Hi all,
A year ago we had a house built in the Village at Pilot Mill, a downtown Raleigh development of single family homes. It's a great house in a great neighbourhood - a taste of real city living - and we wanted to move near to where our children's grandparents live. Unfortunately, circumstances have changed and now we're stuck in Oxford, England, a long way away.
We're still really keen to move over in the future and managed to rent the house out for a year, but now need to find new tenants to cover the mortgage payments. Or if that's not going to be possible, we'll have to sell it, which we really don't want to do!
The rental system seems pretty odd in Raleigh - no single clear place to advertise a property, and few properties on the MLS. I could imagine the house would be perfect for a family relocating to Raleigh (possibly renting for a year while they check out neighbourhoods) but have no idea how to tap into that market.
Any thoughts on how I might be able to access potential relocators, or other suggestions for marketing the house?
I've put up a website (
For sale or rent: Beautiful 1-year old home: 1117 N. Blount Street, Village at Pilot Mill, Downtown Raleigh) but how to get people to look at it???
Many thanks for any advice,
Darian
