Relocating To The Greater Raleigh-Durham-Chapel
Hill Area
Congratulations. Welcome to one of the fastest growing and dynamic areas
in the entire country, home to three major universities (Duke, North Carolina
and North Carolina State), Research Triangle Park (a high technology development
zone), the North Carolina state capital (Raleigh) and much much more. This is
an exciting area in which to work, raise a family or even retire. And with the
Carolina coast to the east and the Appalachian and Smoky Mountains to the west,
it is also a great starting point for weekend trips and vacations.
The Relocation Blues
Like many of you, I have personally experienced corporate
relocation several times. I understand the emotions involved with spouses, children
and even pets. The enthusiasm at the prospect of moving to a new area is often
overshadowed by the frustration with all of the details of moving a household
of people across the country, across the state or even across town. I know those
feelings all too well.
My job is to help you make that transition as smoothly as possible.
I take great pride in my work and strive to make each and every real estate transaction
a pleasant experience. I know I am good at what I do - my clients tell me so!
(see client feedback)
General Information
There are, of course, many sources of general information.
My Area Links Page provides an excellent overview
of North Carolina and the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. If you have any questions,
by all means, contact me by email ,
general information request, phone or fax (see the numbers at the bottom of
this page). And if you would like a free relocation
information package mailed to your home, just click here!
Zeroing In On A Specific Area
I believe that direct communications between realtor and
client is by far the most complete and fastest method to zero in on your home
search. Between us, we can develop a plan that will allow you to target specific
communities and homes that are in line with your requirements and at a pace that
meets your schedule.
Hey...Where I Come From, They
Never Use This Type Of Construction
Finding a home to meet your needs is not an exact science,
especially if community standards, home styles and home prices vary widely from
your current location. Often times, a home search is delayed when a client spends
too much time comparing the new home to standards from another part of the country.
Take some time to review what you can expect to see in your price range at specific
communities. Your best guide to a good real estate value is comparison to home
prices in the immediate area.
New To The Area
If you are new to this area, there is no substitiute to
seeing it for yourself. Schedule a trip and if at all possible, bring your spouse.
Be prepared to spend 2-3 days looking at houses, schools and other p
oints of interest. The more research you do before scheduling
the trip, the more productive your time will be. Of course, this is a large geographical
area and you will need to have a good idea of where you want to target your search.
Corporate Relocation
My company, Howard Perry and Walston Realtors manages approximately
65% of all corporate relocation either into or from this area through Cendant
Mobility Network. We are honored to be the designated broker in this area for
Cendant. I am personally honored to be a member of the Cendant Mobility Listing
Team for my company. If your company uses Cendant Mobility for relocation services,
I can be your agent. Just mention my name to your Cendant representative.
Buying A Home
See my page on Buying A Home (for details on finding the
right home and closing the deal).
Note: The Buying A Home Page is still under construction!
Summary
You have targeted a great area for relocation. To make
the transition as smooth and painless as possible...
- Request a free Relocation Information
Package from me.
- Find out as much about the area as you can. Visit my
Area Info Page or use your favorite internet search engine to find additional
information.
- Visit the area as soon as possible and bring your spouse. Spend time in communities
that you are interested in.
- Spend time on your own checking out shopping, schools, driving distances,
and adjacent communities.
- Don't compare homes in this area to other parts of the country (unless of
course you are not sure you want to move here). Compare them to other homes in
the same community.
- Work with a highly qualified and successful real estate agent (me!). I can
save you time, help you target suitable communities and of course preview and
relay home information directly to you. Having personally experienced corporate
relocations and successfully assisting families doing the same, I am qualified
and motivated to make your relocation a positive experience!
I hope you find the information on this page useful. Of course,
your feedback and suggestions are always welcome and appreciated.
