Greg Rapp, of Wallace Realty Company in historic downtown Salisbury North Carolina, has a passion for history and preservation, and was himself recognized with a Preservation Professional of the Year Award at a past Historic Salisbury Foundation awards night.
More to the point, Greg Rapp's fingerprint is on many of these awards that come through the HSF recognition program:
Priscilla wanted to live somewhere where historic preservation was important. Priscilla found Realtor® Greg Rapp through his website at www.RealEstateSalisbury.net, and has been recognized repeatedly for the work she has done in renovating the historic home.
Elysia and Tim Demers worked with Greg Rapp to purchase their circa 1900 Victorian home in the cusp neighborhood of Chestnut Hill...and the face of the neighborhood will never be the same!
Historic Salisbury Foundation executed its option to buy the circa 1900 Victorian home at 820 South Jackson St. ~ and with the services of Greg Rapp, sold it with protective covenants to Elysia and Tim. The couple often expresses how invaluable Greg Rapp was in helping them work through the special processes a purchase of this sort involves. Since moving into their historic home, Elysia has been a calalyst in neighborhood improvement, bringing the City of Salisbury's award winning BlockWork program to the community, and even installing a neighborhood park!Elysia & Tim had this to say about working with Greg Rapp of Wallace Realty:
Since 1983, Historic Salisbury Foundation has celebrated local historic preservation successes by presenting Preservation Awards to individuals, companies, and projects demonstrating various areas of excellence in preservation. This event is typically held in May, which is National Preservation Month.
Nominations are accepted from the public throughout the year and reviewed by a committee of preservation leaders in Rowan County. Projects completed within the past three years in Rowan County are eligible to receive an award.
HSF's Preservation Awards are made from bricks salvaged from the 1896 Grimes Mill, a roller mill which was lost to fire in January 2013.The Salisbury-Rowan community embraces historic preservation and is proud of the Preservation Award Winners each year! And behind the scenes, real estate agent Greg Rapp will continue to make his mark bringing preservation minded buyers and old-house enthusiasts to the area!
