PASSING THE BATON in a HOME SALE

Posted on by

Fred & Elizabeth Garrett lived in their Knollwood Heights home for 48 years before moving to Penick Village this past June. Kate Shinkwin, a real estate broker with Rhodes & Co. in Southern Pines, fell in love with the charm and character of Fred’s home, and now she and her husband, and two young children will be calling it their own home when they move in mid-September.

Fred’s story about his home and his 33+ year career at Sandhills Community College as well as the proactive relationship formed between Fred and Kate, as seller and buyer, is a story that is a pleasure to listen to.
