    Hi Petra! Great post about our little--GROWING community!

    One thing that I am faced with here in Charlotte is our growing unemployment rate. I'm praying that the banks loss mitigators realize how crucial it is for them to secure a short sale buyer right now--a foreclosure should never be an option for them with our rates where they are today. They'll lose FAR more than if they get these short sales through.

    Good luck and have a great week...

    Great piece Petra. Over the next few days will be setting up an agent search feature so the public can search agents by city and state.
