If you decide you want to move to the City of Wilmington, its suburbs or the surrounding area, make sure you chose a realtor who is very familiar with the area. I was born and raised in Wilmington and I know the area better than most realtors.
When a house is listed as Wilmington, that does not mean that it is the city itself. Many of the suburbs surrounding Wilmington are also listed as Wilmington.
Each area of the City of Wilmington is almost like a separate sub-division. Depending on where it is, the price of the same house can be subsubstantialy different from one area to the next. Again, make sure you use a realtor who is very familiar with Wilmington.
Location Characteristics: Wilmington is comprised of 2 basic areas. the City of Wilmington and the suburbs of Wilmington.The city of Wilmington is a typical city with a population of over 75,000. It is made up mostly townhouses. Many of the homes are 50 years old or older. Some of these older townhouses have been renovated or torn down and replaced by a new home. Prices range from $50k to $400k depending on the location. Each area of the city is unique and the pluses and minuses in that area determines the price of the house. Suburban Wilmington is outside of the regular city limits. Houses in this area could be townhomes or single family homes. Prices for townhomes range from $100k to $250k. Prices for single family homes start around $150k. If you plan on moving to Wilmington, its suburbs or the surrounding area, you have to be very specific about what type of house you want and where you want to live.

I HAVE AN EXTENSIVE BUSINESS BACKGROUND AND EDUCATION. I HAVE HELD POSITIONS SUCH AS CONTROLLER AND GENERAL MANAGER. I HAVE A BS IN ACCOUNTING AND A MBA IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION.
WHAT REALLY MAKES ME DIFFERENT THAN MOST REALTORS IS, THAT IN ADDITION TO SELLING EXISTING HOMES, I SPECIALIZE IN NEW HOMES. MY NAME IS KNOWN AT 20+ NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AREA. QUITE OFTEN BUILDERS HAVE SPECIAL INCENTIVES AND HOUSES FOR SALE THAT ARE NOT ADVERTISED TO THE PUBLIC. BECAUSE OF THIS YOU NEED A REALTOR WHO KNOWS HOW TO LOCATE THE NEW HOMES.
IF YOU ARE BUYING A HOUSE, AND YOU ARE FROM OUT OF TOWN, I WILL PERSONALLY VISIT THE TOP 5 OR SO PROPERTIES YOU HAVE SELECTED. FROM THIS VISIT, I WILL DETERMINE IF THE PROPERTY MEETS ALL YOUR NEEDS. THIS WAY,WHEN YOU COME TO VISIT, WE WILL ONLY BE LOOKING AT PROPERTIES THAT MEET YOUR EXACT SPECIFICATIONS.
IF YOU ARE SELLING A PROPERTY IN MY AREA, I WILL AGGRESSIVELY MARKET YOUR PROPERTY. THIS INCLUDES DOING SEVERAL OPEN HOUSES A WEEK. I DO OPEN HOUSES 7 DAYS A WEEK,OFTEN TO 6PM. MOST AGENTS,IF THEY EVEN DO OPEN HOUSES,DO THEM ON SUNDAY FROM 12PM TO 2PM OR 1PM TO 3PM. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, HOW MANY HOMES CAN A POTENTIAL BUYER VISIT FROM 12PM TO 3PM ON A SUNDAY. BECAUSE I DO OPEN HOUSES, I GET 5 TO 10 TIMES MORE POTENTIAL BUYERS TO VISIT YOUR PROPERTY THAN A NORMAL AGENT.
THIS COMBINATION OF FACTORS ALLOWS ME TO QUICKLY IDENTIFY YOUR NEEDS AND FIND OR SELL YOUR HOME IN THE LEAST AMOUNT OF TIME.
