The North Carolina Real Estate Commission mandates that upon first significant meeting with a customer (you) that we disclose how agency works in our State.
I will ask you to sign this disclosure upon our first meeting.
IT IS NOT A CONTRACT!
Your signature simply acknowledges receipt of the disclosure.
I would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
If you are wanting to buy a house or land, go talk to your bank, someone else's bank or a mortgage broker.
I can give you some referrals and then YOU do your due diligence.
Not sure what to do? Let's talk about the issues surrounding a move and whether or not this is the right time.
We'll look at the market, talk about finances and any physical barriers to staying or not staying in your home.
I have many resources to help.
Once you've decided you are ready to fly the coop, I can help plan the timing and logistics of preparing you and the property for the market.
I can help with references for senior moving experts.
These companies understand the emotions around moving from a home you've lived in for decades.
I have also volunteered as a Meals On Wheels driver and worked at the Chatham County Council on Aging as Development and Communications Director from 2016-2019.
I have extensive work with seniors and understand their aging circumstances and choices.
I'm familiar with aging-in-place options, assisted living and Continuing Care Retirement Community options in our area.
When getting your house ready for the market, there are a few things to think about.
Decluttering and cleaning are a must, but what else?
Consider getting a home inspection and tackling any issues that come up.
The buyer will get their own inspection, but you will be ahead of the game.
And when buyers see you have had an inspection and made repairs, that will instill confidence in you.
When the time comes for negotiating your contract, you'll have a better idea about your bottom line and hopefully no surprise expenses.
