3 year History of Helen Adams Showings

I just bought a house with Helen Adams Realty and Molly Collins was my agent. Molly went above and beyond the call of duty for me. She is excellent in understanding what has to be done, and getting it done. I could not have asked for a better representative through this entire process. In my opinion, Helen Adams Realty is extremely lucky to have Molly Collins as a member of your team.
I would like to thank Molly and Helen Adams again for the outstanding service. I would recommend Helen to anyone that needs real estate needs.

The Obama administration is going to ramp up the pressure on mortgage lenders to accelerate the loan modifications by highlighting firms that are slow in this area. The $75 billion Treasury Program would pay the mortgage lender $1000 that agree to lower troubled borrowers initially and then $1000 for the next 3 years. This program has received a lot of criticism for failing to stem the tide of foreclosures. To read the full story as reported by CNBC click here.
The average closing price for the Charlotte metro area was $196,204 for the month of October, 2009, which is down approximately 9.5% compared to the average closing price in October 2008. Average days from listing date to closing date was 140.7 in October, 2009.
There were 2210 total closed residential units in October 2009, up 16.4%, compared to 2008. The bulk of homes sales continues to be in the lower price ranges, with 89% of sales in the $350,000 and under category. The extension of the $8000 First Time Home Buyer credit until June 2010 will likely continue this trend.
The new tax credit bill also provides a $6500 credit to home owners who purchase a new primary residence – provided they meet income level requirements. This new addendum to the bill will likely increase home sales in the “move up” category, and perhaps raise the average home sale price for the Charlotte metro area.

This is written to give endorsement to Curt Seifart of Helen Adams Realty. My wife and I met Curt while casually looking at condominiums at Morrison in South Park. Curt took the time to interview us and find out what we were trying to accomplish on our desire to downsize. He then researched the marketplace and spent countless hours showing us what was available in the Charlotte market area. After each round of visits he became more focused on the specifics of our needs, goals, and constraints. He offered wise council and advise on the sale of our existing home, which became a complicated process, but he remained patient, and diligent on our behalf. He helped make the acquisition of our new condo home as easy and free of issues as possible.
