Finding a Home

Well, one Realtor is not the same as the others.

When we started our search for a home, we first identified the two to three Middle Schools that our daughter would attend based on the High Schools. I used the website http://www.psk12.com/rating/index.php to research the schools. Another site you may consider is www.fcps.org(note not www.fcps.edu that's in Virginia). I identified Middletown and Linganore as the two primary candidates for High School. Then my wife contacted the Middle Schools that fed these High Schools for a visit. It was near the end of the school year and only one school had time for us, Oakdale Middle School. We were very impressed with our visit to Oakdale Middle School.

We had already been talking with a Realtor, who will remain nameless. It appeared to us that she wasn't realy listening to our concerns. We may have been saying one thing and meant another, but we determined that working with this Realtor didn't work for us. So shop around until you find the right one for you and your family. Finally we stumbled onto the "Plum Team" Pat Plum and her team went out of their way to help us. They listened, and listened some more. Then they helped us identify and buy our new home. So if your still looking for the right Realtor, consider the Plum Team.
