An Interview with

Pam Boileau

of Ivester Jackson Distinctive Properties Pam Boileau has over 27 years of sales/marketing expertise, unsurpassed negotiation skills and a solid business acumen having owned one of the Charlotte region’s largest ad/PR firms. A resident of the Charlotte area for 34 years, Pam is incredibly knowledgeable about the area. We heard more about one of her exciting listings and much more. See below!

Pam, how did you get your start in the real estate industry?

After over 25 years as founder and sole owner of an internationally recognized Charlottebased marketing communications firm, I decided to transition my business. I met with Lori Ivester Jackson as I knew she was very connected with the Lake Norman community and was highly regarded. After our discussion, she said I would be an excellent broker if I went to school, received my license and joined her firm. I signed up for real estate school that afternoon and seven years later, have thoroughly enjoyed the profession and have been blessed to work with many (old and new) friends and business associates.

What would you say sets you apart from other agents?

Since I have always been entrepreneurial, professional and highly detailed-oriented, the transition from running an advertising, public relations and social media firm to working as a real estate broker was quite seamless. Those years of experience in running a business, working closely with clients, thinking strategically, and marketing numerous services have been the foundation of my success. I work tirelessly to support my buyers and sellers and no challenge or obstacle is too difficult!

How would you describe the current luxury market in Cornelius?

The Lake Norman luxury market has experienced tremendous growth—especially over the last two years. Plus, all indicators are that 2021 will be even stronger. Unfortunately, our downfall is that we need more inventory.

In the $2+ million market, we are experiencing unprecedented sales as buyers are coming from all over the U.S. - especially CA, FL and NY/New England states. People are looking for a safe and serene lifestyle which is exactly what the Lake Norman area offers. After all, who doesn't love being out on the water and ending your day by watching yet another spectacular sunset!

This stunning home at 21123 Torrence Chapel Rd is currently featured on “Selling Mega Mansions" - could you tell us a little more about that?

The producers of the internationally acclaimed reality TV show "Selling Mega Mansions" contacted me many months ago as they were interested in featuring my listing in a segment that would start airing on the network AWE (formerly Wealth TV) in the first quarter of this year. Since that time, it continues to run in Segment Five as the "Enchanted Castle." This magnificent home is one of four listed in North Carolina and is the first time that the show has ever featured properties in our state!

What are some of the ways in which this home is perfect for intimate gatherings as well as large scale entertaining?

Designed for entertaining inside and out, this spectacular estate property is situated on over five acres of lush landscaped lawns and natural hardwood forests. The main home's open floor plan features a massive chef's kitchen, gathering rooms and several covered terraces and balconies. As an extension of the family's love for entertaining small and large groups, a massive outdoor living room and guest suite were added four years ago along with a spectacular infinity pool, spa and sports court.

Is there a certain type of homebuyer that would be interested in this property?

This home is perfect for those seeking total privacy but also convenience... to shopping, restaurants, healthcare and entertainment venues. Approximately 3 acres are gated and fenced. The property is less than 10 minutes to The Peninsula Club and Peninsula Yacht Club, 20 minutes to uptown Charlotte and 25 minutes to the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport.

CO N N E C T YO U R Interior Design with Better Sleep

Interior design sets the tone, mood, and ambiance of a room. And, there’s no room where that’s more important than one with such a specific purpose as the bedroom. The quality and length of your sleep cycle can be heavily influenced by everything from the light location and levels to the wall color and artwork. Sleep success has psychological roots that interior design can either help or hinder. Making that connection between design and purpose can help you get the full seven to nine hours of sleep you need every night. And we’ve got some tips to help.

SLEEP-ENHANCING COLOR PALETTE

Cool neutrals—the grays, whites, and pastel blues and greens—don’t overstimulate the eyes and calm the mind and body. They’re a favorite in the bedroom because of their psychological impact.

ONBOARD NATURE The barrier between the natural world and living spaces continues to thin. Time spent in nature reduces stress and anxiety, which nature-inspired design can also do. There are obvious choices like artwork that directly depicts nature in the form of landscapes, photographs, and sculptures. But, nature can enter the room through more creative and subtle means as well.

Lamps, rugs, pillows with floral motifs, or organic design elements with shapes and colors of nature can relax the mind and body too. Natural fabrics like cotton and linen with their soft textures and earthy vibe simulate the calm of a nature walk.

Natural elements don’t have to be soft or visually soothing to benefit sleep. Brick, stone, sand, and houseplants can be beneficial too. They also open the door for self-expression and a unique take on what it means to blend the indoors with the out.

FOCUS ON THE BED As the largest piece of furniture in the bedroom, the bed is often, though not always, the focal point. It should also be the most inviting space.

Soft textures, luxurious pillows in all sizes, and throws that add dimension create a bed that’s hard to exist. The design should also have the practical in mind. Yes, extra pillows make you want to jump on the bed, but make sure there are enough functional pillows that you can keep your spine aligned while you sleep.

H AV E N L I F E ST Y L E S .CO M

Author Bio: Samantha Kent is a researcher for SleepHelp.org.

Her favorite writing topic is how getting enough sleep can improve your life. Currently residing in Boise, Idaho, she sleeps in a California King bed, often with a cat on her face.

However, when choosing a color palette, you also have to take into account your personal, ethnic, and cultural experiences and preferences. Any color with which you have a negative connotation could potentially affect your ability to fall asleep. A color, with which you associate peace and calm even if it’s bright red, could benefit you. The key is to create a palette that reduces stress and calms your mind and body.

CONTROL NATURAL LIGHT Nature in the bedroom is a good thing.

