Nancy Braun Earns Short Sale Seller Certification

Charlotte, NC December 7, 2017 – FORCE Advisory Council Chairperson Nancy Braun, owner and Broker-in-Charge of Showcase Realty, has earned the first and only North Carolina state specific Certified Short Sale Seller designation through Advance Mortgage Education. With well over two decades experience in the real estate and mortgage market, Braun will bring her expert knowledge of specialty markets to help short sale sellers and homeowners underwater navigate through the arduous process of short sales.

Braun states, “This North Carolina Short Sale Seller course provided updated, comprehensive and critical information to effectively represent sellers in complicated short sale transactions. I can provide a better option to sellers facing the potentially devastating effects a foreclosure can have on them and their families. It is gratifying to know that I can make a difference in my clients’ lives and help them get back on track to financial freedom.”

Advance Mortgage Education, Inc was the very first to conduct Short Sale and Loss Mitigation continuing education courses in North Carolina in 2003 stating, “We are the only education provider to have courses approved with the NC Real Estate Commission, the NC Banking Commission, and the NC State Bar. We have been providing North Carolina real estate agents, loan officers, mortgage brokers, paralegals and attorneys with Short Sale courses for the past fourteen years.”

Charlotte Ranked The 5th Best City in America for “Spending Within Their Means”

Making ends meet

In these days with a fluctuating economy, it can be hard to make ends meet at times. It takes a lot of discipline to pay off your house mortgage, credit, utility bills and still have enough for your needs. Your lifestyle plays an important role, and having family, friends and neighbors who support your ‘downsized lifestyle’ is a must.

How would you like to live in one of top US cities which spend within their means? It could mean a lot, especially if you are trying to live comfortably but also want to ensure you are spending within your budget.

LendingTree just released their recent ranking of the top 50 metropolitan areas based on how their residents are spending within their means.  It used three metrics to score each metro – the average number of credit inquiries, use of revolving credit, and non-housing debt balances as a percentage of income and mortgage balances.

They found out that among the 50 metropolitan areas, many residents use their revolving credit lines, have mortgage balances averaging 79% of their annual income and with non-housing debt balances of around 44% of their annual income.

Good news for Carolina residents

Charlotte ranked 5th out of 500 cities where residents are more likely to be living within their means, averaging 3.8 credit card inquiries in the last two years. Only 28.2% of its residents use revolving credit utilization, with 43.2% residents having non-housing debt to income.

Greenville, SC scored the top rank among the cities, despite it being the second-lowest average income in all 50 cities ranked.  It averages at $65,503 per household.

Greensboro, NC residents are also successful in frugal living, obtaining the second best rank on the list.

Why move to Charlotte?

If you are already neck deep in debt and would like to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle and pay your mortgages and credit cards, you should consider moving into a city like Charlotte.

Think about it. Is moving to Charlotte NC a good choice? Movers are driven by economic opportunities and incentives. If so, then one the best places to resettle is none other than Charlotte.

Here are some good reasons why:

1. It is the third largest financial center in the country with companies like AT&T, Bank of America, Microsoft, and Wells Fargo.
2. NC  has the 5th largest industry workforce in the nation as it is home to internationally known companies including DuPont.
3. The largest research park in the country and three Tier 1 research universities, as well as major biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, can also be found in here.
4. There is a low cost of living.

How does this translate for potential movers? Better investment opportunities, higher average incomes, and more employment opportunities, are just a few ways.

And if those things are not reasons enough, imagine enjoying beauty of nature that abounds in North Carolina – the crisp fresh air as you hike the Appalachian Trails or bike the trails of Rocky Knob Mountain Bike Park, the spectacular view of fall colors as you drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and the orange-hued sunrise viewed over the Atlantic Ocean from the beaches of Brunswick Islands.

“I selected Showcase Realty based off a recommendation from a former neighbor. This turned out to be a great decision. From a seller’s perspective they are awesome at marketing and utilizing social media/digital material to get interest in a property. I wasn’t selling anything super special – just a basic rental property. They had multiple offers presented within the first 3 days on market. I highly recommend working with Jessica and Nancy if you are a seller looking for a smooth process. I see some negative reviews on here, which look like they reflect more from a buyers perspective while Showcase was the selling agent. I don’t really see those as good representations because the selling agent represents and answers to the SELLER, not the buyer utilizing their own agent.” – Sam R, Google My Business

“In June 2014 I hired Nancy Braun to sell my home in Matthews and everything from signing the listing agreement to the closing went exceptionally well. While not Nancy’s fault, a couple buyers pulled out of their offers and Nancy called me immediately to explain why they cancelled – and she reassured me to hang in there because my house would sell, and it did for full asking price! Nancy and her team are very knowledgeable, responded to my calls quickly, and were very professional. In addition to that, their system allowed me to know when the house was shown and provided prospective buyer’s feedback about my house. I’ve never seen a system like it. It kept me informed, which came in handy as I live in San Diego. Based upon my experience, I highly recommend Nancy Braun and her team!” – Metrocmj, Zillow

“I reached out to Nancy Braun when I saw a piece of property I was interested in on the Zillow website. I was promptly contacted by Leigh Anne Forlidas, a broker associate for Nancy Braun. It was determined the initial property I called about was already sold, but Leigh Anne offered to help me find other suitable houses. I am lucky she did. After several weeks of looking, Leigh Anne found a house in my budget and in the perfect location. Considering how picky I am about things, Leigh Anne had to work hard to earn my business. She was considerate and worked around my schedule, which meant lots of evening and weekend work. I would certainly recommend Nancy’s group to others looking for a new place to live.” – Mparra67, Zillow
