About Me
QUALITY SERVICE...
WITH A PERSONAL TOUCH!
A Triangle resident since 1966, I graduated from Millbrook High School in Raleigh. I attended Middle Tennessee State University, returning to NC in 1990 to be closer to aging parents. My wife, Vickie, and I have just celebrated our 33rd anniversary. We found our own little Garden of Eden in southern Granville County, about 20 miles north of Raleigh. I would like to show you some of the hidden treasures in the surrounding areas of Raleigh and Wake Forest, or anywhere in Wake, Franklin, Granville, Durham Counties. I provide service to Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Wake Forest, Youngsville, Creedmoor, Franklinton, and many many other local areas! My goal is to help you find the home of your dreams OR the perfect spot to build it.

How much per sq foot should I expect to pay for a home on Kerr Lake?

Mike Carswell answered:
The areas around Kerr Lake provide a wide variety of homes...from mobile homes to luxurious homes. Prices per square foot vary accordingly, from $78 to $600!

I would love to send you some information on the area or some homes to look at. If you will give me just a little more info on the kind of home you are looking for, I will be glad to research it for you!

Looking for a place within these High Schools areas

Mike Carswell answered:
Dear MUNZERS:
Congratulations on your relocation to Raleigh! I am sure you are going to LOVE it here.
My dad relocated us here when I was 12, so I've been around here for a while. I think you will like the family friendly atmosphere, with tons of things for the kids to do. As you know, you're only an hour or so away from being able to access the Blue Ridge Parkway, Or about 2 hours in the other direction to hit the beaches! Or just stay close to home and visit one of the many local lakes for some recreation! What a great place to live!

BUT...to answer your question, area code 27616 will put you in the vicinity of Leesville. The only thing is that with Wake County Schools, reassignments seem almost inevitable! So, just be prepared for the possibility..!

I would be more than happy to research homes for you in all the areas you mentioned. I would just need some more detailed info about what you are looking for. Please feel free to give me a call at 919-906-8865. You can also visit my website athttp:// www.MikeCarswell.com. From there you can search for homes yourself and look up info on local schools.

I would love to assist you guys as you settle into the area. - Thu May 22 2008, 03:07

Charlie:
You have made an EXCELLENT choice in considering a move to NC! You probably already know that it offers everything you are looking for!
I represent homes in the Triangle area ( Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill). This area offers SO much for family life and overal quality of life. I would LOVE to have the opportunity to show you around!
From the surrounding areas, you are always within 60 minutes of RDU airport. MANY boating opportunities exist at Falls Lake, Jordan Lake and more.
Wake County and Southern Granville Counties have excellent school systems, as do several others.
In the price range that you are considering, you have many many excellent options.
Please, feel free to contact me at 919-906-8865. I would be glad to show you guys around the area and help you locate just the right home.

Kim:
For some reason, I have had the privilege of assisting a LOT of clients from Florida over the last years. I just closed one 2 weeks ago and this buyer was VERY pleased at the change in his property taxes.

I do a lot of work in areas around the Triangle ( Raleigh, Durham & Chapel Hill). Tax rates DO vary, but you can find some very favorable areas! For instance, I sell quite a few homes in Granville County, just a few minutes north of Raleigh. The area is beautiful; it is still somewhat rural, but is growing at a nice pace. The Southern Granville County School system has a great record and the tax rate here in the County is just .69 per $100 valuation.

Please feel free to call me for more information OR you can go to my website athttp:// www.MikeCarswell.com. From there, you can search for homes, but you can also check out local school systems, compare mortgage rates and more.

I look forward to hearing from you!

THANKS!

Check out North Haven Child Development Center at 6620 Six Forks Road. With a lower teacher:child ratio this one might work for you.
I DO have some good experience and knowledge of this center as my wife has been director there for 18 years. The center has an excellent reputation which can be checked thru the local office of Child Care and Resource Referrals. If you have any questions, you can call me at 919-906-8865 or You can call Vickie directly at 919-848-4834. - Tue May 20 2008, 04:40
