Hey Brad! I am still interested! I remember talking to your brother-in-law through several emails. http://www.sandyisyouragent.com - Just blog my name and you'll see how many thousands of links I'm on. I have my site feeding to tons of other sites. I'm commonly referred to as the PR or Networking Queen. Thousands of twitter follower, thousands of backlinks, and a ton of happy clients

Brad-

We're the leading boutique agency on Lake Norman, if you'd like some detailed information on the market, go to our site, http://www.IvesterJackson.com, at the bottom of the home page is a link to our blog, which has ongoing statistical analysis of the lake, current iventory and absorption rates, average showings per home in each price segment, etc. We have the number 1 market share on the lake in waterfront homes, have over 140 million listed, we've put 14 million under contract in the past 10 days, including 4 homes over 1 million, and 2 over 3 million. There is no guarantee in this market as you likely know, but we analyze in detail, the position of each home, we market more aggressively than any brokerage on the lake, and there's a multitude of reasons why we're the top listing luxury agency. Technology is just one part of that. We also have a 25 year network of prior clients, have the top agents in Cornelius, Davidson, and Mooresville, and shoot it to you straight.
If you are interested in talking after taking a look, give me a shout.

Brad,

Tech savvy? How tech savvy are you wanting? I left the IT field after 10 years to become an agent and like all the latest gadgets for marketing as well as personal use. I guess your looking for an agent that can get the house sold as quick as possible.

I grew up in Huntersville (Lake Norman) I have lived here for 20 years and know the area pretty well. I too am now raising my family here.

I am not going to go into a big rant about what I do and can offer but if you would like to talk more please feel free to contact me. My info can be found at http://www.queencityarea.com I also have a forum setup for you to talk with the Charlotte locals at http://www.queencityarea.net

Good Luck with your search!

Brad, My Brokerage is located on Lake Norman in Davidson, NC. I live in Cornelius on the lake and know the entire area very well by land and water. All of my marketing is done through the internet. I have recently started a lake norman blog a little over a month ago. Today I had 15 NEW visitors look at it. My highest total NEW visitors in 1 day, in the last 30 days was 42! You can have the most beautiful website in the world, but if nobody can find it, it's pretty much useless. In addition to my blog I have about 6 other accounts where I advertise. Just as an example, I had a management company up in DC advertise my rental for about 5 months without a showing. I advertised it on craigslist, showed it about 5 times within 2 weeks and had it rented. I worked for a builder called Ryan Homes which are huge in the DC and Charlotte markets where I essentially sold every house that I built to the customer that purchased it. I have experience in staging homes/models. I can also do open houses although lake homes are better to do by apt as many people that come to open houses are just curious.

My website is http://www.CharlotteAreaNewConstruction.com

Most of my content in my blog is for buyers (which is the content which people have been finding my blog from), so essentially about 75% of the people being directed there by search engines are looking for homes or Lake Norman info.

I could get you a CMA for your property, but to accurately price the home, I would have to visit it.

Let me know if I can assist you!

I would love to help. I live in the Lake Norman Area. Denver, NC. Love it, boat and play on Lake Norman regular. As far as technology. I am big on the Internet, most of my marketing expense is for the Internet. I believe that is where most of our buyers come from. We use featured home, showcase , virtual tours and a 24/7 hot line on our signage. It takes more then just one marketing avenue to sell a home. I would love to share my marketing as well as our commission plan for selling, You may visit our website at http://www.carolina-real-estate.com. We do co-broke, but if our firm sells the home(dual agency) then the commission is 2.5% FOR THE SELLER. I can be reached at 704-607-7514 for further information. Look forward to it.

Hello Brad;

I'm Monica, a Realtor as well...

I just read your post and I have a few qualities that you're looking for. First, I am very tech savvy. I am a computer person, use it like a fiend, I believe that the internet is THE wave of the future in real estate sales and information, the potential there is unlimited and as of yet, basically untapped. I know all of the software programs...I use a Blackberry, I am very in to e-mailing and texting with my clients and other agent's as well, if they're so inclined.

Next there's the market stat's...could and would show you TRUE market stat's...in fact I BELIEVE this is the only way to do an honest business...especially in the market we're currently in...

As for a marketing plan...I'm a newerish agent, I know what I have done, what I do...and I'd be happy to go over all of it with you... My MAJOR advantage to this whole plan is, I LIVE and WORK Lake Norman...not to mention --I LOVE it here...so I feel I have a major advantage to others... I also live on the lake. I know the subdivisions, I know the schools --I have children in them, I know the community... I have friends, connections... I see all of this as a huge advantage and I implement ALL of these things in to my individualized marketing plan...

I admire your assisting your brother-in-law in locating a qualified agent...I did the same for my sister out in California...

Good luck in your choice...I must admit there are MANY really good, quality agents in the Charlotte, or even the Lake Norman area...

Look forward to hearing from you...
