Life In Wake Forest NC.....

Make It Right 9 - THIS is What Is Important To Me!

Wed, 10 Dec 2008 16:07:19 -0800

I know that each of us has a charity and/or cause that is near and dear to our hearts. I have several but one that I am extremely passionate about is Make It Right 9. Since it's inception I have been there. I have watched the people reach out, the homes being built and the lives being restored. I have blogged about it before and in case you have missed the posts - here they are again.

Make It Right 9 - They Need Us!

So, What DOES Raleigh and Brad Pitt Have in Common???

Today I received a "Thank You" email that really touched my heart. It was an update on the projects, a recap of the progress and a reinstatement of the vision. I wanted to share that email with you:

Make It Right Welcomes Residents Back Home for the Holidays

Dear Make It Right Community,

This holiday season we are celebrating the return of families into new Make It Right homes in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans.

In honor of those families and the many supporters who helped us reach this milestone, we want to say thank you on behalf of the Make It Right community. You have helped make this a very special holiday season for families who lost so much during Hurricane Katrina.

For former residents of the Lower 9th Ward still trying to return home, this is why Make It Right exists. More than three years after Hurricane Katrina, many residents of this community are still displaced and struggling to rebuild their lives. We started the Make It Right Foundation to provide a hand up to those families who desire to return home and to help preserve the unique culture, heritage and spirit of the Lower 9th Ward.

With your generous support, we can continue to rebuild a neighborhood of safe, sustainable, and affordable homes in one of the hardest hit communities in Louisiana.

Thank You and Happy Holidays,

Tom Darden
Executive Director

Please consider Make It Right in your "End of Year" giving plans.
DONATE NOW

I wanted to take a few minutes of your time to ask that you please visit the Make It Right 9 website and see for yourself the passion, determination and committment that this foundation epitomizes. Even as the years pass my heart breaks everytime I receive an update email, wear my Make It Right 9 t-shirt and visit the website. While time normally heals all wounds this is one wound that has gone much deeper and will resonate for years if not decades beyond.

Thanks so much for visiting and should you feel so inclined I know that Make It Right 9 would be grateful for any donation, whether monetary or time, that you could extend. This isn't about me, this isn't about my company, this is about taking care of those that need us - STILL! Don't let it fade from your memory!

Wake Forest NC - Holding Park Pool Is A Great Summer Hang Out!

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 10:43:02 -0700

What a great way to cool off, splash around and spend the afternoon!

Holding Park Community Pool

With the weekend winding down and the temperatures reaching 90 degrees we decided to venture out for a little cool spot and the Holding Park Community Pool fit the bill perfectly!

Holding Park Pool is one of the largest outdoor public swimming pools in the area - the 50-meter pool is open in the summer and offers "open" swim times, swim lessons, lap swims, parent/toddler swims and water aerobics!

Admission is very reasonable at only $4 for ages 13 and over, $3 for ages 3 - 12 and $1 for children under the age of 2. You can bring your own cooler with drinks and snacks (no alcoholic beverages or glass containers) or you can visit the concession stand there for a snowcone or quick grab and go snack!

If you get the chance - definately visit Holding Park Pool - it will be an afternoon of fun in the sun. AND, while you are there look for me - I am sure that we will be spending many a summer afternoons there!

Lazy afternoons are welcome in My Back Yard....

The Cost of Selling Your Home - Typical Sellers Closing Costs

Sun, 26 Feb 2012 06:09:08 -0800

Both buyers and sellers of Real Estate have closing costs associated with the transfer of real estate. Each pays something different and as a top Wake Forest NC Real Estate Agent it is my job to be sure that PRIOR to closing I provide either of them (depends on who I represent) their estimated closing costs.

In the case of a home seller that comes in the form of Seller Net Proceeds. While I can not give exact figures for what closing costs are my years of experience do allow me to be very accurate is estimates. One of the first and most asked questions I receive when listing a home is, "How much will it cost to sell my home?" So, if you are thinking of selling your home in Wake Forest NC here are the costs that will be associated with the sale.

Document Preparation: Cost will vary from attorney to attorney but an good estimate is $200.00. This is the charge for the attorney to prepare YOUR deed for transfer to buyer.
Transfer Tax: This is a tax that is charged for selling your home. In North Carolina the charge is $1.00 for every $500.00 pf the sales price. (.2%) Example: A home sells for $300,000.00 so the transfer tax charged to the seller would be $600.00
Commission: This is the charge from the real estate company to sell your home. Each company charges a different fee and it would have been predetermined when you signed the Listing Agreement. This could be a percentage of the sales price or even a flat fee - it depends on what you agreed upon with your Realtor®
Real Estate Taxes: These are not to be confused with the Transfer Tax above. These are your annual Property Taxes. They must be prorated which means that you as the seller will pay for your portion up to the day of closing.
Homeowners Association Dues: This may not apply to you but if your home is located within a subdivision that has a Homeowners Association then you will be required to pay your Homeowners Association Dues up to the time of closing.
Current Loan Payoff: This is the amount of the current mortgage on your home if you have one. The attorney that is handling the closing will request a payoff from your mortgage company prior to closing and then will pay your current mortgage with the proceeds from the sale of your home.

The above are standard charges to a seller when they sell their home. Keep in mind that there may be additional charges depending on the Contract that you have agreed upon with the Buyer. For instance, did you agree to pay a portion of the Buyer's Closing Costs? Did you agree to pay for a Home Warranty for the Buyer? Those charges would then be added to the above mentioned charges and would be reflected on the Settlement Statement.

If you have any questions regarding any of the charges that I mentioned above OR if you would like to get an idea of what your profit would be from selling your home in Wake Forest NC just give me a call at 919-649-6128 or simply send me an email! I would be happy to prepare a preliminary Seller Net Proceeds for you!

* It is VERY important to note that the above is only specific to NORTH CAROLINA! Each state handles closings differently and each state may have different fee structures. If you are in another state reading this and would like more information regarding YOUR net proceeds in YOUR state give me a call - I have a WIDE network of professionals in every state that can help!
