Apps to Sell or Buy your Charlotte Home

Hammerpoint

Sometimes, upgrading your home is a great investment and will help you sell your Charlotte home faster. Hammerpoint can provide us with detailed estimates on how much an upgrade project will cost in Charlotte. This will help us make a decision to move forward with an upgrade–or not, before signing a contract.

HomeSnap

This app speaks for itself. Around Me shows you the nearest banks, grocery stores, gas stations, and restaurants around the Charlotte home you’re considering and exactly how far away they are. This will help you map out convenient routes to and from work, or learn whether or not you can stop at the grocery story on the way home from school with the kids without going out of your way.

7 Reasons to Buy a Home in Charlotte

May 11, 2016 by Danielle Edwards

7 Reasons to Buy a Home in Charlotte

Buy a Charlotte home in 2016 and immerse yourself in the unique, family (and dog) friendly culture of the Queen City!

May, 2016– Danielle Edwards is a Charlotte, NC Realtor with RE/MAX Executive, the number one RE/MAX in the Carolinas.

There’s a reason why it’s so rare to find a native Charlottean around here. Charlotte is a great place to move and there’s never been a better time to buy a home in Charlotte! Here’s why:

7. Affordability

For the high quality of life in the Queen City, Charlotte actually has a low cost of living among the top 40 metro areas in the nation. According to movingtocharlotteguide.com, Charlotte’s housing costs are 18 percent lower than the national average making 2016 the perfect year to buy a home in Charlotte!

6. Options

You can find bungalows galore near the city, or live in a modern uptown condo. You can live in the suburbs of Ballantyne or Matthews, or you can live on either Lake Wylie or Lake Norman. There is such a wide variety of homes in the Charlotte area, it’s impossible not to find a home that fits you and your family best.

Uptown Charlotte has dozens of modern condos and townhomes

5. The restaurant scene

The Charlotte restaurant scene is thriving more than ever. From the most delicious hotdogs you’ve ever had at Chili Man’s hotdog stand in the heart of uptown, to tapas at Good Food on Montford, you can’t miss out on Charlotte’s evolving foodie culture. If you buy a home in Charlotte, you’ll never grow sick of the restaurants that are authentic to the area.

4. The Panthers

2015 was a big year for the Panthers and the fans that have cheered them on since the beginning. Whether or not you’re a fan, the excitement and positive vibes floating around on game days make going out in Charlotte on a Sunday afternoon even more fun.

This photo says it all.

This photo says it all.

3. Fun for the whole family

You could try a new place or go on a new adventure every weekend in Charlotte and rarely do the same thing twice. Go on a Saturday morning hiking trip on Crowders Mountain, take the kids to Discovery Place downtown, or take the whole family to the Whitewater Center for more than just whitewater rafting. There’s a plethora of family friendly outdoor activities, scenic greenways, museums and sights to see all over the city.

The U.S. National Whitewater Center

2. Pet-friendly environment

Charlotte is home to 6 dog parks across the city. Almost every local brewery is pet friendly and chances are there will be tons of cute pups for your own four-legged friend to meet. Bring your dog to the Whitewater Center to enjoy a big lawn and live music. There’s even an annual doggie event called “Woofstock.”

7 Simple Ways to “Go Green” at Home

April 26, 2016 by Danielle Edwards

7 Simple Ways to “Go Green” at Home

“Go Green” in your Charlotte, NC home with these 7 tips.

April, 2016– Danielle Edwards is a Charlotte, NC Realtor with RE/MAX Executive, the number one RE/MAX in the Carolinas.

“Go Green” at home! Making subtle changes to your daily lifestyle at home can make a positive impact on the environment. You don’t have to purchase a hybrid car or start raising your own livestock to create a more environmentally-friendly home. Below are some ideas you might find helpful when deciding to “Go Green” in your Charlotte home.

