Home Auctions in New Bern? Who would have thought?
Wednesday, May 25th, 2011 at 2:29pm. 124 Views, 0 Comments.
Auction First, an Auction Company out of Cary, NC and Austin, Texas, came to New Bern last week to auction off a small historic home in the Riverside Historic District that had sat unsold for over a year and declined in price. Well, wouldn't you know the auction couldn't be opened by the Auctioneer because the buyers showed up and weren't prepared. I guess they forgot to read the small print, but not all is lost. The house will now go through a sealed bid process and hopefully the long awaited agony of trying to sell will be over for one homeowner. This is not a distressed auction, but one where buyers can finance the purchase just as though they were doing a traditional transaction. For many sellers the advantages in this process do outweigh any…
Realtors are in demand as 'For Sale by Owners' Decline - SELLERS REALLY DO NEED US!

So, Mr. FSBO (for sale by owner), you have a couple interested in your home. A really nice home that you just put the For Sale sign up in front of last week. That’s exciting news; however, they are asking lots of questions and want to get a home inspection. You are wondering if you should be concerned about this. All you wanted to do was sell your house, make a really nice profit and run, not walk away. No one told you that you would have to worry about it passing some “inspection”. What if something is wrong and they don’t want the house? What if something is wrong, and it’s a really big deal and it costs a lot to repair? Do you have the money to fix it now? What are your options, you ask? The prospective buyers look like they can afford the…
The Jerkins-Duffy House, 301 Johnson Street, New Bern, NC ca. 1830
Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010 at 1:41pm. 692 Views, 0 Comments.
Another New Bern historic landmark home is now being offered by Coldwell Banker Willis-Smith for your consideration at $1,100,000. This large Federal-to-Greek sidehall frame house was constructed by Thomas Jerkins, a prominent merchant and ship owner, for his daughter on the occasion of her marriage in 1830. It remained in the Jerkins family until 1909 when the Duffy's, who were leaders in the local movement to reconstruct New Bern's Tryon Palace, bought the home. Their family maintained ownership until the mid 1990's. While the exterior of the home is quite simple, interior molding, elaborate pocket doors, large room sizes, and the lovely two-story porch makes this a home one of its kind. A handsome captain's walk spans the distance between the two…
