Chapel Hill is one of America’s most beautiful towns.   One of our favorite things are the remarkable stone walls that line the streets around the University and the historic districts.  

UNC-Chapel Hill now has a project underway to restore these walls on Raleigh and East Franklin Streets.  Over the years the walls have shifted and were in need of repair.  I understand that in the rebuilding they will use stones from the existing walls whenever possible.    Should be all set in time for the start of classes in August.

One of the most important parts of your real estate transaction is the home inspection - your deal is not a deal until your inspection goes through and all parties agree to any necessary adjustments or repairs.   Yesterday I was with my seller all the way through their final inspection — in the crawl space, up the ladder, just what it takes to work the deal to its fruition.  

I’ve learned in my 20 years of experience as a Chapel Hill realtor that your home sale takes more then just a listing and a flyer — call me or visit my website to view all the Chapel Hill MLS listings.
