Houses along Druid Hill Avenue and McCulloh Street were constucted during the 1890's. The homes contain large interior design with three stories and as many as five bedrooms. During the 1920's homes were built on Etting Street. Etting Street was formerly a stream of water known as "Spicer's Run". Many of these homes fell into disrepair after the King riots in 1968. Druid Heights CDC has been regaining title to many derelict properties along McCulloh, Druid Park Dr. and Division and is now selling those through Advance Realty Anne Arundel to visionary home owners who will purchase these homes using 203K financing to rehab them and make them shine once more.
In addition to these homes there is also a new housing development called Baker's View, located on Baker Street and some surrounding blocks
Druid Heights CDC provides comprehensive housing counseling in the areas of tenancy, pre & post homeownership, mortgage default/delinquency prevention, financial accountability, forbearance, repairing credit, home equity mortgage conversion, predatory lending and fair housing laws, through daily individual counseling, and quarterly group workshops and seminars. DHCDC's comprehensive housing counseling services has directly resulted in increasing homeownership, converting public housing tenants to homeowners, financially stabilizing elderly homeowners, expanding the housing opportunities for persons with disabilities, reducing the number of potential buyers ensnared by predatory lending schemes, and increasing resident educational housing services to homeless and transitional housing families.
In addition to these programs the CDC also offers the necessary housing counselling for prospective home owners to purchase using CDA or other city programs that require counselling services. These programs are offered by Chloe Williams, who can be contacted daily at the Druid Heights CDC, just call 410-523-1350, ext 17 and make an appointment.

Children went back to school this week in Anne Arundel County. The market remains fairly stable with some normal seasonal adjustments, with a few more buyers searching for their first or next home. I'm surprised I'm not seeing more individuals making the decision to buy with some of the seller funded downpayment programs going away at the end of September and with the increasing number of down payment assistance programs available. The weather has started to cool down with moderate days and cool nights and people are thinking about the end of summer and back to school and I think this may be having some cooling effect on the number of home buyers looking for new homes. The number of new listings has increased slightly and the number of homes going under contract has also increased. The numbers show a slowing in the market over all compared to this time last year. It will be interesting to see how this all changes with the changes in the FHA and Jumbo loan limits and adjustments in the interest rates. Overall, it's still a great time to buy.
These figures are taken directly from our MRIS system and are believed to be accurate.

I am a f/t office manager and realtor with over 20 years experience. We serve military relocatees including Ft. Meade, Naval Academy, Aberdeen PG, Ft. Dietrick, Patuxent Naval Station and more.
I have been selling real estate for over 21 years. I have travelled extensively and have sold real estate in England, Canada and now in Maryland. My experience in moving around the corner and around the world has helped me work with many clients in coordinating their home sale and purchase. Nothing is more gratifying to me than seeing your face at settlement when you finish signing the paperwork and you get the keys to your new home.
I recently accepted the Office Manager position with Advance Realty in Glen Burnie. I manage an office of 
about 30 full and part time agents and assist them with their transactions and mentor and guide them to achieve their goals both in real estate and in their personal lives. I am actively recruiting agents who want to take their real estate career to the next level. If you are looking to make a change or just curious as to what we have to offer, give me a call and see if you are a good fit for our office. At Advance Realty we believe in the personal touch, you will be part of a team where everyone is successful. It's not about numbers, it's about individuals and individual growth and opportunities. You will be part of a small office where you will be coached and mentored to be as successful as you want to be.
I am e-Pro certified and have completed special training to work with military relocatees and Cartus referrals and have completed a background check. I completed the Champion Residential Investment Specialist (CRIS) program. I specialize in working with residential investment clients. I help clients identify their investment goals and help them realize their dreams. I will help you identify your next investment property but my services do not stop there, I will consult with you in order to renovate your property to meet what the market wants to purchase and I will help you sell that property for a profit and identify your next project. I have successfully negotiated many transactions for clients and clients have realized financial wealth with my teams assistance.
In 2006 we were awarded the Century 21 Ruby Masters Award for sales Excellence. In 2005 we were awarded the Century 21 Diamond Master's Award for sales excellence. We also received the Century 21 H. T. Brown Centurion award for sales excellence.
I have teamed up with Skip Roper and together we form the Charm City Home Team. We specialize in old and historic homes and have specific knowledge about historic tax credits and tips and techniques for restoring old homes to their former splendor. We also work extensively with Investors who purchase homes in need of restoration, renovate, then resell. We are also very familiar with rental investment properties and are eager to help you purchase just the right investment property for your growing portfolio.
Call us today and let us help make your dreams of home ownership a reality.
I have completed the Cartus Mobility programs to work with people who are relocating to the Baltimore area and also with people who are moving away. Having moved great distances myself my clients feel that I can identify with them and am able to help them prepare for their next move.
My background in archaeology has helped me in my real estate career. I love old houses and I love seeing them restored to their former glory using modern technology and new slants on old techniques. If you have an old house that you are thinking about restoring or perhaps thinking about selling please contact the Charm City Home Team and let them help you make connections to make your old house shine again.
I work with investors who are looking to grow wealth for retirement or to put their children through college. There are many avenues available to people wishing to grow wealth. I will help you identify your investment goals and point out avenues in which you can purchase property and gain financial growth through renovating and reselling or through rental income. I will help you calculate your return on investment on rental properties and grow your investment portfolio to realize your financial goals. There are many opportunities in Baltimore to realize both types of investment activity. The city has made it possible for investors to help bring Baltimore back to it's former splendor one home at a time. I am very well connected with people who buy and resell investment opportunities and I have access to all the technology and tools in order to help you find just the right investment opportunity.
When Antwon wanted to sell his investment property he came to The Charm City Home Team because "you are the best".
June made every step of our house hunting and purchase experience enjoyable. She returned calls and emails immediately. When we had questions she was always there to answer them and give advice. We would have never been able to purchase our first home had it not been for June. I believe June made a life altering experience an easy and fun one and without her we would have never moved out of our little apartment.
The Bodeis Jones, Home Buyers
If we had known how easy it would be to buy a home, we would have done it years ago. June made it so easy for us to buy our first home. I always thought someone would try to take advantage of me so I never did it before. But, June guided us through the process and wouldn't have let anything bad happen to us.
The Anderson's
It's really refreshing to work with a Realtor who truly understands investment properties.
Investor P
I want to work with the June Piper-Brandon that sold that house on Lange Street in 7 days after someone else had had it on the market for 180 days.
