Yesterday I played in an exclusive broker golf outing at The Club at Longview.   WOW, what a great golf course, rated #1 in Charlotte and # 11 in the state of North Carolina.  As far as South Charlotte Real Estate is concerned, this is the elite community for you, but, be prepared to spend some money to get in this private gated golf course community in South Charlotte.   

Currently, the inventory in the community ranges from 800k up to 4.6million.  I have played golf for twenty years on many different courses, this course is without a doubt a top notch Jack Nicklaus signature golf course.  The aesthetics and appeal of the neighborhood are unsurpassed in the Charlotte area.  The community is in Union County, Union County Real Estate offers substantially lower taxes and great school systems.  The schools for the community are Rea View Elementary and Marvin Ridge Middle and High, all honor schools of excellence, an award the only 3.4% of the schools in the State of NC enjoys.  Come down for a visit and let me show you all of the great things this community has to offer!!

How would you feel if you bought a home that seemed perfect, only to find out you couldn’t use the property like you thought you could? One buyer bought a home with a good-sized yard that he thought would be perfect for his large dogs to roam free.

Soon after the sale closed, he hired a contractor to construct a fence around the property. The day the work started, a neighbor showed up to inform the new homeowner that he couldn’t completely fence the property because of an easement that ran across his property. An easement grants property rights to someone other than the property owner.

Common easements are for ingress and egress, utilities and sewers. Easements must be kept unencumbered. In the case above, the easement provided the neighbors access to their property. A fence could not be built over the easement because it would deny the neighbor their rights to access.The property owner had to revise his fence design, which was disappointing. But, easements can be even more problematic, particularly if you assume there is an easement in favor of your property but there isn’t.

HOUSE HUNTING TIP: Make sure you have a clear understanding of the title issues affecting a property before you buy it. Title companies check the record and issue a title report that includes such things as the recorded owner and liens, easements and encumbrances affecting the property. Buyers should hire attorneys to search the title record and produce a report.
