Since the end of October, the North Carolina Museum of Art has been honored to host Rembrandt in America, the largest collection of Rembrandt paintings to ever have been exhibited in America.
The collection is on display for a few more weeks, until January 22, so you should be scheduling your visit soon.
I haven't even visited the new NC Museum of Art since construction was completed, so I am overdue to find a reason to go.
Rembrandt in America may be the perfect reason to get out and go.
Interestingly, I have been collecting Rembrandts in Cary and Raleigh for some time. Houses, that is. "Rembrandt" models by New Fortis/K Hovnanian Homes.
I live in a Rembrandt. Circa 1993.
Oddly enough, my Rembrandt is in a subdivision named "Giverny." Rembrandt in Giverny? Maybe it should have been a Monet? That would have been OK, too.
The Elevation "D" Rembrandt was the masterpiece of the model. Full brick front, with half circle windows, a hip roof, and a finished bonus room over the garage all elevated the "D" to the top of the heap. It was the model home in Giverny, and as is common, the model became one of the most popular floor plans to be built. I belive our neighborhood is about 20% Rembrandts, of one elevation or another.
I live in a home built to Elevation "C." The "C" has a partial brick front. We added a front porch that makes our "C" unique in the neighborhood.
Elevation "A" was the "plain Jane," base model elevation.
Elevation "B" adds a rocking chair front porch.
Elevation "C" includes brick trim on the left of the front of the house, and a step down in the roof.
But interiors of these three elevations are the same, unless options were chosen to change them.
The two-story family room in the top rendering offers dramatic central height to the interior, and the rendering shows the palladian windows included in the "D" elevation. Our "C" Elevation home has rectangular transom windows in place of the palladians.
Most commonly, buyers chose to finish a loft area into a 4th bedroom and/or to add a 5th bedroom/bonus room over the garage.
Square footages vary from just over 2200 to about 2800 square feet.
While owners have customized their homes and properties over the last 15 to 18 years, a tour around the area turns up many Rembrandts. You can see the Rembrandt DNA in the photos, and also appreciate the pride homeowners take in personalization of their properties.
Do I do Open Houses?
Yes, I hold Open Houses in most of my listings, and I don't worry about reasons given for not holding them.
Do Open Houses "work" in Cary?
I think many work well to expose the home to the market, to generate a little buzz, to get people in to visit.
"They are only for agents to get new Buyer Clients."
No, I hold Open Houses to generate business for that listing.
"Only a low percentage of Open Houses result in a Buyer."
I like to say, as a listing agent, holding an Open House is better than napping at home in front of the TV, and moaning that the real estate market is dead.
So, Yes, I am holding an Open House Sunday, 10/23. See me from 2-4PM in Wessex at 501 Midenhall Way, Cary NC, 27513

