Jerry Kline recently helped Daric & Jamie purchase 703 Eachann Lane in Millersville, Maryland, a large, stately, colonial-style home nestled on a large tract of wooded land. But it wasn’t the first time the parties had worked together.

This home, located at 703 Eachann Lane in Millersville, Maryland, was recently sold to buyers represented by Jerry Kline, realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland.

Over the years Jerry has helped the couples’ family buy or sell three other properties, including a home in Bowie, Maryland, a building lot in Upper Marlboro and a home in Upper Marlboro. Through it all, the realtor and the clients have become good friends.

“Jerry is an amazing realtor,” Jamie said. “He worked with my husband and I for what felt like forever but he was ALWAYS extremely professional, responsive and kind. He really takes the time to understand what you want, he does his research and will not let you make a decision you will regret. He puts his clients and their future first, looking at the big picture.”

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.

The real feature trumping all others with this home is the nature-preserve-like setting afforded by the backyard. From the home's screened porch and freshly stained deck, you can scan the woods for game and listen to softly trickling streams. The new owners can breathe deep the fresh air and meander the scattered walking paths through thick forest. It’s hard to believe such a "remote" place is roughly 5 minutes from the Capitol Beltway.

The home located at 15534 Peach Walker Drive in Bowie, Maryland, is nearly 50 years old. But it sure doesn’t look like it. Especially on the interior.

James and Brandy relocated to the area for James’ new job in Washington, D.C. They wanted to live near a MARC commuter rail station because the train provides easy access to the nation’s capitol from all over suburban Maryland. The couple settled on the house on Peach Walker Drive, with its 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and 2-car garage.

Helping a Parent Transition to Assisted Living . . .

A third-floor unit in this condo building, located at 118 Mountain Road in Glen Burnie, Maryland, was recently sold by Jerry Kline, realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland. Jerry was contacted by the condo owner’s daughter, who sought help selling the unit so her father could transition to an assisted living facility.

Beth M. contacted Jerry Kline with a challenge: her father’s poor health meant he could no longer climb the stairs to his third-floor condo home in Glen Burnie, Maryland. It was time for her dad to move to an assisted-living facility, and Beth needed to sell her dad’s condo quickly, so he could complete the transition to his new home.

Having worked with Jerry on a previous real estate project, Beth called Jerry to sell the condo. The property was in rather poor condition, but Jerry was able to garner an all-cash offer for the home – at full listing price. Beth then used the proceeds from the sale to get her dad settled in his new place.

Beth & Jerry worked together during a very stressful period for her dad to accomplish an important goal for the family. Thanks, Beth, for choosing Jerry as your listing agent!

If you or someone you know is facing an important life event – getting married, welcoming a new baby, dealing with the death of a loved one, relocating for a new job – Jerry’s there to help you as well. Call Jerry Kline at (443) 924-7418 today!

This lovely townhome located at 1749 Theale Way in Hanover, Maryland, was recently sold by Jerry Kline, realtor, Keller Williams Flagship of Maryland.

The simple fact of the matter is that Andy, Kalelei and their three little girls no longer fit into their home!
