Head to the Reptile Room to see some of our exotic reptiles such as bearded dragons, ball pythons, and Burmese pythons! Head through our indoor animal area of our main building to see exotic birds, iguanas and more! If you have any questions on any of the animals that you see on your visit or on the facility itself, be sure to find someone in a “Zoo Staff” T-Shirt and they will be happy to answer your questions!

“I personally can say that B&J Heating and Air Services exceeded by expectations. I have been experiencing issues with cooling my home the past couple of summers however this summer it was clear I needed a professional to pinpoint the issues. I had one business come out assess the problem, thinking it was a simple fix I followed instructions and still, NO cold air coming from my vents. A trusted source mentioned I need to reach out to B&J Heating & Air to help me and sure enough, Ben came out about 2 hours after our first call and was able to figure the problem and offered solutions and would be back that following Monday (SLOW freon leak causing NO cold air and a sky rocketing bill). Once the weekend passed Ben was back with a fix to my problem and I had my unit back up and running in no time and all at a great price! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND BEN AND HIS TEAM AT B&J Heating and Air.” -Haylee Kinlaw (Front Porch Realty                                                                         Marketing Manager)

MARKET UPDATE YEAR-END 2022 | SW WAKE COUNTY

Happy New Year!
 
Just when we thought real estate in the Triangle could not surprise us anymore! 2023 brings us a much slower-paced market with months of inventory just beginning to look slightly balanced. Our buyers slowed way down; I believe partly because they were priced right out of the market with the rising interest rates as well as out of an abundance of caution.  Rents are high, but house payments are even higher.  I believe buyers at every life stage took a step back and are cautiously analyzing what is important to them in their household. Despite that, the Triangle is continuing to experience record growth which will continue to bring the buyers to our area. We will continue to see a shortage of re-sale homes as those re-sale owners that have refinanced are choosing not to go anywhere.
 
See our Year-End 2022 Market update here –
4th Q 2022
 
Front Porch Realty has exciting news; we are getting ready to offer Property Management services for residential and multi-family units. Watch for our public announcement coming soon and let us know if we can help you, or anyone you know, with their property management needs. We have invested in a streamlined program/app that is going to make it super easy for the renter and landlord! Be sure to follow along to stay in the know of all of our happenings!
