Just because a Realtor works on Cape Cod, doesn’t mean that they truly KNOW Cape Cod. Cape Cod is one of the greatest places in the world to live, work and vacation. It is also one of the most unique places in the world to live, work and vacation! Years ago I walked into a meeting on the Cape wearing a suit and the person I was meeting with didn’t comment on the suit so much as he commented on the fact that my top half and bottom half matched….he quickly reminded me that this was Cape Cod and here things aren’t supposed to match and socks are optional! We don’t have too many “box stores” and those that have made it onto the Cape are usually reduced in size compared to those “off Cape” Yes, there is something very unique about the land east of the Cape Cod Canal more commonly known as Cape Cod! When buying or selling a piece of real estate or renting a vacation home it is important to work with those who know this unique piece of real estate. I feel truly fortunate that I am able to call Cape Cod home. But there are those who aren’t as familiar and should you work with someone less experienced the experience can be anything but smooth. For example are you interested in the Upper Cape, Mid Cape or Lower Cape? Do you know which is which and what towns fall into them? One would think not being familiar with the area that the “Upper Cape” would be the section beyond Chatham that is on the “upper side” of the map, in fact that is the “Lower Cape” and the upper Cape is what you enter when you first cross the Cape Cod Canal on either the Bourne or Sagamore Bridge onto Cape Cod. Confused yet? Don’t worry the experienced Broker and Agents at Foran Realty will help guide you through all of the confusion! When buying a home on Cape Cod not only is it important to work with a Realtor who is intimately familiar with Cape Cod but also a lender who is local. When it comes to the local economy the local banks, not the big national banks, know our home best. Working with them, along with local attorney’s, will help insure that you have a smooth and delightful Cape Cod Real Estate experience! So what are you waiting for, pick up the phone and call Foran Realty. We love to show our clients around this unique place we are fortunate enough to call home!]]>
