Recently, we had the privilege of helping two families merge into one home—parents and their daughter and son-in-law—navigating the complex process of selling and buying at the same time. The parents owned a home in North Ridge, one of Raleigh’s most desirable neighborhoods, and needed the proceeds from that sale to purchase their next home. Rather than putting their house on the market and taking on costly repairs, Davis explored a creative approach—reaching out directly to builders and developers who might be interested in the land itself. RDG Builders saw the incredible potential right away and jumped at the opportunity. They’re now planning to build a 2026 Parade of Homes showcase property on that very lot!
Meanwhile, the families found their dream home together on Maple Avenue. With the help of our transaction coordinator, Daisy, they secured $30,000 in repair credits, making the purchase even smoother. The parents were able to close on the sale of their North Ridge home and the purchase of their new home on Maple Avenue the same day—a seamless transition that allowed them to use their sale proceeds directly toward their new property. And to make the move even easier, they negotiated to stay in their old home through the end of the year while they prepare for the next chapter.
Stories like this are a great reminder that even if a property needs work—or you’re unsure how to position it on the market—there are creative solutions available. If you or someone you know is sitting on desirable land in a sought-after area, we can help connect you with trusted builders who may be ready to buy.
