Our client recognized the value and benefit of buying a home in the town of Cary and more specifically in the neighborhood of Preston. Little did we know our client would be the focus of a national magazine interview. More on this later.

Trulia Market Data "Retooled" for the Cary Real Estate Market

For many years I have embraced competition and understood it to be part and parcel of the wonderful free market system. Early on in the Web 2.0 era many of my peers looked with disdain at the likes of national portals like Zillow or a Trulia. Once I laid eyes on the tools and the amount of information consumers could obtain from the Trulia real estate search web site, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and take advantage of what they were offering.

Trulia Serves It Up on a Silver Plater!

In case you missed it, the LG Real Estate team grabbed many of the Cary real estate market data images "available" at Trulia and easily added those little goodies to our Cary Real Estate website. Now our Cary home buying and selling consumers can easily access the same real-time data found at Trulia without ever leaving our Cary Homes website.

Cary Real Estate Stats Page Unveiled Here First!

I'll give you a sneak peek at the Cary Real Estate Stats page. For a closer look, go to my Trulia-powered Cary Real Estate Market Stats page NOW!

The Insider's Edge to Making Your Home "Show Ready"

Everyone loves to have access to an "insider's perspective" no matter if it's tips to hanging on to your precious retirement account in the midst of financial market upheaval or preparing your home for your area's real estate market. In fact, one of my favorite lines comes from the movie Ratatouille where the food critic "Anton Ego" (played by Peter O'Toole) looks at chef Linguini and ask for a little "fresh perspective". What a delicious line! (sorry-I couldn't resist)

Let the Cary Home Transformation Begin!

Now you know the motivation behind our series of blog post at the Cary real estate blog on preparing your home for the market. If you recall from my last CaryHomesNC/Active Rain post, I posted that our Cary real estate staff member, Jennifer Grinter would be taking you step-by-step through each phase of transaforming her Cary home for our local Triangle real estate market. Let's face facts, when anyone (including real estate agents) first considers selling their home it is a given it is in no shape for the real estate market. There is much to be done before the lockbox is placed on the frontdoor and the for sale sign is ever planted in the front yard. Jennifer does a wonderful job walking her readers through each phase of getting her personal home located at 108 Fairchild Downs Place in Cary, NC ready for the Triangle real estate market.

Learn What Jennifer's Family is Up to This Week!

You are invited to read Jennifer's post at the Cary real estate blog to see what her family is up to this week. It's compelling information everyone is sure to benefit from. Read more Cary Home Prep Tips here......

A Blogging Idea Even HGTV Would Love!

Ok admit it, if you're like me you eat, sleep, and breathe real estate 24/7. Even during our "downtime" (what is that?) we watch real estate on TV! Well, we have an idea for you that even HGTV would love!

An Insider's Perspective on Prepping Your Cary Home

Recently, one of our Cary Real Estate staff members, Jennifer Grinter, decided to prepare her home to list it on the Cary real estate market. During one of our LG Real Estate staff meetings, we gave this news a good mulling over and asked how could this experience bring value and benefit to our past clients, current clients and those who will become an LG Real Estate client in the future. As if we all had a "simultaneous epiphany", we collectively shouted - BLOG ABOUT IT IN OUR CARY AREA REAL ESTATE BLOG!

What a Great Idea!

We all agreed this would be an excellent opportunity to share useful, real-world home preparation information from an insider's perspective! Obviously, Jennifer had to be the one to post about her personal experiences of getting her Cary home ready for the market. With that said, over the next several weeks Jennifer will be "journaling" her "Cary homework". It will provide our readers a unique "first-hand" perspective on the many task that lie ahead in preparation for marketing Jennifer's Cary area home. We invite you to take a peek at her first Cary Area Real Estate Blog post. We think you will agree this is one of those "win-win" ideas for blogging and a great opportunity to share practical home preparation advice too!

What are your thoughts about this idea?
