Wrapping Up Another Great Summer Wow, what a summer it’s been! Thousands have discovered what a wonderful place Franklin is to visit and experience. There’s a variety of activities that appeal to all ages right here in our back yard!

Camping, rafting, golfing, hiking, gem mining, nature exploring…and the list goes on and on!

A couple of my favorite things about the end of summer that truly define small-town America, especially here in the South, are the return of high school football and the county fair. The Macon County Fair is a rarity, as it is one of the last agriculture-only fairs in the state of NC. Our facility on Hwy 441 just south of town is among the best, so I encourage you to get out and see the animals and exhibits this year. Also, don’t forget to mark your calendars for Friday Night Lights! I’m sure it will be another winning season, so head on out to the Panther Pit and support this year’s team!

With all these great activities, and the hometown feel of Franklin, who wouldn’t want to live here? So, if you’re looking for a place to call home, look no further!

Contact one of the real estate professionals featured in this guide to help find the right home for you…and as always, let them know you found them in The Real Estate Buyer’s Guide!

Wrapping Up Another Great Summer

BaldHeadRealtyLive.Com 33 Pine Lane • Franklin, NC

Wow, what a summer it’s been! Thousands have discovered what a wonderful place Franklin is to visit and experience. There’s a variety of activities that appeal to all ages right here in our back yard!

Camping, rafting, golfing, hiking, gem mining, nature exploring…and the list goes on and on!

A couple of my favorite things about the end of summer that truly define small-town America, especially here in the South, are the return of high school football and the county fair. The Macon County Fair is a rarity, as it is one of the last agriculture-only fairs in the state of NC. Our faculty on Hwy 441 just south of town is among the best, so I encourage you to get out and see the animals and exhibits this year. Also, don’t forget to mark your calendars for Friday Nigh Lights! I’m sure it will be another winning season, so head on out to the Panther Pit and support this year’s team!

With all these great activities, and the hometown feel of Franklin, who wouldn’t want to live here? So, if you’re looking for a place to call home, look no further!

Contact one of the real estate professionals featured in this guide to help find the right home for you…and as always, let them know you found them in The Real Estate Buyer’s Guide!

SEVEN REASONS TO WORK WITH A REALTOR

®

Buying and selling a home can be stressful. You need an agent who is a REALTOR®, a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, by your side. Here’s why:

1 3 5 7

GET THE INSIDE SCOOP. Real estate professionals have access to exclusive neighborhood and property information to make you a smarter buyer or seller.

NAVIGATE A COMPLEX PROCESS. A real estate professional can guide you on forms, disclosures, and the lending process to help you avoid costly mistakes and delays.

BE UP-TO-DATE. You may have bought or sold a home before, but markets and transaction processes are always changing.

2

SIMPLIFY YOUR SEARCH.

4

NEGOTIATE LIKE A PRO.

6

An agent can educate you on current market conditions and help you find homes that match your criteria using local broker marketplaces—known in the business as multiple listing services.

An agent has the expertise to negotiate terms, from price to repairs, on your behalf.

HAVE A TRUSTED ALLY. Your agent can talk you through the pros and cons behind big decisions and share their network of trusted home inspectors, lenders, remodelers, and more.

DO THE RIGHT THING. Make sure your agent is a REALTOR®. REALTORS® are bound by a strict Code of Ethics based on professionalism, consumer protection, and the golden rule.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN AGENT AND A REALTOR® IS REAL. Visit: realtor.com/thats-who-we-r

REALTORS® are members of the National Association of REALTORS®
