Relocating to Chapel Hill

Monday, November 19th, 2007

It is just about this time of year that folks in the Northeast start thinking about relocating to a warmer part of the country.  And I say, great idea!!  I moved to Chapel Hill 15 years ago and it’s the best thing I ever did.  Moving from Fairfield County, Connecticut was hard to consider at first, but now I can’t imagine going through another Connecticut winter.

You might be concerned that you’ll miss seeing the ’seasons’.  Let me tell you - Carolina looks like Vermont this Fall.  It is our best fall foliage ever.  And we always get at least one snow storm so that the kids can sleigh ride and build a snowman.  We just don’t have to wrestle it more then once or twice a year!

Call me, Reg Morgan if you are considering a move to Chapel Hill.  Or perhaps you have a son or daughter who is working in Chapel Hill or going to attend Carolina?  An investment property might be a good option to explore.

Southern Village and Meadowmont Welcome Spring!

Monday, February 26th, 2007

Now that the weather is turning warmer, it’s nice to get in those morning runs and think about the possibility of Spring!  I’ve had a number of clients coming from parts north recently and this is a great time for them to visit Chapel Hill.  Our daffodils are out in full bloom.

The Southern Village and Meadowmont neighborhoods are always favorites because of their mix of beautiful homes in a variety of price ranges, condos, town homes and fantastic stores and restaurants.   Both locations offer wonderful walking trails - and these only get better as the weather improves.

And for families with younger children, you can’t beat the option of having an elementary school right in your neighborhood.  Southern Village has Scroggs and Meadowmont has Rashkis - both award winning schools.

If you are thinking of a move to Chapel Hill, call Reg Morgan.  Let’s talk about Meadowmont or Southern Village, or one of the many other great neighborhoods that make up our wonderful town.

There are also great things going on at Weaver Street Market in Southern Village as the expansion work that has been underway the past few weeks is really starting to show benefits. They’ve finished the first stage resulting in more room for the dairy products and the freezer. Look for increased space for a cheese, wine and beer section.

Relocating to Chapel Hill

Wednesday, September 6th, 2006

I am one of the many lucky transplants from the Northeast that now call the Triangle area of North Carolina home.  I grew up in Fairfield County, Connecticut and thought I would live there all my life.  But after working through many winters as a realtor in Darien and New Canaan, I started to think that a move to a warmer climate might be a good idea.    Now I’ve lived here with my family for over 15 years.

Many of us relocate for different reasons - a new job, a gentler climate or retirement.  After you make the decision to move, the most important choice is your realtor.  As a Chapel Hill realtor with over 20 years of experience, I know the area extremely well.  I have the professional designation of Certified Relocation Professional (CRP).  This means that I have the special skills necessary to make your move a great success.   I can help you navigate the choice of towns here in the Triangle.  Cary, Raleigh, Durham, Chatham County and Hillsborough are all close to Chapel Hill and have wonderful homes and neighborhoods. 

If you are thinking of relocating to North Carolina, call Reg Morgan and start making plans today.  Take a look at the current MLS listings.
