Why you should contact Carolyn

If you are looking for a Realtor who listens more than they talk, you need to contact Carolyn Roland for your real estate needs. As a Certified Residential Specialist with over 20 years experience, Carolyn has lived in Wilmington for 40 years,  and is a native of Chicago. She is a volunteer with Meals on Wheels, on the Board of Directors for the Friends of the Furness RR District, and a volunteer for the Fresh Start Scholarship Auction for Wilmington Women in Business, and is a long time member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the Historical Societies of Delaware, New Castle, and Chester Counties,  the Delaware Center for Horticulture,and the Philadelphia Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians.

Not only are we now listing and selling homes in New Castle and Kent Counties in DE, Cecil County MD, and Southern Chester County in PA, but we are providing a fee-based service providing staging and design services for renovations and restorations. Wondering how a new bath or kitchen would affect the historic value of your home? Working with contractors, homeowners, or potential buyers we put together a design package for restorations and renovations. We are still looking for more contractors with experience in old house work who cover our market area. Just looking for ways to use what you have, but arranged in a more widely appealing way? We can help you!

 

See Carolyn's Blog at http://carolynrolandsblog.com/  where you can read articles and search for homes for sale in Delaware and Pennsylvania's Chester County.  And if you don't see the old house of your dreams listed, let Carolyn know and she just might have knowledge of a home not yet on the market that would fit your needs perfectly.

 


Areas of Expertise

Carolyn especially understands the construction, aesthetics, and local regulations pertaining to pre-1950 homes. From the 1725 historic home to the pre-WWII city twin, her background as an Architectural Historian and former historic home guide gives her an unique perspective on the past. She has worked with buyers moving to Delaware from places ranging from New Jersey to Texas and California. Sellers have left for points ranging from New Hampshire to Honolulu, often moving before settlement, leaving the details and closing to Carolyn. And if you know someone looking to buy or sell a property, Carolyn will gladly accept your referrals and treat them  like VIP's!

And if you can't find the home of your dreams--it may not be listed yet--Call Carolyn to see if she knows of the perfect house whose owners have let her know their home may be available soon!
