Helping Two Sisters Handle Their Mom’s Estate

This home, located at 1206 Holly Avenue in Shady Side, Maryland, was recently sold as part of an estate sale by Jerry Kline, Realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland.

Sandra was a loving mother and grandmother who spent long hours crafting and gardening at her charming one-story cottage in Shady Side, Maryland. When she passed away last year after a long illness, her two daughters contacted Jerry Kline, seeking assistance with selling Sandra’s home as part of settling her estate.

The two-bedroom, one-bathroom cottage is as cute as a bug’s ear. Located in the Chesapeake Bay waterfront community of Cedarhust, the home is just a two-block walk from the water and includes access to the local association’s boat ramp, clubhouse, playground and dock.

Jamie & Jessica, Sandra’s daughters, were new to the estate sale process, and Jerry helped them value the property, prepare it for sale and coordinate the transaction with the estate and title attorneys. A buyer for the home was quickly found, and though some repairs to the home were needed, the final sale price of $310,000 was considered excellent for a 1,083 sq. ft. home built in 1950.

SOLD: The Piney Orchard Townhouse with the Perfect Lawn

The immaculate backyard of 2479 Warm Spring Way in Odenton, Maryland. The home was recently sold by Jerry Kline, realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland.

Larry Rose puts a lot of love into everything he does. A long-time resident of Odenton’s Piney Orchard community, Larry recently decided to move down south to enjoy his retirement. That meant selling his impeccably kept, end-unit townhome in The Courts of Piney Orchard. To do so, Larry and his wife, Susan, chose Jerry Kline of Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland to help them.

Jerry met Larry several years ago when Larry was volunteering his time on The Courts Homeowners Association Board. Larry during his time on the Board worked tirelessly to improve his community, and in the process he forged many friendships with his neighbors. Even the neighbors who do not know Larry know his house. It is the handsome, brick-front colonial that stands out because of the immaculate yard.

Larry works on his yard every day. The grass is always thick, dark green and perfectly trimmed. The landscaping looks great, too. It’s literally impossible to find a single weed in the front, side or back lawn. Larry likes it that way.

Of course, the inside of the home is just as perfectly maintained. (This is Larry we’re talking about.) The pristine condition of the property and a host of desirable upgrades attracted multiple purchase offers from buyers. Jerry sold the property in three days.

Sold in Severn to Support a Charitable Cause

Jerry helped the seller save $37,125 on the transaction.

This home, located at 1312 Lone Pine Trail in Severn, Maryland, was recently sold by Jerry Kline, listing agent, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland. The home was donated to the Sterling Charitable Gift Fund Trust several years ago, and the trust recently chose Jerry to liquidate the asset to more fully support the group’s mission.

The recent sale of Jerry Kline’s listing at 1312 Lone Pine Trail in Severn, Maryland, has extra special meaning for those involved. Many needy people will benefit from the sale of the home because the seller, an IRS Section 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, will use the sale proceeds to bolster the organization’s philanthropic mission.

Jerry’s listing client, Sterling Charitable Gift Fund Trust, is an organization established to promote a variety of educational and cultural projects and provide emergency relief funds to those in need. The home was donated to the group several years ago, and the trust recently chose Jerry to liquidate the asset to more fully support the group’s mission.

The kitchen of 1312 Lone Pine Trail in Severn, Maryland. The home was recently sold by Jerry Kline, realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland. Jerry was able to help the non-profit avoid a $37,125 charge by facilitating a partial state property sales tax waiver for the seller.

Because the trust’s administrators are located outside Maryland, they needed help preparing the property for sale. So, Jerry worked to line up various contractors to tackle the painting, flooring and miscellaneous repair work. The end result was an updated and appealing colonial-style home that generated maximum funds for the group’s mission.

One particular step Jerry took saved the group $37,125 on the transaction. The state of Maryland normally charges an extra 8.25 percent property sales tax on homes sold by owners who live outside the state. But Jerry was able to help the non-profit avoid that charge by facilitating a partial property sales tax waiver for the client. Obtaining the waiver was tricky and time consuming. But the end result means more needy people will benefit from the additional sale proceeds.

Many thanks and congratulations to the trust’s administrators for making the project happen! It was a real pleasure working with you.