In my 14th year in the Raleigh, Cary, Wake County area. No GPS needed!
A dear client told me, "You're a real person, Mike."
How rewarding! A Real Person! The coveted "ARP" designation.
I promise I'll be a "real person" for you, too!
Elevate!
Land, farms, building lots, rehab homes, rental property, estate homes, golf course homes, townhomes.
Are you trying to sell a "Problem Property?" No fear here. Call me, and let's see what you need.
I have a hands-on construction background, which I think benefits my clients.
First-time Buyers and Seniors are among my favorite home-buying clients.
Real estate investment is a powerful component in a successful investment portfolio. I enjoy "doing the math" on investment homes, multi-family properties, and land, and helping folks build wealth with real estate.
If you need to buy or sell an acre, or a thousand acres, a farm, or transitional land, give me a call.
And Historic Homes? Honoring the past through preservation can be very rewarding. Having renovated two homes for myself, I know the sacrifices and the rewards of opening Pandora's Box. It can be a trap...or a treasure chest!
To whom it may concern:
If your needs extend into the Real Estate market, I can think of no better Real Estate agent than Mike Jaquish.
Our first discussion confirmed our expectations. He is what he appears to be. After deciding to move to the Cary area, Mike Jaquish was the best choice to help us in our search for a new home, so we engaged him as our buying agent. It turned out to be the best decision we could have made.
Mike is very professional. He is accessible, thorough, knowledgeable, tenacious, and even likable. He worked with us to accommodate our special needs and made himself available to quickly find a home we could bid on.
Mike was involved in construction before becoming a Realtor. His construction background gives him a unique perspective and the ability to see beyond the obvious. As we toured each home, he quickly assessed each structure, educated us on which areas conformed to our needs, pointed out any major flaws, and made recommendations. Amazingly, Mike also has a great sense of décor. When encountering a room that was dated or just plain ugly, he offered suggestions on how to bring out the natural beauty of the room and how much the changes would cost.
Once we decided on a home, he became an aggressive negotiator. He presented our offer with great skill and instilled a sense of urgency into the seller. His techniques were very effective in our favor. Mike didn't disappear after the contract had been negotiated. He kept in contact with us during the time between contract and closing, and followed through to ensure we were settled in our new home. He informed us when we needed to take action, and when we could just be patient.
When problems arose, Mike stayed positive and generated ideas to help us through the situation. He actually drove an hour out of his way to retrieve a document that was tardy, just to help us out. I would recommend Mike to anyone needing Real Estate services. Professionalism with a personal touch is how I would describe Mike Jaquish.
Sincerely,
Theodore & Teresa
Mike,
We wanted to let you know that if you are ever in need of a reference for potential real estate clients, we would be happy to give you a recommendation. Your service to us as a Buyer's Agent was exceptional. We appreciated your patient, down-to-earth, honest manner, as well as your great sense of humor.
On a practical note, your help was invaluable when we were looking at listings online from a distance. You answered specific questions about properties and even previewed those we were most interested in seeing before our arrival in town. In touring properties, we never felt rushed or pressured. Your background in construction and knowledge of local conditions was a huge benefit in helping us make an informed decision. You were also an excellent negotiator on our behalf.
We are thrilled with our purchase and appreciate all you did to help us along the way.
Ted & Teresa

Mr. Jaquish
I would like to thank you for the work that you are putting into selling our mothers home on P....... Rd. I looked it up on the internet and was pleased to see what you have done. It brought back such a good feeling in my heart when I saw my moms house, I hope that things will work out and we can let someone feel the warmth that anyone who walked into that home felt when my mother was living.
Thank you,
Robin O.

Although I've never had to sell a property before, long or short distant, you made what I thought would have been very difficult, possible, and I thank you.
My Sisters and I are satisfied as I hope you and the buyer are.
I truly believe you were sent to us.
THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING.

Prospective Clients of Mike Jaquish:
As recent homebuyers, with Mike as our agent, we offer this letter in the highest recommendation of Mike Jaquish's services.
Being first time homeowners, we had done as much research into the prospect of owning our own home as we could but fell far short. Luckily for us, with Mike as our guide and representative, the process proved to be one of refreshing honesty, clear vision, endless patience and selfless dedication on Mike's part.
Once the three of us determined what we wanted and what we could afford, Mike utilized this information to locate and present only the properties satisfying our needs, avoiding the wasted time often spent viewing homes above our budget or below our spatial expectations. His expediency in locating properties as soon as they hit the market allowed us to bid quickly and his expertise and candor in interpreting the home reports prevented a couple of purchase disasters.
As we moved toward purchase, Mike worked flawlessly with our loan agent (Kevin Martini), leaving very little for my wife and I to worry about.
We now own the home we wanted in the place we wanted and consider Mike Jaquish in our circle of friends. We're sure anyone hiring Mike will feel the same.
Sincerely,
James and Ali

We were put in touch with Mike when my wife got an aggressive job transfer from Atlanta and a friend of a relative referred him. Even though we were only looking for a six month lease, Mike treated us as if we were property buyers. Within two days, and only five tours, we located a property to match our needs until we could get settled into Raleigh. He was great! We plan to use his services again when we are shopping for a real home this fall.