 

7. Update the insulation in the house

Older homes (built before 1980) may not be constructed well for energy efficiency. According to energy.gov, adding insulation to a home will likely pay for itself within a few years due to the amount of energy it will save for Charlotte, NC homeowners like you. If completely updating the insulation throughout your home is not currently in your budget, you can always purchase thicker curtains, or even sun-blocking/thermal curtains to keep the house cooler during the summer.

6. Throw out pesticides

Most pesticide sprays come in aerosol cans which are bad for the environment– more importantly, the chemicals that exist within those cans aren’t good for you and your family. Prevent pests first by sealing up any exposed holes in the wall or cracks in the foundation. Be very careful not to leave behind any crumbs or sugary and sticky messes. In the event that you do find bugs inside of your home, try using one of these homemade organic pesticides.

Danielle Edwards RE/MAX Realtor Charlotte NC

5. Clean off dust bunnies from refrigerator coils

All of the dust that collects behind your refrigerator will cause it to have to work harder to keep cool. Every 6 months or so, scoot it out and clean off the dust that has accumulated to make sure your fridge isn’t using up more energy than necessary in your home.

4. Unplug small appliances

Appliances still use energy when they’re not turned on or not being used, just because they are plugged into the wall. You can save energy and even cut back on your power bill just by unplugging appliances like your toaster or coffee maker. Also, try unplugging lamps that don’t get used very often in guest bedrooms or formal living rooms.

Danielle Edwards Charlotte NC Realtor REMAX Executives

3. Brew smarter

Coffee drinker? Make sure your coffee was sustainably grown by drinking USDA Certified Organic coffee. If you prefer to drink coffee on the go, many Charlotte, NC coffee shops will offer discounts for customers who bring their own mug or thermos. Save money and save paper or plastic!

Danielle Edwards Charlotte REMAX Realtor

2. Ditch the dryer sheets

Did you know the chemicals in your dryer sheets are bad for your health? There are many home made alternatives to using Tide or Gain dryer sheets that may also save you money! Try this safe alternative instead.

6 Tips for Relocating to Charlotte

March 23, 2016 by Danielle Edwards

6 Tips for Relocating to Charlotte

Everything from navigating through the city to Queen City culture, use this article as your resource guide for relocating to Charlotte

Whether you are packing up and relocating to Charlotte right away or you are just in the early stages of house shopping, this Charlotte-area Realtor Estate agent is here for you! My name is Danielle Edwards and I am a Charlotte, NC Realtor with RE/MAX Executive, the number one RE/MAX in the Carolinas.  Preparing to relocate is stressful enough. I’ve done some research on relocating to the Queen City… so you don’t have to!

Know your school districts.

Oftentimes, the best neighborhoods are near the best public schools. Charlotte is a huge city, and if you plan on staying in the same home as your children grow up, be sure you’re looking at neighborhoods in school districts with a great reputation before relocating to Charlotte. Check out our list of the top rated high schools in Charlotte, and what neighborhoods surround them.

Test-drive your commute.

Loop Study StonewallCharlotte is full of interstates. If you’re heading North on I-77 on the way to work, your 15 mile commute may take an hour. If you’re heading South at the same time, your ride will be smooth and traffic-free. The same is true for the inner and outer loops of I-485, I-85, and even smaller roads such as Highway 160. If you already have a job lined up in the area, take a ride during rush hour from your prospective neighborhoods to your job site. If you will be working in uptown Charlotte, make sure you’re comfortable with the commute before your first day. The random one-way roads uptown can be tricky if you’re not used to them.

Subscribe to the Charlotte Agenda.

This online publication is great for newcomers that are relocating to Charlotte. The writers highlight popular restaurants and neighborhoods, and keep readers up-to-date on what’s in the works for the Queen City. Once you get settled in, this will be a great resource in figuring out where to explore. You are sure to fall in love with the many beautiful sights and unique breweries, parks, boutiques, and other small businesses that Charlotte has to offer! They also list multiple job openings a day, for those of you who are still on the job hunt.

Relocating to Charlotte

Are you a workout fanatic? Purchase Class Pass.

