Our topic today is seen through the eyes of John Tampa, a Southern Pines resident for 14 years. With a move to Winston-Salem in the works due to job transfers, John and his wife Julie, put their Southern Pines home on the market for sale, while at the same time starting a home search in the Winston-Salem area. The story started in early March at the Tampa’s dining room table, and now with the their home sold, they move on to Winston-Salem for their home closing in early June.
Their experience is shared with Fore Properties broker, Christian McCarthy, who was there at that early March pre-listing meeting and throughout the process, and local lender, Laura Glasby of Southern Trust Mortgage, who assisted the Tampa’s with their financing for their Winston Salem purchase.
The conversation about the Tampas’ specific processes and experiences serve as a backdrop for the bigger picture that is full of great tips for buyers and sellers who are in the market or planning to get into the market in the near future.
