For more information on what we have to offer visit:
I watched the local ABC news channel tonight when they stated that statistics were out this week showing homes in the Triangle, NC area are depreciating slightly and there is an 11 month supply because of all of the competition.
Nothing more nothing less. Not where they got these numbers. Not how much they are depreciating. Not what price range. Not the time frame they were using. Type of home, new or resale? That was their story. Not even a clear definition of the Triangle because I guarantee there are some differences of opinon on that. Just your homes are losing value and sitting on the market for 11 months.
That certainly is not what I have read and knew to be the case just a few weeks ago. Where are they getting their information?
Where do we find some of the facts & figures the news industry quotes? Isn't it their job to report better information and their sources. I guess it is just about a story people will listen to.
Why do they feel the need to make such a broad statement without any preface? Do they want to scare the public? How does that help the Triangle area? I am not saying not to report negative information but report all the facts not just scare tactics.
I just wanted to know if any of you have the answers?
Before I end this I want to share with you some quick info I pulled from the Triangle MLS just now:
Here are all of the homes sold in the Triangle MLS the last 30 days back, 90 days back, & six months ago in Wake, Durham, & Orange County not taking any of the 2064 Pending and 319 Contingent homes into the mix.
Once again only the homes in the Triangle MLS and I still have to figure the appreciation later but everything I have read and seen has us at a slight appreciation with fewer homes selling.
Those are my facts on the time on market and I if I go to my usual price range below 300K it gets even better for the Triangle.
Lesson learned?
Know the facts and be able to tell them because there is a good chance you local news is not and it is up to real estate professionals to educate our clients on the local market! The good and bad as it pertains to them.

That is what I use to tell all of my friends and family about the Raleigh area in reference to the remark you normally hear, "it is great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there"(and no it was not because I did not want them to visit, at least most of them).
They still came though and we would jump in the car and drive to Wilmington for the ocean or Asheville for the mountains to have something to do. We still do now, but it is not out of desperation of finding something to do, it is because they are great places to visit too.
We are definitely a great place to live with a vibrant local economy not dependent on any one sector, beautiful surroundings and climate, and wonderful schools (if only they would quit reassigning them), but now we are on the map with more cultural events and we even have an NHL team the Carolina Hurricanes. Who would have thunk it back in 1995 when I first moved here!
Just this weekend we have Cary's Lazy Daze, a free concert in downtown Raleigh with Puddle of Mudd & Eve 6. We are finishing an awesome new Raleigh Convention Center and Broadway Series South tours through our Raleigh Memorial Auditorium on a regular basis. These are just a sample of things to do with new activities and events happening here each weekend for all stages of life.
So come on down and have a great time! We actually have things to do!

For information on housing or to find a home visit:
Picture of Cary's Koka Booth Amphitheatre another great place for concerts!
A beautiful and well maintained park for kids and families is the Kids Together Park in Cary, NC!
It was a very hot day this past weekend but we had to get our three year old out of the house before he destroyed it. If you live close to this park it is in a great vicinity near Cary, Apex, & Raleigh, NC.
This is a great park to visit even on the hot days! It has a lot of shade and a great shelter. Even places your kids can play in the water and dirt (so be prepared for that)!
I thought I would post a few pictures of it and mention a few subdivisions nearby in case anyone is interested in getting their kids out of the house or looking to move and want to be near a park!
Swing in the shade or run in the sun enjoying the slides and bridges. Oh yeah, it is fun for adults too!
A great place to sit while your kids play on what my 3 year old, Blake calls a rocket ship! The canopy & trees help keep it from getting too hot!
I had to put at least one picture in here with my son Blake! Great little picnic area to sit in the shade and watch just past them is a little faucet and dirt to run water and get good and dirty (or good for you know to make sure your kids do not see it).
For more informationn about the park here is the site for it: http://www.kidstogethercary.org/ThePark.htm