However, there are certain aspects that need to be carefully monitored and controlled because of the way they affect the sleep cycle. Natural light, for example, can suppress sleep hormones. Whether it’s sunlight from an early summer morning or moonlight in the winter, natural light is absorbed by the eyes and sent directly to the circadian region of the brain where it triggers the “awake” signal.

Bedrooms with a wall of windows need sufficient window coverings to block out all light at night.

Artificial light needs just as much consideration. Any task lighting should point away from or be diffused as it nears the bed. Dimmer switches are a simple way to provide ambient light control as bedtime grows near.

Good bedroom design balances beauty with practicality. Walking into your bedroom should feel like a release from stress and pressure. Design that makes you feel like you’ve stepped out of the world into your personal retreat is one that will support your sleep for years to come.

Tips To Move Across The Country With Your Family

You need to be careful when it comes to moving across the country with a family. You’re going to want to take this a step at a time, so everything goes well for you. Here, you’re going to get the tips you need to start moving as soon as possible to your new home.

BOXES & PACKING Moving is something you need to pack for, and when you pack, it has to be done right. First, you’re going to need to figure out where you’re going to get boxes from.

One idea is to go to a local grocery store to ask them if they can give you a few boxes. Many stores go through tons of boxes every day, and they recycle them so they will provide them with a way to save themselves a bit of work. You may also be able to find moving boxes in bulk that you can purchase online, so shop around if that’s how you’re going to get what you need.

When packing, you’re going to want to make sure you label all of your boxes in the right manner. You don’t want to rush through and put things that are fragile in boxes that are not marked as such, or else you won’t be careful with whatever you have in the boxes. Even if a company is packing for you, tell them you want everything labeled. Generally, professionals will label boxes, but it doesn’t hurt to remind them to do so if they aren’t for some reason.

CHOOSING MOVING COMPANY Many moving companies can help you move if you don’t want to do all of your work. If you’re going to hire people to help, you have to make sure that they are charging a price that is worth it. Make sure you let them know that you’re doing a cross country move so they can give you a more accurate price quote. Also, a guide to cross country moving tips can help you to find the best and reliable professional movers for your move. Don’t just go with the first company you find because it pays to shop around and see who has the best

HAVENLIFESTYLES.COM

prices and avoid it because they charge too much.

Don’t just hire a moving service based on price, however, you also need to find out if they will be worth your money to work with based on the quality of service they provide. If you want to learn more about the quality of service you’re going to get, you’re going to want to look up reviews on a company to get the information you need. When looking at reviews, please make sure they are recent, so they are likely to be still true of the company if anything has changed with them recently.

any service, including moving.

DOING THE RESEARCH When moving on your own without help, you’re going to want to know if you can return your moving truck to a place in or around the city you’re moving into. Don’t get stuck in a moving truck that you can’t return without driving it far away. Many moving truck companies operate out of most major cities, and some are in smaller areas. When working with a moving truck service, make sure that you read reviews

TECH FOR THE MOVE If you’re moving far away with kids, they’re going to need something to do in your vehicle as you travel to your next home.

For instance, you can let them use a tablet to play a few games you downloaded before moving, and that should keep them busy for a while. But, if you go with electronics, make sure you have a way to recharge them when running out of battery power. There are many excellent vehicle chargers, so look into that to have things charging while driving your vehicle.

SIGNING UP FOR EMAILS There are a lot of options when it comes to moving; you’re just going to want to make sure that you know if a company has specials or not. Sometimes, if you go to the website of someone that does moving work, you can get a deal on their services.

For some websites, you’re going to want to make it a point to sign up for the email marketing list they have in place, so you know when they have some deals. Don’t think that you have to pay full price because sometimes you can find deals on

to only work with companies worth the investment.

Now you’re more aware of what you have to do when you want to move across the country with a family. Don’t rush this because you don’t want to make costly mistakes. Just use what you learned here, and in the end, you’ll do just fine.

Sustainable Home Designs Taking Over

1.

Natural Materials A serene environment is easily achievable with the use of natural materials like wood, stone and concrete. These materials lay the foundation of an organic landscape evoking a calming energy. With wood, veer towards lighter shades to create an open and airy space that reflects light. Concrete accents work well to add a flourish of a naturalistic look without going for the obvious with concrete flooring or fixtures. While using stone for countertops or walls reflects a modern twist to a room’s appearance.

26

Green is in - and that’s one design trend everyone seems to be in agreement with. Environmental conscientiousness is at the forefront of almost every discussion and interior design is capitalizing on the opportunity to infuse nature-friendly aspects into the home. We’ve rounded up the top sustainable home designs popping up.

The allure of rich colors to illuminate the home has taken root in the design sphere...

2.

Earth Tones

Gone are muted tones and taking its place are earthy hues. Saturate your home in shades of yellow, brown and red. The allure of rich colors to illuminate the home has taken root in the design sphere with the popular colors showing up everywhere.

3.

Living Walls The popularity of decorating with plants has exploded with plants of every kind being used to inject natural elements in the home. Taking things a step further, is the “living wall.” This vertical garden - if you will - is great to add a unique design feature to the home. If you’re short on space, this is a creative way to use greenery in your design plans without creating clutter. Yet this design trend goes beyond aesthetic - the functionality of this design is it improves air quality and improves health.

4.

Green Roofs Another trend that strengthens the move to biophilia is creating green roofs. A slew of luxury buildings opening up in hot ticket locations like New York City, Dallas, Chicago and Miami have been quick to adopt the trend. Like living walls, green roofs offer practical benefits. They are much more durable than standard roofs and more energy efficient.
