weather was hot, customers were difficult, and to top […]
