🏡 VA BUYERS...THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY WORTH EXPLORING!

📍 739 Greenwich Place | Richlands, NC

💰 Offered at $339,000

🔑 Assumable VA Loan at 5.5% Interest!

For qualified buyers with available VA entitlement, this home offers an opportunity to assume the seller's existing VA loan with a relatively LOW CASH-TO-CLOSE EQUITY GAP!

But here's what many buyers don't realize: The interest rate isn't the ONLY potential benefit of assuming a VA loan!

✅ Lower Interest Rate: Take over the seller's existing 5.5% interest rate, which is more favorable than current financing options.

✅ Potentially Lower Closing Costs: VA assumptions often have fewer lender fees, and the VA funding fee is just 0.5% of the outstanding loan balance for nonexempt buyers.

✅ Existing Escrow Balance Transfer: the existing escrow balance may transfer with the loan, potentially reducing the amount needed to establish escrow reserves at closing.

✅ Typically No New VA Appraisal Required: That's potentially one less expense and one less hurdle in the buying process!

✅ Remaining Loan Term: Take over the existing loan's remaining repayment term rather than starting over with a new 30-year mortgage.

⏳ What's the catch?

VA loan assumptions can take approximately 45–90 days, sometimes longer, depending on the loan servicer and approval process. But for buyers who have flexibility with their timeline, the potential savings may make the wait worthwhile!

NOT INTERESTED IN ASSUMING THE LOAN? THERE'S ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY!

Through our preferred lender, Alpha Mortgage, qualified buyers may benefit from their Listing Booster incentive, offering:

✨ 1% toward closing costs OR

✨ A temporary 1-0 interest rate buydown, helping lower your mortgage payment during the first year!

Whether you're exploring a VA assumption or traditional financing, my goal is to help you understand your options and make the most informed financial decision.

Local expertise. Global reach. The power of Sotheby's International Realty. 🌎

One of the greatest advantages of being a Sotheby's International Realty agent is knowing that no matter where I am in the world, I have the strength, reputation, and connections of an extraordinary global brand behind me.

Today, I had the privilege of joining Premier Sotheby's International Realty in Charlotte for their sales meeting, building relationships and making connections that extend far beyond my local coastal North Carolina market.

For me, these connections are about more than networking. They're about providing my clients with the same level of exceptional service and representation they've come to expect from me, no matter where life takes them.

Whether you're buying or selling here along the Carolina coast, relocating across the country, or exploring opportunities internationally, I can confidently connect you with trusted professionals who share my commitment to excellence.

That's the power of the Sotheby's network. It's not just about where I do business. It's about where I can take care of my clients.

Local Knowledge. Global Connections. Exceptional Representation.

Did you know?????

Before Topsail Island became everyone’s favorite spot for quiet beach walks and morning coffee, it had a rather noisy past. 🚀

Back in 1946, the U.S. Navy and Johns Hopkins University picked our peaceful barrier island for Operation Bumblebee, a top-secret program testing early supersonic ramjet missiles. They built the Assembly Building (now the wonderful Missiles and More Museum) and test-fired over 200 rockets right off a concrete launchpad by the ocean (which today happens to be a patio!). Those tall, mysterious concrete towers you see scattered along the island? Navy observation posts from a time when beach days came with a side of rocket science.

Who knew relaxing on the beach meant sitting right on top of aviation history? ✨

Have you ever visited the Missiles and More Museum or spotted one of the observation towers on your walk? Tell us below! 👇

THIS. ❤️ This is why I love what I do!

A couple of years ago, I had the privilege of helping this sweet blended family purchase their home. Fast forward to today, and I get a message like this. 🥹

They're ENGAGED!!! And right in the driveway of the home I helped them purchase! And...they wanted to share that moment with me?!?!

Real estate has never been just about selling houses for me. It's about the people, the relationships, and the connections made along the way.

I get to be a small part of some pretty big moments in people's lives. From buying their first home to growing their families, celebrating milestones, and everything in between.

But what makes it even more special? When those relationships continue long after the closing table.

Years later, they still think to include me in their life's special moments. And that means more to me than they'll ever know.

I may help people find houses, but the relationships I build along the way are what make this career so rewarding.

Congratulations to this beautiful couple! I'm so excited for this next chapter of your story and so very honored to have been a part of it!

✨ Sometimes it's not about finding a new community… it's about finding the perfect home to continue your story. 🏡❤️

My clients LOVE where they live, but as life evolves, so do our needs!

Already proud Summerhouse residents, my clients were dreaming of an elevated coastal home with more space for their growing family. When the perfect opportunity hit the market, they knew it was exactly what they'd been waiting for!

Knowing a home like this wouldn't last long, we moved quickly and came in strong, securing the home they had their hearts set on! 🙌

From contract to closing, everything came together seamlessly, making for a smooth transaction and a quick, stress-free closing!

Because Summerhouse isn't just a neighborhood… it's a lifestyle, a community, and a place people are proud to call home. 🌴☀️ Those who have the privilege of living here know just how special it truly is!

🥂 Congratulations to my amazing clients! Here's to more space, new memories, and the next chapter of your story in a community you already love! ❤️

🏡 SOLD | 558 White Shoal Way 🔑

A slower market doesn't mean you can't have a successful sale. Strategy matters!

In today's slower, unpredictable real estate market, it's easy to assume that selling a home means price reductions, concessions, or making compromises to get to the closing table.

But that wasn't the case for my sellers at 558 White Shoal Way! 🎉

📍 52 days on the market

🏡 Just 6 showings

💰 ZERO price reductions

🤝 Strong offer with NO seller concessions

🔨 NO repairs

📅 Closed exactly on my sellers' timeline!

The difference? Proper pricing, strategic positioning, and patience.

With buyers being more selective and homes taking longer to sell, it's more important than ever to understand the market and position a property correctly from day one.

We didn't chase the market with price reductions. We stayed focused on the strategy, trusted the process, and ultimately secured an offer that met my sellers' goals without sacrificing their bottom line.

I'm incredibly grateful my sellers trusted me to guide them through this process and thrilled we were able to get them to the closing table on their terms!

Thinking about selling? The market may be challenging, but that doesn't mean your selling experience has to be. Having the right strategy and representation makes all the difference.

📲 Let's talk about what that could look like for your home!

PSA for anyone who bought a home this year!
You may receive something like this in the mail — don’t stress! 😅
If your property taxes are escrowed with your mortgage, your mortgage servicer should handle the payment from your escrow account. Receiving a tax bill in the mail doesn’t necessarily mean you need to pay it yourself.
Before making a payment, check your mortgage/escrow account or contact your mortgage servicer to confirm the bill has been received and is scheduled for payment. You definitely don’t want to pay it twice!
Just a little homeowner reminder because getting a tax bill in the mail can definitely make your heart skip a beat. 😂🏡
Save this or share it with someone who purchased a home this year!
