West Cary is New

When I think about West Cary I think new. Just a few years this area was winding country roads and tobacco barns. It has really changed now. Most of the new neighborhoods are in West Cary. I think of West Cary as being west of hwy 55 and north of hwy 64. It includes most of zip code 27519. Most neighborhoods in this part of Cary are Mixed Use Planned Unit Developments. These developments will have thousands of square feet of commercial space along with the residential units.

Convenient

West Cary is bordered by Research Triangle Park. Chapel Hill and Durham are only 20 minutes away, Southpoint Mall 10-15, and Raleigh is 30.  The short commute times give more time for leisure. It’s so easy to take advantage of what the rest of the Triangle offers.

Developments and Neighborhoods

The first large development to go “out west” was Cary Park. Many others followed along including  Amberly, Copperleaf, Highcroft and Highcroft Village, Weycroft, Carpenter Village, Cameron Pond, and an over 55 community, Carolina Preserve at Amberly. There are some older (1990’s-2000’s) neighborhoods too. Some have been updated and the landscaping has matured. The lots are slightly larger too.

Schools in West Cary

Cary is a planned town with ordinances that require roads and schools be in place to serve any new developments.  It’s so clean and new. The schools are high tech and parents are very involved.  Here are a few photos of Highcroft Elementary

How I get paid as a buyers agent

If you've bought and sold homes in the past you may already understand how buyers agents get paid but I thought I would go ahead and explain. I always hate wondering about things like this so I thought it would be helpful.
-The seller has a listing contract with a real estate brokerage company to pay a fee for selling the house. It's negotiable but typically 5-6% in the Triangle.
-The Multiple Listing Service was invented for brokers to share their home listings with other brokers in the network and guarantee the agents from different companies would get paid for selling the home.
-The MLS is a promise (contract) by the listing real estate company to pay the selling company(who brings the buyer) a specified fee. In the Triangle this is typically 2.4%-3%. The listing company keeps the rest.
-My commission is already included in the price of the home so you don't save money if you are not represented by a buyers agent.
-Builders will also pay my fee if you let them know you are represented and include me in the first or early visit.