This smartphone app is $79 per month. But, if you love working out it will be worth it. Charlotte is home to a large amount of local, family owned or private gyms. Maybe you are a yogi but don’t know which studio is best for you. The app lets you choose from almost ANY gym in Charlotte, view their schedule, and reserve a class. The only fee you pay is for the app itself. This means you have access to every gym in Charlotte until you find the one that’s right for you. Some of these gyms cost over $200 a month for a membership, so $79 is a great deal.

Know your neighborhoods.

It seems like Charlotte is home to a handful of “mini-towns.” You’ll hear all kinds of names for different areas here. The truth is, there are a ton of unique neighborhoods around the city and each one has it’s own character. While one area may be home to many college students, another may be home to many young professionals or families, so it’s important to get a good idea of what you can expect from each of these communities so you’ll be an expert before relocating to Charlotte! Some of these areas include: Elizabeth, South End, Lower South End, NoDa, South Park, Steele Creek, and Dilworth. To learn more about each neighborhood, check out this helpful website.

10 reasons to move to Charlotte

November 4, 2013 by Jason

10 reasons to move to Charlotte

Why I fell in love with the Queen City, and why you will too

Charlotte

In 2006, I moved to the Queen City (Charlotte, NC) from South Florida.  After living in California and NYC, I was anxious as to whether the “South” could hold my attention.  Between the beauty of Lake Norman, the crisp and colorful fall season, and unique, family-owned restaurants, I was very happy with my decision.

There are so many wonderful reasons I fell in love with the city. But if I had to pick 10, these would be on the list:

10 reasons to move to Charlotte

1. The climate

The weather in Charlotte is incredible. Being a Floridian, I was not looking forward to wintertime in the Carolinas. But, really the winter here isn’t that bad at all.  Summer heat, compared to Fort Lauderdale, was not even a comparison.  I’m convinced that there’s no place with a more beautiful autumn season than right here. Charlotte is full of lush greenery that turns all kinds of shades of yellow, orange and red. The Carolina blue sky seems a little bluer. And Spring, are you kidding me? Where do all these beautiful trees come from?!

2. The people

The people in Charlotte may be some of the nicest folks i’ve ever met. There are two types here: you have your native “Charlottean’s” and then you’ve got people like me who have migrated here from elsewhere. It seems that no matter which of the two they belong in, they’re are friendly either way! Everyone waves when they change lanes, says hello and asks about your day.  They address others as “Ma’am” or “Sir” and hold doors open for others.

3. Accessibility:

The airport

Charlotte is super accessible when it comes to travel. The Charlotte Douglas Airport is an awesome international airport right outside of the city . It’s the 10th busiest airport in the U.S., averaging about 1,400 flights a day with about 700+ non-stop flights and more than 175 non-stop destinations around the world. Parking is easy, the restaurants are great, and you can be to the islands or NYC super fast! Not to mention it is the hub for American Airlines!

The light rail

Within Charlotte we have a light rail that makes travel from South Charlotte into Uptown easy, and safe. It’s constantly being expanded and currently transports 27,000 people every single day. It has 32 stations from Pineville to the University area, with additional arms under construction.

4. Parks

There are so many beautiful parks in Charlotte, it took me about a year before I experienced most of them. My favorite is Freedom Park which is comparable to the Central Park of the Queen City.  You’ll love the annual Festival in the park! Complete with live performances, local art vendors, and of course, funnel cakes! Up north by Lake Norman, you’ll find Jetton Park, where you can walk, have picnics, even get married.  Enjoy a beautiful sunset, watch the boats go by and just relax!

If you want to experience a piece of nature in center city, try Romare Bearden Park! It’s a beautiful green area with a breathtaking fountain and skyline view. First Ward Park is another Uptown Charlotte gem. It has a really neat water fountain that shoots from the ground, kids love it! It even has workout equipment adults can use while their kids splash around. Another secret that many don’t know about is Latta Plantation.  You can rent kayaks there and go horseback riding. It’s a beautiful place to have a picnic by the water, hike, and just get lost with nature.  They have the famous historical “Latta” home you can tour, the Raptor Center, and nature trails that go on for miles.

