T.A.R. Life with Top Producing Agent Erica Anderson

We talk about our five day trip to Ireland with where we stayed in a castle. We talked about what we were expecting and our favorite parts of the trip. The fun and chaos of driving on the opposite side of the road, rental car mix ups, and stories of a wonderful stay in a beautiful country and topics for this show. Don't kiss the Blarney Stone!

We talk about Melody's round house property that she renovated completely and Erica's house in the mountains on Lake James, and property on the beach. A lot of people in the Triangle already own or dream of owning a beach or mountain house. We get into the nitty gritty about the ins and outs of mountain and beach second homes in North Carolina.

We dealt with foundation issues, pink 1970s bathrooms, 1980s panels, topping trees for an ideal view, carpet in the bathrooms, extreme weather because of elevation, the challenges of renovating a property that is hours from your main residence, finding local contractors,  metal roofs, and more.

It's so important to find trusted vendors which can be challenging when the property is so far away from your network. The home inspector on Erica's beach house wrote "Home may fall down" on the inspection. That was a first! We also talk about dealing with what beach front homeowners in North Carolina call the CAMA Police. We also discuss some tips for turning your mountain or beach house into a profitable short-term rental.
