I wrote a little ad piece for the Cary News this week, in the “Consult a Specialist” Q&A section.

Too often, homes go up on the MLS with no photos, or with really bad photos.  I wonder why? Read the rest of this entry »

Some agents avoid land and lot sales.  They don’t understand it.

Some agents pursue land and lot sales, because they think it should be “easier.”  Dangerous thinking.  It isn’t “easier.” Read the rest of this entry »

It’s hard to beat.

Forbe’s ranking of the Raleigh/Cary metro area as #1 in the USA for Business and Careers was just the ticket.  It comes on the heels of last May’s BusinessWeek.com mention of Cary as one of the Best Affordable Suburbs in the South. Read the rest of this entry »

With over 3,000 photos posted, and over 8,000 views of photos, I have to say I really have enjoyed my first year using Flickr. I have the Flickr Pro account, that offers me unlimited monthly photo posting for only $24.95/year. A bargain, I think.

Flickr has served me many ways: Read the rest of this entry »

It’s a little bit of a nuisance.  My automatic MLS property search emails that go out every morning are anticipated by several of my motivated Buyers in Cary, NC.

And as of last week, Yahoo! is refusing to deliver them to folks who use Yahoo! email.  Seems too many Yahoo! clients have called agents’ MLS emails SPAM, and Yahoo! has blacklisted the Triangle MLS server.

Our good folks at the TMLS tell me they have contacted Yahoo! looking for help.  And they have received no response.  So now, as well as trying to help nice folks find housing, I’m also promoting Hotmail, Gmail, or other providers.  Not exactly the business niche I seek, selling email services…

Of course, folks can also use my site to search for homes, and set it to alert them to new listings.  That would be:  www.MikeJaquish.com

But I would be just as delighted if the TMLS folks could make peace with Yahoo!  That would give me a great blog to write!

Sold in April!  This starter home is one of my favorites.  It is in a supremely convenient location, sharply decorated, and exceedingly clean and well-maintained.  At $179,900, it is SO affordable, too! Read the rest of this entry »

Cary, North Carolina, routinely pops up on lists of most desirable towns when areas are ranked.

A combination of factors creates a wonderful environment.

Cary, NC, is located in the center of the Triangle region, between Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill and just minutes from the Research Triangle Park.

This location allows for easy access to all the amenities of the area, which would include entertainment districts, employment centers, sports venues, medical care, parks and other outdoor recreation, Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU), and great shopping complexes.

And Cary is an easy 2.5 hour drive to great North Carolina beaches.  A similar drive takes you to the mountains of North Carolina.

Town of Cary government is very proactive in creating a safe community, and the Town routinely ranks as one of the safest towns under 200,000 population in the United States.

Growth has been rampant, and well-managed.  In 1970 Cary’s population was under 4,000.  Today it is over 110,000 and growing.  Growth has been very suburban in style, with subdivisions organized in a cul-de-sac layout which leads to quiet streets with low traffic.  Growth has allowed Town government to maintain a superb credit rating for bonds, and low property taxes.

I have lived in Cary since 1997, and enjoy it tremendously.