5.  Sports

Professional Sports

If sports if your thing, Charlotte has you covered with: The Carolina Panthers NFL team, NBA Charlotte Hornets , minor league Baseball the Charlotte Knights, and minor league Hockey The Checkers. Whether you choose to support Charlotte teams or not, you can still enjoy local Charlottes ports by waiting for your team to come play here in Charlotte! More than likely, your college team will be making a visit to play against USC, Wake Forest, Clemson, UNC or NC State, so you get your college fix once a year too! The Panthers and Knights stadiums have unmatched views of the beautiful Queen City skyline. Even if sports aren’t your thing, the scenery is so worth getting out there and experiencing the game!

Adventure sports

Newly added to Charlotte is the National White Water Center.  This is fun for the whole family.  You can go white water rafting, zip-lining, kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, rock climbing and paddle boarding! They have awesome concerts along the rapids, and a restaurant that is great to watch the rafters flip over and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

NASCAR

Charlotte in case you haven’t heard is the home to NASCAR, the new NASCAR hall of fame, the ALL STAR RACE and the Bank of America 500.  Whether you are a NASCAR fan or not, it is definitely something you need to check out once and cross it off your bucket list!

7. Cuisine

The Charlotte food scene is growing more famous and delicious all the time.  BBQ is a definite hometown must here, but beware of Bojangles.. those biscuits will lure you in, and the sweet tea? Lets just say you’ll put on a quick 10 lbs  :)  My top 5 favorite places are:

  1. Midwood Smoke House : Located in Plaza Midwood. As if the BBQ wasn’t good enough, the banana pudding is even better
  2. Nikko Sushi: Fun ,lively sushi place that makes you feel like you are in the “big city”
  3. Soul Gastro Lounge: funky tapas place in Plaza-Midwood.  They don’t take reservations, but it is worth the wait
  4. Custom Shop: Elizabeth area.  Great “custom” fresh food, small portions.  Don’t visit in a rush, this food is fresh and pricey but SO worth it!
  5. 131 MAIN: is another great NC chain that doesn’t feel like a chain at all. Different specials each night. High quality food and service.  The cornbread, ahi-tuna appetizer and salmon appetizer are my favorite.

8. Greenways

For the active people, Charlotte has stunning greenways around the city.  I have yet to explore them all.  They recently added the “rent-a-bike” around the city that makes exploring Charlotte even easier! I suggest checking out the 7 mile greenway that runs through Freedom Park and Midtown over to Elizabeth.

9. Unique neighborhoods

Much like NYC, Charlotte has its unique pockets of the city that are almost separate from the rest.  I love the “artsy” style of NoDa (North Davidson).   Here you will find art galleries, street vendors, live music, fun tattoo shops and the famous hot dog vendor! There is also Plaza Midwood, one of Charlotte’s eclectic, historic areas.  This is definitely a destination spot for the FOODIE.  Bring your taste buds here for sure!  Check out, “Soul” the pork belly tacos are out of this world, Zada Jane’s, Midwood Smokehouse and a great burger at Kickstand.  For the more historical charming town vibe, Davidson, which is North of Charlotte, is a quaint town, and feels like going back in time. While you are up there check out North Harbor Yacht Club, for a nice meal on Lake Norman.

10. Quality of life

This one is a little hard to explain, it’s something that you’ll just understand once you get here. I guess a better term for number 10 would be “the easy life.” The traffic compared to other cities of this size is a breeze. It’s so easy to make friends, get involved, raise a family or retire here.  The cost of living compared to most major cities is minimal. I find myself always happy to be back “home” in Charlotte after a trip elsewhere.  The pace of life is perfect.  Once you find your niche group of friends, hobbies, church/temple, mommy groups, whatever it is you need– you will be right at home.

Let me know what your top 10 reasons are.  Love to hear from you.
