This ain’t a kitchen. This is our conference room, designed around the queen of Pinterest before there was the internet, Mrs. Betty Feezor. Selling your home in North Carolina can be a stressful experience. In order for your most important asset ...

Welcome back, folks! It’s time for another Leigh Brown PSA. This is Part 3 of our series, "Things That Millennials Should Know How to Do But Probably Don’t" and today’s ...

The heart of the home has always been the kitchen. (I’m sure there is some cave art over in France that shows this from the earliest days of human recordings!) You have a party, people wind up in the kitchen...

Are you someone who has figured out that renting in the Charlotte market right now is much more expensive than buying? If you are thinking about pulling the trigger and buying a house in 2018 there is one thing you need...

Destin Sparks, an award-winning landscape photographer, once said, "." That is exactly how we feel at Leigh Brown & Associates. We can tell a story about our team... we can tell you a story about the homes we have for sale... or the properties... but without photographs, the words do not mean as much.

If you believe the predictions, our area is in for some snowy conditions this month and on into February, therefore we felt compelled to put together a list of 10 fun things to do when you have a snow day.

I was asked to share the books that have meant the most to my success in real estate and sales, so here they are!

Multiple offers, low inventory, or maybe the right house is sitting there and you're not able to get it for whatever reason.

Ever wanted to take a peek inside a $39,900 foreclosure?

It was that morning when the dress I had planned in my head to wear wouldn’t zipthat I had to try something. I’m in shape, I run, I work out, I don’t drink soda, this issomething more.
