Largest Stadium

Even though football is widely considered an American sport, the stadiums in which the games are played are not as large as some other event centers throughout the world. North Korea's May Day Stadium, for example, seats over 150,000 for soccer games and other events, surpassing other notable stadiums such as the University of Michigan's football stadium (largest in the US with 107,000 seats) and the Louisiana Superdome (approximately 75,000 seats) in size. In sports and real estate, bigger is truly better!

The Country To The North

Despite the common perception of Canada being our friend to the North, two major American cities - both Seattle and Minneapolis - are located further north than Toronto, Canada's largest city.

Early California Real Estate

With more than 5 million visitors a year, California's Spanish missions remain one of the state's most popular tourist attractions. Despite being a core element in the curriculum of schools throughout the state, most people are still unaware that 19 of the 21 missions are funded not by the state but by charitable donations for their maintenance. So if you're in the mood to appreciate some historical real estate design, go visit your nearest California mission.

Suspend Your Disbelief

A bridge can make any piece of land seem regal, which may explain why the world's highest suspension bridge is the Royal Gorge bridge in Colorado. Spanning a canyon over the Arkansas River, the suspension is actually a bridge to nowhere, considering it connects to a road that circles around the canyon and ends up right back where it started!

Earthquake-Proof Homes

In the event you're caught inside a house during an earthquake, it's best if the house is supported by steel frames, right? Wrong! Recent studies have shown that in areas of substantial seismic activity, straw bale construction holds up better than any other type of structure. With its combination of strength and durability, straw bale homes are better equipped to absorb the shock of an earthquake than more traditionally rigid building materials.

The King's Palace

Believe it or not, the most visited historic home in the U.S. doesn’t belong to a former president or movie star. Boasting over 600,000 visitors a year, Elvis Presley’s Graceland is apparently the number one destination for tourists and home enthusiasts alike.

Shop Till You Fly!

Unlike most other airports, Pittsburgh International has converted its concourses into plane-side shopping malls, earning it the title of best airport for business travelers, according to a highly-respected travel magazine. What was once considered just another boring layover can now be enjoyed in style…provided you don’t max out your credit cards.

That's A Lot Of Walking

If you thought walking through the nearest shopping mall was bad, consider this: one of the world’s largest commercial structures, the Chicago Merchandise Mart, looms 25 stories high and spans two city blocks with over 13 miles of corridors. While nowhere near record-holding by today’s standards, back when it was built in 1931 it was easily the largest commercial building in the world.

Drilling For Oil

Contrary to popular belief, the U.S. is one of the largest oil-producing nations in the world, with an average daily production of around 8 million barrels. But because the production comes from around 533,000 wells scattered from Alaska to Louisiana, the average oil well produces just under 17 barrels per day. So next time you're using your gas-powered stovetop in your home, remember how much work went into that meal!

The World's Largest Mall

Contrary to popular belief, the world's largest mall is not Bloomington Minnesota's Mall of America. That title goes to the West Edmonton Mall in Alberta, Canada. With over 5.2 million square feet of space, West Edmonton Mall is over twice as large as Mall of America.

While you may not believe in superstitions, the developers of some of the world’s most prominent buildings evidently do. According to a recent study, over 85% of the tallest structures around the globe do not have a 13th floor.

For the child in all of us, it may be reassuring to know that citizens of Urbana, Illinois have made it illegal for monsters to reside within city limits. While local kids may sleep easier, there’s still no word on whether or not the law has scared up property values.

The Most Expensive Home

According to a highly-respected economic journal, the most expensive home listed for sale in recent memory was the Palm Beach, Florida estate of Nelson Peltz, Chairman of the Triarc Group. Listed at the reasonable price of $75 million, the stately manor has yet to be sold. And you thought your mortgage payment was high...

Mud Houses

Recently, the popularity of adobe-style homes has seen a resurgence. These homes are built from real adobe – bricks made of mud & straw – that is left to dry out in the sun. Because of their excellent insulation and protection from dry climates, these homes are extremely popular in the Southwest.

Questionable Bathing Habits

While many of us take for granted having more than one shower or bathtub in our home, the citizens of a small town called Prunedale, California, have actually made it illegal for anyone to have more than one bathtub in their property. To this date, however, there is no documentation explaining why….

Laminated Flooring

Nowadays we may take it for granted, but long ago, laminated flooring was considered a luxury. The idea for the flooring actually came from its tabletop counterpart, introduced by a Swedish manufacturer in 1923. It wasn’t until over 70 years later that laminated flooring was first brought to the United States. Just in case you were wondering….

World's Tallest Structure

While many Americans believe the Empire State Building is the largest building in North America, Canada actually has the tallest commercial structure in the world. The CN (Canadian National) Tower rises 182 stories over downtown Toronto. Originally built in 1976 as a communications structure, the tower was also designed as a monument to Canadian industry and ingenuity, and is a symbol of national pride for our neighbors to the north.

Vacant Land, Risky Investment

Surprisingly, most experts consider vacant land to be one of the riskier investments in real estate. While most other types of property provide either shelter or a source of income, vacant land is 100% speculative, making it a high-risk/high-reward gamble for investors.

You Can't Do That In Denver

If by some chance you happen to find yourself visiting a house in Denver anytime soon, try to ignore any dust or dirt you may see on the carpet. The city has a longstanding ordinance that outlaws the loaning of any vacuum cleaner to a neighbor. The reasons behind the ordinance, however, have yet to be disclosed.

Closing Time

With all the hard work and effort involved in the home-buying process, no step is more stressful than closing the deal. Our clients are always surprised at the overwhelming amount of paperwork they’re presented with at the table. Combine that with the pressure of making the biggest transaction of your life, and it’s no wonder many closings go awry.

That’s why I should go over any and all of your issues before we even approach the closing stage. Why put yourself in a position to fail? Call or email me and let’s work together to make closing time a success!

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Being a homeowner has benefits far beyond the pride that accompanies owning your property. Aside from the obvious satisfaction that comes from being a homeowner, there’s also the fact that each mortgage payment you make is an investment in your future. And with the housing market continuing to retain its momentum, there remains a strong potential to build up equity in your home.

In fact, most of my first-time buyers are unaware of the many tax benefits to homeownership, considering any accumulated interest on your mortgage is one of the most rewarding tax breaks available to Americans. Call or email me to hear more about making your home work for you!

Home Inspection and Warranties

An investment of any size should always be supported by an inspection, and nowhere is this more true than in real estate. Yet many of my first-time buyers are so eager to get into their property that they overlook this crucial step.

Who's The Boss?

In many regions throughout the country, real estate law states that a licensed agent may represent either party in any transaction, and in some cases both parties or neither party. In addition, full disclosure of dual agency qualifies the agent for compensation on either side of the transaction...

...confused yet?

Countless closings have been adjourned by clients who were unaware of the compensation due to the real estate agents, simply because the agent didn’t take the time to thoroughly explain the many types of agency at work in any real estate transaction. Call or email me and I’d be happy to explore the many ways in which I can assist you in your purchase.

The Mortgage Question

You’ve searched through listing after listing. You’ve gone to more open houses than you can count. You’ve asked so many questions you can’t remember the answers. And then, after weeks, months, sometimes years of searching, you find your dream home. Now what?

Many of my first-time buyers are overwhelmed by the seemingly endless amount of numbers and jargon involved in real estate lending. From the interest rates to the closing costs and everything in between, oftentimes my clients have trouble making sense of it all. That’s why it makes perfect sense to have someone whose experience and knowledge in real estate can help them make more informed decisions. Call or email me and we can sort it out together.
