Licensed in two states
CA→NC
I moved from California to Wake Forest myself. Now I help other people do it, and I help the folks already here buy and sell.
Start here
Buying from out of state
Moving to the Triangle from out of state
The due diligence fee, attorney closings, disclosures that say nothing, taxes billed backwards. The rules here are different, and nobody warns you.
Coming from California
Moving from California to North Carolina
What your money actually buys here, and the parts of the process that will catch a California buyer off guard.
Choosing a town
Wake Forest, Cary, Apex or Holly Springs
Four towns people constantly confuse, compared on price, commute and lot size. With the drawbacks left in.
What I do
I represent buyers and sellers across Wake Forest, Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina and the greater Triangle. First homes, move-up homes, luxury, and investment property.
A good share of my work is relocation, because I have done it. After 25 years in California I moved back to North Carolina to be close to my aging parents and my sister and her family. I kept my California license and added North Carolina, so when a family calls me from out west I am not guessing at what is ahead of them.
An offer here costs real money. That changes how you prepare.
Before real estate I served four years in the U.S. Navy, spent five years as a professional baseball umpire, and built and ran my own company. Those jobs taught me to stay composed when people disagree with the call, and to do what I said I would do. More about me.
