About Me

CHRISTOPHER CARROLL: RAISED IN THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY FROM BIRTH

Are you looking for a new home to buy in Chester County and the surrounding area? If so, you should be working with a Realtor who is an Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR) and a CSP (Certified New Home Sales Professional). According to the Rebac.Net website, I am one of only four agents in Chester Springs with the coveted ABR designation.

The ABR designation means that I have been trained to work in the Best Interest of The Home Buyer. The CSP designation gives me an edge over other agents when helping Buyers with New Construction. Use me as your official buyer's agent and I will do everything in my power to find what you want at a price that you can afford.

With the extensive resources and knowledge of Kenneth Carroll Real Estate - an independently owned and operated agency since 1962 - I will scour the area for properties that meet your expectations, send you listing information via email or fax, and schedule appointments to view properties at times that are convenient for you and your family. As always, Kenneth Carroll Real Estate never charges our buyer clients for the services we provide.* I have all of the resources available to brokers and agents at those large real estate franchises, plus I have the added advantage of learning much more about the industry - having observed and learned from my father, Kenny Carroll, and his agents in his offices throughout my entire life.

For more information call 610-827-9214, or drop me an email at christophercarroll@comcast.net. I look forward to working with you and becoming your new best friend!

Yours truly,

Christopher Carroll, Associate Broker, ABR, CSP (Certified New Home Sales Professional), RECS (Real Estate Cyberspace Specialist)

""Wow! We chose the right realtor to assist us in the sale of our house in Chester Springs! We found Christopher Carroll to be very personable, responsive to our questions and concerns, and a great negotiator through the tough spots in the process. Chris quickly listed our house, created marketing materials, and made full use of the internet to get the word out. He continued to promote our listing in an energetic way. His use of email to communicate with us was quick and effective so that we always felt heard and well-informed. He also responded quickly to voice messages. Chris walked us through every step of the process of selling our home in a calm, thoughtful, and knowledgeable manner. He was outstanding in helping us through the negotiations that led to an agreement of sale and satisfactory inspections. He was also efficient and thorough in preparing us for settlement. Chris' hard work on our behalf made for a very satisfactory outcome. Chris was our ally as well as our realtor!""

Christopher Carroll answered:

First I need to commend you for choosing Chris James-Hector; she is a consummate professional. My family's independent real estate company has cooperated in numerous transactions over many years with her. That being said, you are selling in a very difficult market. If the property is marketed and prices correctly, then it should sell. However, given the current climate of uncertainty (e.g. inflation, general election, war, consumer confidence, etc) you should not count on a quick sale of your house - Wed Aug 20 2008, 16:02

New Siding for house if getting ready to sell??

Asked Mon Aug 18 2008, 21:07 by Speelie - 19465 - Home Selling - 5 answers

Christopher Carroll answered:

Your investment to replace the T1-11 with stucco will probably not pay off in the long run. It may facilitate a quicker sale depending on the condition of the T1-11, but you can't count on recouping the expense. My advise to you is the same as that I make to my clients: make improvements for yourself, not future buyers. Those buyers might want a completely different facade than stucco.

Also: if you make the change to stucco, make sure it is actual stucco - not EIFS or similar. - Wed Aug 20 2008, 15:34

Asked Tue Jun 3 2008, 16:47 by Sam - West Chester - Home Buying - 7 answers

Christopher Carroll answered:

Is the agreement of sale subject to a radon test? If so, have the test done and if levels come back at 4 pc/l or above then ask the seller to remediate. If it is not subject to a radon test then you have no recourse regarding radon. - Wed Aug 20 2008, 15:20

Do you get more for your money to buy a 1 or 2 acre lot and build or buy new home in development??

Asked Mon Aug 18 2008, 20:57 by Speelie - 19465 - Home Buying - 1 answer

Christopher Carroll answered:

It all depends on the total cost of the new construction versus the cost of land plus design plus bldg permit plus septic and well (if no public water and sewer). Building costs vary between $150 to $200+ per square foot. The cheaper the square foot cost, the more "builder grade" materials will be used (e.g. formica vs. corian,etc). I have experience with both average and custom builders in the area and can provide you with references. Please contact me. - Wed Aug 20 2008, 15:14
