II CHOOSING THE RIGHT COMMUNITY FOR YOU II Even if you don't have children, buying in a district with strong schools is a smart financial move. Quality school districts often hold their property value better during market downturns and resell faster. Always keep your future buyer in mind!

II WE ARE T.CARNEY II Meet Steven – our Executive Assistant!

Steven's path to our team is anything but ordinary. He studied French and Theatre in Cannes, France, taught English in Kyoto, Japan, and spent over a decade in interpreting services at Gallaudet University, the world's leading institution for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing. He's fluent in French, Japanese, and American Sign Language, and has a genuine passion for people and communication that shows in everything he does.

Before joining us full-time, Steven spent nine years with the City of Rehoboth Beach, where he worked directly with our team on property transfers and tax billing. Safe to say, he hit the ground running.

Outside the office, Steven is a fixture on the local theatre scene, having performed in over 25 productions across Kent and Sussex Counties. When he's not on stage, you'll find him at the beach with his dog. Steven keeps the office running smoothly and we are so happy to have him on our team!

II WHY T.CARNEY II When it comes to real estate law in Sussex County, experience and local knowledge matter. A lot.

T. Carney Sussex Law was built specifically for this community. We're not a big, impersonal firm from out of town. We're your neighbors, and we know this market inside and out.

Whether you're buying your first home, selling a property, or navigating a complex real estate transaction, having a local team in your corner makes all the difference. We know the area. We know the process. And we know how much these moments matter to the people we serve.

Our goal has always been simple: provide the kind of high-quality legal service you'd expect from a big-city firm, right here at the beach, at a price that makes sense.

If you have a real estate transaction coming up and want a team that genuinely cares about getting it right, we'd love to hear from you. Give us a call at (302) 567-2727

II HOW TO AVOID PROBLEMS AT CLOSING II Stuck waiting for “Clear to Close”?

Mortgage approval delays are a common hurdle, often caused when lenders need one last piece of documentation, specifically regarding Homeowner Associations (HOAs).

Our advice? Be proactive!
Maintain clear lines of communication with your lender regarding the status of their review. If they are stuck waiting on an insurance policy declaration from the HOA, you or your agent may be able to step in and get that info from the property management company faster.

Teamwork makes for a timely closing!

Avoid problems at the closing table by working with a top-tier legal team. With offices in Rehoboth Beach, Wilmington, and Bethany Beach, T. Carney Sussex Law is everywhere you want to be! Schedule your appointment today: 302-567-2727

II NEW HOME ADVICE II The "Hidden" Cost of Homeownership.

When you rent, a broken HVAC is the landlord's problem. When you own, it's your problem. Unfortunately, capital improvements, like roofs, plumbing, and HVAC troubles, are inevitable. Insurance covers accidents, but it doesn't cover old age. So, how do you prepare?

The 1% Rule: We recommend budgeting 1% of your home's purchase price, per year, for maintenance.
So … $400k home = $4,000/year in the maintenance fund.

If you buy an older home, you may need even more. Start that reserve fund on day one so you don’t get caught in a sticky situation!
