I've had several people ask recently... Do you really GUARANTEE that you can sell my home in 29 days or less in Raleigh North Carolina?  The answer to that is quite simple.  YES!The Bruce Hill 29 day guarantee in Raleigh isn't like a lot of these other "Agent Guarantees" that are out there.  Most agents float a "Your Home Sold Guaranteed or I'll buy it", loaded with pages of catches and stipulations.  My 29 day guarantee in Raleigh North Carolina is pretty straight forward.  If I don't have your home sold in 29 days or less, I'll sell it for free.  That's right, I'll sell your home in Raleigh, NC for free.  So don't wait to sell your home in Raleigh North Carolina, Call me and ask about the Bruce Hill 29 day guarantee.  Learn more about local market trends here.  Looking to buy or sell ... 02/18/2015

I have recently moved here from the Norfolk area and was pleased to see a redevelopment being done in Raleigh without the benefit of federal funding.  It is very surprising that Walnut Terrace has been developed strictly with local funds.  The costs of redevelopments like Walnut Terrace are staggering and this one costs around fifty million.   There are 292 townhouses, houses and apartments that were built.  Half of those will be reserved for low income families and the rest will be rented at fair market value.  I have not been to the area but plan to make a trip to Walnut Terrace to check it out.   I think Raleigh should be commended for its forward thinking on Walnut Terrace. 02/03/2015

I moved to the Raleigh area a few months ago as a residential real estate expert.  I had thought about going into commercial real estate in Raleigh but after reading about the complexities and time involved it wasn't for me.  Raleigh is grappling with letting new hotels be built downtown.  One such hotel that finally received approval was a Marriott Residence Inn.  This was three years after it was first proposed.  You know there was probably a few years before that in planning stages and probably another two or three before it is built. So if you are looking for a residential real estate agent in the Raleigh area please look me up.  If you are looking for commercial real estate in the area look me and I will refer you to an outstanding commercial real estate agent. 01/23/2015

Sellers in Raleigh, NC all want to know.  WHAT do buyers want?! CLEAN! - Clean your house and then go over it with a magnifying glass. Clean the cobwebs out of the corners. Wipe down the cabinets.  Get the mildew off the grout in the shower.  Clean the dust off the windowsills and blinds.  Have the carpets professionally cleaned.  The cleaner your home looks, the more it will attract a buyer.  I can not tell you how many homes I've showed buyers where the second they walked in, they had that "ew" face on because the home wasn't sparkling.  These homes were clean by your everyday standards, but they were not "selling a product" clean.  Well maintained. Put a fresh coat of paint on the inside and outside.  Keep the lawn mowed and the beds weeded. Make sure the roof is clean.  Make sure th... 01/04/2015

I just rented this great house in Midtown Raleigh for $2700/month.  I initially met with the owners two months ago who were just finishing up construction on their new home.  They were a referral from another great client.  They gave me the grand tour of their beautiful home, asked questions about what it's like to be a landlord, and told me they would think it over.  The wife was not totally on board with the idea of renting their family home, and they decided to concurrently list it for sale and rent. I gave them my professional opinion on rents in the area and advised them to list for $2500/month.  They asked to try for a little more, and I agreed since there was not much else on the market.  I took some pictures, uploaded the listing, and took a few calls on the home.  I showed it t... 08/07/2014
