Ever notice that in history many recessions corrospond with election years? Check it yourself, I am not kidding. Is it because of uncertainity about the future or is the media perpetuating something? Oh well I don’t profess to be a political science expert (infact I made a “C” in my one and only political science class in college) I am actually a home inspector in Charlotte NC. I am writing of something proactive a charlotte real estate agent did to combat the market doldrums. Holly Pasut of Charlotte NC “Team Holly-Would” contracted a stretc hummer limo to take a tour of her listings. On this tour she took 24 of Charlotte’s top real estate agents, a mortguage guy and home inspector (yours truely). The group had dinner after the tour. We all discussed the pluses and minuses of each property. We alo talked of forming a group to do this sort of thing regularly. Its this “Outside the box” marketing that just might create a buzz and sell some houses no matter what the news media says.
