Members of the Point have voted to sell the club to Donald Trump

Members of the Point have voted to sell the club to Donald Trump. The deal is expected to close in April and the club will be renamed Trump National Golf Club Charlotte. For homeowners who are thinking of selling now is a great time to put your home on the market as there are buyers and not a lot of inventory. For buyers there are some special deals that the Trumps are bringing that I won't detail here. What a great time for buyers and sellers.... right now!!

I expect home values values to rise over time compared to the other golf course communities as the Trumps will truly make The Point Golf course better and the club to belong to in the greater Charlotte area. For the many folks who golf and are relocating to the area, their search starts based on golf courses and many compare River Run, The Peninsula, Ballantyne, The Point Lake and Golf Club, and Sailview. Trump National Golf Club Charlotte will surely attract the attention of those buyers who  are relocating to a golf course community.

Be careful choosing Realtors who do not live in The Point, they aren't familiar with the finer details of the Clubs rules and regulations and many other details such as HOA restrictions and more, information that you only get by living in The Point for years and being involved in many of the committees.

Trumps would buy home in Charlotte if golf course deal goes through

My sources are saying Trump buying the club probably a pretty good bet.

From Mecklenburg Times
It’s part of a company practice, Eric Trump says

By Deon Roberts, editor

Published: August 5, 2011

Donald Trump, or at least someone in his family, could have a Queen City address in the near future.
But it’s contingent on the Trumps going through with a purchase of a Mooresville golf course, his son Eric told The Mecklenburg Times this week.The Mooresville deal is still very much up in the air, like a golf ball that’s soaring high above the course, with no one knowing yet where it will land. A year ago, the Trump organization said it was eyeing a purchase of The Point Lake and Golf Club, an 18-hole course next to Lake Norman. The club’s equity members own the club, but Crescent Communities, a division of Charlotte-based Crescent Resources, controls it. Eric Trump, 27, who oversees golf course purchases for the Trump organization, told The Meck Times on Tuesday that his company is still interested in buying The Point. He did not provide an estimate as to when the deal might wrap up. “It’s way too premature to even talk about closing or even finishing a transaction,” he said. But if the Trumps buy The Point, they’d like to buy a Charlotte-area home, “something nearby,” he said, so that they would have a place to stay when checking on the course. “Historically, we have always bought residential real estate around our properties for our own private use,” he said.

ForSalebyOwner.com founder gives up on own listing, hires real estate broker

oh the irony....

Founder and former CEO of ForSalebyOwner.com, Colby Sambrotto listed his 2,000 square foot New York condominium on his own through online classified ads and FSBO sites, but after six months, he opted to hire New York broker Jesse Buckler who immediately advised a price change as the listing was not attracting the right buyer.
After giving up on the DIY route, Sambrotto’s decision to hire a broker led to attracting multiple offers, closing for $150,000 over the original asking price. The Wall Street Journal reports the listing sold for $2.15 million including a 6% commission. READ MORE