Raleigh Cary Realty is a full service brokerage that gives agents the tools they need to market their listings & themselves. We give Buyers an awesome home map search to save their favorite homes!
Raleigh Cary Realty is a full service brokerage that hires brokers & associates who follow the Realtor Code of Ethics.
In today's current market conditions our clients need us to be there for them and sometimes the bigger firms get in the way. Raleigh Cary Realty allows and encourages their agents to put their clients needs before both themselves and the firm in doing what is best for their clients' financially. It allows its Brokers the flexibility of charging their clients on an individual needs basis.
Raleigh Cary Realty is founded on the idea that as the real estate industry has evolved with the internet & technology, many of the bigger firms no longer offer value for what they charge their agents & clients.
We provide value for the service, knowledge, and integrity we provide our clients and we choose agents that treat their clients the same way and are professionals who know how to run their own business but realize they cannot do everything!
What are the bigger companies providing their agents for 30% to 50% of their gross commission?
Consider these questions to determine if you as an agent are getting what you are paying for from your brokerage firm:
What does Raleigh Cary Realty provide to you for much less out of pocket?
Sounds Great - what exactly would it cost me?
We believe agents should market themselves not the company. Its all about YOU!
Worried about the cost involved with changing companies?
Consider the long term benefit you'll reap from a small initial investment: $100 for business cards & riders ($500 or less if you wanted your own personal signs).
Is it worth paying 2 to 3 times of commission earned to continue with your firm?
If you think "No", please give us a call (It will be strictly confidential).
We would love to welcome quality people to a wonderful future with Raleigh Cary Realty! I am more than happy to meet with you or send you our Policies & Procedure Manual if you would like to discuss it further.

The George Wilson Team
George Wilson is the Broker In Charge of Raleigh Cary Realty and the team leader for:
A Professional Organization First:
We realize every BUYER is different whether they are first time home buyers or seasoned veterans and help them according to their needs. We help by setting up home searches or giving the tools needed to set up your own. We will gladly set up appointments or find out information about a home or area as requested and in a timely manner. Once you have found the right home we check the local market conditions and any future plans for the area to make sure you are paying the right amount and nothing is planned in the future to change that.
Every SELLER has different needs whether it is to sell a home fast or for the most amount money or both! We help you make informed decisions and provide you the information to make the right decisions for your market. We know how to help you show your home in the best light for masses and market your home with virtual tours and internet exposure through tools such as enhanced listing in Realtor.com.
Consultative No Pressure Approach:
We know that many of our buyers want to compare and look at homes at their own pace until they find the right home or its the right time and this may be one month or one year. We will be here when the time comes and we know by the time you are ready to make a decision you need us to be there. By then you are ready to move forward before someone else gets the home you have been waiting for and need us to act fast. We formed a team to be ready when you are!
We provide the information you need in order to make an informed purchase and we provide it in a professional and timely manner. We offer sincere advice that looks out for you not us. If we are here for you now we know we will earn your business in the future.
As a team we monitor the same email address and have someone on call to answer questions or set appointments when you are ready. Why would you want one person when you could have a team of three?

Our goal is to make you as comfortable as possible during this time and for you to be truly happy with your decision.
Honesty and Integrity:
My team recognizes that the only way to grow in real estate and the business world is to treat everyone with respect and honesty. People only refer their friends and family to professionals who they trust to take care of them and help them make wise decisions. We have seen that taking care of

Geoff & Jessica Flegel
From the first phone conversation George was out and working for us. His communication skills and thorough follow-up is clearly what sets him apart from any other realtor we have worked with. He always kept us up to speed on what was transpiring. In addition, he always returned phone calls and often within the hour. It was rare to not be able to reach George, even on a weekend. He is one of the hardest workers I have ever met and a true professional.
Tony & Amanda Robertson
Tony and I can't thank you enough for all you've done in helping us sell our home and find our new one. You're a person of exemplary character, high integrity and a committed and persistent work ethic. We're fortunate to know you and to have had you behind us in this process. With our deepest thanks.
Therese Fenter
George Wilson of Keller Williams Realty is a most engaging and Professional Real Estate agent. I couldn't have been more pleased with an agent. When asked if he would list a lot I had to sell, that very afternoon he went to the lot site and took the most beautiful pictures of it, and by the next day he had an MLS listing with all the pictures as well as research supporting the price of the lot. By the next day, my lot was under a bid war with two sellers. Eventually, the lot sold for over $10,000 more than the original asking price, and within 30 days the lot was closed and I had the funds in my hands.
Brie and Mike
We are very happy in our new home that George Wilson hand selected for us. He made our first time home purchase a wonderful, hassle free experience by accomodating our busy schedule. George organized viewings of homes in the evenings and weekends, which enabled us to buy our home without disrupting our work schedules. I highly recommend his first class services.
Jenny & Skip
You are the best! I have the utmost faith in you and will forever be in your debt for your professionalism, determination and all your capabilities in dealing with a difficult lender. You made house hunting easier, than I ever imagined! You made the whole experience a very pleasant one, with your cheerful manner, your willingness to go the extra mile, and your uncanny ability to sense exactly what we're looking for! I would STRONGLY recommend you to anyone, especially the newcomers to house buying.
Kelly & Stephen
I highly recommend George Wilson. In every instance he went above and beyond what we expected to help us find exactly what we were looking for. If all realtors worked as hard there would be no such thing as "for sale by owner".
