Charlotte Area Business: Continued Growth and a Promising Future
 Bank of America |
Bustling with economic and commercial
activity, our city is one of the most rapidly growing metropolitan areas in the
nation. Charlotteserves as the subsidiary
headquarters for many national and international companies, with abundant
office space available throughout the city.
First and foremost, Charlotte is a banking city. In fact, it's the second largest
financial center in the country, behind only New York. Two of the nation's
largest banks, First Union and Bank of America, are headquartered here.
Our city is also a major player in the area
of manufacturing. In addition to traditional industries such as textiles and
furniture, electronics, printing, plastics, industrial machinery and metal
working companies have also developed a strong presence in the area. And
international trade has become increasingly important with the Charlotte Foreign Trade Zone and an inland port
located right here.
A large part of our economic success is
spurred along by the fact that Charlotte
is a major transportation hub for the rest of the nation. We have a modern,
expanded international airport terminal and also serve as the center of the
country's largest consolidated rail system. All these positive economic factors
add up to continued growth and a promising future for Charlotte area business. Explore the following links to find

Real Estate Contracts >The Sales Price
After your search for a house and all the negotiations are over, you arrive at the the sales price. Finally, you feel some certainty about your bottom line. However, it is not unusual for there to be disagreements about what is included in the sales price. Careful drafting of the paperwork can help to avoid future disputes.
The following definitions may help. Real property is land and any permanent attachments, such as buildings, landscaping and fences. Personal property consists of movable possessions, such as furniture and clothing. A fixture is defined as an item of personal property which has become part of the real property by virtue of becoming permanently attached, such as a new sink, a Jacuzzi, or a chandelier.
The principal area of dispute about the sales price often relates to fixtures. Most preprinted real estate contracts will provide space for the fixtures to be listed. Whether you are selling or buying, you should make use of this space. Do not assume curtains, satellite discs, antennas or fireplace equipment come with the house. You should also make it very clear what you don't want left on the property. If you are specific about every item that may be questionable, you will greatly reduce the chances of a dispute after the closing.
