Dan In The Sand - Coastal Delaware Real Estate

Dan In The Sand - Coastal Delaware Real Estate Hi, I'm Dan, your Coastal Delaware real estate expert. As a buyer, you will find a great house at a fair price, which will provide you with years of enjoyment.

My goal for you, as a seller or buyer, is that you walk away from the settlement table thinking, “what a great job Dan did.” As a seller, you will receive the best possible price in the shortest amount of time, allowing for the change in your life that you have been eagerly awaiting. In both cases, everyone gets what they anticipate. A boring, uneventful settlement is what everyone wants. It means

that there are not any unresolved issues to be addressed in the eleventh hour. A calm and pleasant settlement is always possible, if the little details are thoroughly dealt with as they arise. All the “t’s” get crossed and all “i’s” get dotted. Nothing is left for interpretation. Everyone knows what to expect and when to expect it. I want my buyers to owe a bit less then anticipated, and my sellers, receive a bit more than expected. While all agents, myself included, are working for a commission to pay their bills and provide for their families, I’m working for an experience. An experience that is so exceptional, my clients feel compelled to write a few words that can be shared with future buyers and sellers. When my clients are in social settings where someone mentions “real estate,” I want them to join the conversation and insist that the person gives me a call. In their minds, they would never consider using anyone other than Dan Thiewes. The thought of buying perhaps the largest item in your life, or selling the house that you have called home for years, can be overwhelming. Make sure that you have someone at your side, someone who is watching out for your best interests every step of the way. Talk with you soon!

​18341 Highwood Drive, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971

$825,000

You can stop looking - this is the total package. This home has been lightly used and is bright, fresh, and move-in ready. It's located in a wonderful neighborhood of only 131 houses that is just 4.3 miles to the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk. Downtown Lewes is 5.3 miles, and another 1.4 miles gets you to the Lewes Ferry.

The original owner selected wonderful upgrades that make this a special house. The kitchen features GE Profile appliances, a five-burner cooktop, and expansive island. Your new living room has a stylish coffered ceiling. The primary bathroom has a generously-sized shower with twin shower heads. The expanded closet totally eliminates the crowding of your clothes. A 1/4-acre lot is a refreshing change from the smaller lots commonly found in this area.

Leave your lawn mower behind – the HOA takes care of the mowing of the yards along with weeding and feeding during the season. They also take care of the front garden beds by edging, mulching and pruning. A sprinkler system is included for the yard. The thick trees behind the house offer privacy and enjoyment of the wildlife.

A large, unfinished basement presents many options besides just wonderful storage space. A passive radon mitigation system is also installed for peace of mind.

It is a great pleasure to recommend Johnny Sanchez and his painting company. We have used him twice in two different homes and have always been extremely satisfied with the job that he has done. He is easy to get a hold off, arrives on time and immediately gets to work. His team is careful and only gets paint on the walls where it belongs. Besides this, they are super friendly and their prices are fair. We can’t recommend them more highly.

A few kind words from Lori and Guillermo after selling their wonderful house in Rehoboth Beach;

Dan did an absolute amazing job selling our home here in Rehoboth. He was always available at any time of the day or night. Dan's kindness and concerns for our needs were always met. Not only did we have a new realtor, but we gained a very good friend. His support during this process was unwavering, any question we had was always answered. The pictures that Dan and his photographer made for the online account were
fantastic. Thank you, Dan for everything that you have done Guillermo and I know that we have met a friend for life. You're the best.

How wonderful to have a community pond with ducks and swans! The ducks are real but the swans are rubber - supposedly they keep the Canada geese away? They fooled me.

What do you think? Are Homeowner Associations a good idea? If there is a limit to the number of pets (2?) then they are probably OK? Pet type and size might be a problem here. How happy do you think the neighbor is?

Are you looking for your beach home? This one is perfect for the downsizing buyer or the first time buyer. The Lewes ferry terminal is only 9 miles / 20 minutes away and Rehoboth Beach board walk is 11.5 miles / 26 minutes away - pretty close. This forward thinking original owner opted for the builder open-concept floor plan. The gourmet kitchen with the welcoming island is truly the center of your living space. The vaulted ceiling in the back side of the house gives a wonderful airy feeling. The seller has optimized the storage and organizing potential with California Closets in the Primary bedroom & bath, laundry, bedroom #2 and certainly the garage. Other upgrades that make the living even more enjoyable are: Gutter guard (w/lifetime transferable warranty), ceiling fans, whole house water filtration and kitchen reverse osmosis drinking water systems. Be sure to check out the over $37K worth of upgrades list in the document folder. This house has a lot to offer.

