The EVENT formerly known as…

Mix and Mingle with The McDevitt Agency is back, and not a moment too soon!  If you missed the memo, the happy hour event has become a HUGE success.

The agency has received tons of inquiries from venues who want to host our future events.  Clients, customers, friends and family all look forward to the next.  Each event is bigger than the last.  Mix and Mingle has been imitated – the greatest form of flattery – down to the creation of a signature drink. Therefore, I would like to introduce Project Tuesday w/ The McDevitt Agency – a Tuesday evening cosmopolitan experience!

Project Tuesday will still be held on the first Tuesday of every other month at a local venue featuring complimentary hors devours, valet parking, amazing drink specials, and a great crowd!

Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in Uptown (222 S. Tryon Street)

is hosting the event on August 3rd, 2010 from 6 – 8pm on the patio.   Valet parking located directly in from of the restaurant.  Contact me for more information or questions about Project Tuesday.

Hope to see you there!

Mix & Mingle hosted by Vivace Charlotte!

It’s that time again!  So excited for our next Mix & Mingle with The McDevitt Agency.  The June 8th, 2010 event will be hosted by Vivace Charlotte at the Metropolitan. 

 The Agency and its guests will enjoy complimentary hors devours and drink specials in the upper lounge at Vivace.  The patio will be open (if the weather holds out) and should provide spectacular views of Uptown Charlotte. 

The socializing will begin at 6pm and is scheduled to end at 8pm.  However, based on past events, guests can linger as long as the restaurant/bar is open for business.

In the event our guests do not feel like parking your own car or you are running a bit behind, valet parking is available.  In addition, the restaurant is allowing us access to the full menu.

Vivace Charlotte is located at:

1100 Metropolitan Avenue. Building E

Suite 100

Charlotte, NC  28204

Please contact me if you have questions or need directions.  Hope to see you on June 8th!!

 

A Clean Condo for Rent!

It is very hard to lease or sell a property when it is dirty.  I recently listed a condo at Silo Urban Lofts for rent, and upon entering the condo, realized the place was an absolute mess!  Luckily, my seller understood my concern and allowed me to get the condo cleaned.  YES! 

Here are the new photos of the condo.  Please contact me if you are interested in viewing and/or leasing this property.

Thank you and Happy Memorial Day!

Silo Urban Lofts Condo for Rent!!!

NEW Rental listing today!!!  I have just listed a super cute loft in Uptown Charlotte! Silo Urban Lofts is located on the edge of 4th Ward. 

Very cool and hip uptown loft that provides one of the best skyline views inside the 277 Loop! Walking distance to all Uptown attractions and the growing Music Factory. Open layout, 10ft ceilings, built in desk, walls of windows, and a huge master closet make this unit an affordable option for Uptown living.

The owners have provided a couch, two televisions (one a flat screen), and a bed with the rental, but can have them removed if not needed.

Listed at $900/month!  Contact me with questions or to take a tour!

 

*Please note that the photos do not do the loft justice.  It is scheduled for professional cleaning and will have new photos taken afterward.

Do you Mix and Mingle?

Question: What is The McDevitt Agency?

Answer: A boutique firm of top-producing residential real estate brokers specializing in Center City Charlotte and its popular surrounding neighborhoods.

The agents at the firm work VERY HARD daily to provide the best service to our clients and customers.  We get involved with the community through volunteering and philanthropy.  We donate to charities throughout the city.  Okay, you get it.  We rock! 

Question: How do we engage our agency’s family; friends; clients and customers (past, present, and future); and vendors without “talking shop”?

Answer: Mix & Mingle with The McDevitt Agency!

The McDevitt Agency hosts Mix & Mingle, an after work mixer, with a local restaurant every other month.  The mixer is open to EVERYONE!  Our clients, friends, customers, vendors, family, and restaurant patrons can enjoy the amazing ambiance of the venue as well as complimentary hors devours. The venue also provides a drink special for the evening.

It’s a great opportunity to meet the agents and get to know a restaurant that may not have otherwise been on your radar!  Don’t get me wrong, you can ask Real Estate questions if you like, but it is not a requirement.

Our next Mix and Mingle with The McDevitt Agency will be held on June 8th, 2010 from 6 – 8pm at Vivace Italian Restaurant at The Metropolitan in Midtown.  Valet parking the parking deck will both be available as will  complimentary hors devours and drink specials!  Contact me with questions or if you need directions to the event.

 

Hope to see you there!

What an amazing week!

Real Estate is an unpredictable business in case you didn’t know.  As an agent/realtor/broker, you truly have little control over what happens daily.  You can list, market, inform and more, and at the end of the day, buyers and sellers will do what they want.

That being said, for me, hard work, prayer and drive have produced a great week!  I leased two condos that have been on the market, for what has seemed, a lifetime.  Okay, I may be exaggerating, but that’s what it felt like.  After at least 25 showings combined, both Royal Court and Jefferson Square have tenants!  Yeah!

In addition, I am in the process of listing TWO more rentals.  I still have one at The Village Lofts to rent, and thankfully, received great news from the seller.  The owners will convert the convection oven to a standard range/oven.  This was the biggest obstacle during this listing.  I’ve had at least 3 offers on this condo and once the prospect tenant realized a convection oven was installed, they went away.  Hopefully, this news will get this great condo leased as well. Please contact me if you have, or know of anyone, who has interest in this property.  www.TheVillageLofts.com

Okay, so hopefully, my next post will be good news that this condo will be leased as well.  Please contact me at sophia@themcdevittagency.com if you have interest or questions. 

Hope you have a great week. Thanks for reading!

Ready to Rock in 2010!

Hey peeps!  It’s been a LONG time.  A year to be exact.  I have been incognito mosquito.  Didn’t mean to be.  Just busy. 

What’s been happening?  This post may be a complete mess by the time I finish answering that questions, but I will do my best.

The agency is booming!  I am so proud and excited to be a part of The McDevitt Agency.  Activity has picked up tremendously.  To say we are busy, is an understatement!

I am, personally, more busy than I have ever been.  The Rental Division is official.  Buyers are coming out of the wood work.  Sellers are motivated.  Now, I am still the “rookie” of the agency, but I see a bright, successful future in Real Estate!

I am working on my website – the frugal, mcdougal way.  In today’s Real Estate environment, you have to be smart about your advertising dollars. I will keep you posted about the website progress. 

In the meantime, I will make more of an effort to utilize my Blog.  Real Estate is my passion and I would like to share it and become a resource for those of you that are interested. If you have ideas about what you would like to see on my blog, please email me at Sophia@themcdevittagency.com.  I will do my best to accommodate your request.  This blog is a work in progress, so don’t be surprised if it changes often.  I also get bored easily.  ;-)