This is the house you have been waiting for. The seller's have totally updated the whole house and went first class with every choice they made. All three full bathrooms are stylish and special with LED lighted mirrors, granite counter tops, new fixtures and wonderful tile work. The lower level is extra special with a wet-bar, full bath, bedroom with a sitting room and walkout to a covered patio. The main level features a propane corner fireplace and a screen porch with privacy curtains and blinds. Custom wall molding adds a one of a kind touch to the living room and dining room. The kitchen is pure gourmet with a careful selection of appliances; Viking 4-burner propane convection stove, Bosch microwave and dishwasher and Samsung 3-door refrigerator. All are new in 2020. Two color cabinets, tile backsplash, under cabinet lights and a commercial style faucet complete the package. The upper level has the Samsung washer and dryer for convenient laundry needs. Both bedrooms enjoy the spaciousness that cathedral ceilings provide and adjoining private bathrooms. But wait, there is more. The house is being sold totally furnished. What you see is what you will get. This could be a great rental (it's never been rented) as the community does not have rental restrictions. Minor exclusions for personal effects. There is easy access to the bike path and the beach without having to get on Coastal Hwy. This one is special. Have fun visiting it.

This wonderful property checks all the "I wish it had" boxes. Besides being a large 2,193 ft on one level, it's accessible by way of a secure elevator from the protected parking garage below the units. In fact, the assigned parking space is right next to the elevator. The floor plan has a smart separation of the primary suite from the other 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms with the open space of Dining room, living room and kitchen between them. The nicely sized private balcony has a tranquil view of the Lewes and Rehoboth Canal and the periodic passing of boats. The community even has a private boat launch for kayaks, small boats and paddle boards. Access to the Rehoboth beach and boardwalk is easy without having to get on Coastal Hwy. The short trip is only 1.8 miles using the side streets. The newer LVP flooring is everywhere except for the ceramic tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. For non-beach days the community pool is just steps away. Call, email, text or message to schedule your private viewing.

Everyone wants to be trusted. In fact, isn’t that the ultimate compliment? In December, I got the ultimate compliment from Beth and Scott.

Early on the day after Thanksgiving I received a text from my out-of-state buyers who have been searching for the perfect investment property at the beach. They wanted a place that they could enjoy with their family and still earned some rental income when they weren’t using it. They had noticed that a property just came on the market that checked all the boxes. Due to them being 3.5 hours away, we decided to do a Facetime walk around to see if it was even a contender. It turns out it was and they wanted to write a contract. I was a bit surprised that they were willing to write a contract without actually walking through it first. They said they were OK moving forward as “we trust you, Dan”. Wow – OK, onward. Even though we wrote a really strong contract, we got out-bid. Back to the drawing board.

Five days later, another property came on the market in another community that fit the bill, even though it had some structural issues that needed attention. The townhouse was priced to allow for the repair work to be done and my buyers were willing to move forward with it, subject to a home inspection. We did a Facetime walkaround and I took lots of pictures of the many areas with issues. Once again, we got out-bid with a higher price that did not have a home inspection contingency. Ok, best wishes for these buyers. Once again, back to the drawing board.

Days later, a third property came on the market back at the first community. We did the Facetime walkaround, felt good about what we saw and wrote a nice contract that succeeded this time. The contract was ratified on December 13th and we settled on January 3rd. A pretty quick turn-around but very doable when everyone stays focused on making the settlement date work.

On the morning of the 3rd we did our walk through prior to settlement and the buyers walked into their soon-to-be new house for the first time. They both immediately said “this is great”. After settlement I expressed my amazement that they would buy a house without actually walking through it. Once again, they both said “Dan, we trust you”. For an ultimate compliment, it doesn’t get any better than this.

Are you thinking of buying or selling here at the beach? If so, let me be your trusted agent. Call, text, message or email me and let’s get the beach ball rolling.
