If you live in coastal North Carolina or plan to relocate to the area, you are or will be involved in water related activities. It's a way of life and what a life! There's nothing quite like a day out on the water.
Wherever you live in Onslow County N C be it Hubert, Swansboro or Jacksonville, you probably own a watercraft or have friends who own one and chances are very good that you will have the opportunity to be on the water this July 4th holiday weekend.
There will be lots of boats out so boaters will need to "boat offensively and responsibly". The Coast Guard will also be out monitoring boaters and their equipment so be sure you have life jackets aboard for all passengers.
Many families just want to spend a day at the beach and if you have just relocated to Camp LeJeune Marine Base, New River Air Station or the Naval Hospital at Camp LeJeune, you might not be aware of all the Onslow County North Carolina Beaches and Accesses.
I am a Buyer Representative. My goal is to find the right house for my clients and in the process hopefully find a buyer who will want to buy the house you are selling. I know that it is frustrating when I call for an appointment and you get all ready to show your home then I call and say that I need to cancel. I am deeply aware of how exhausting it is for you. Please understand that it is equally frustrating and disappointing to me to work hard preparing to show your home only to have my buyer client call to cancel or to tell me at the last minute that they no longer need to see the house that they put on their list because they have decided sight unseen that it will not do for them.
I also know that it is frustrating to you when I call through your agent to tell you that we are running late. I can not help it if the tour I arraigned with experience to include some leeway time gets blown by a late arrival of the buyers or the one house that they want to linger in longer than anticipated. I try to move things along but they are truly in charge and to frustrate them with tight scheduling will not encourage them to buy any house let alone yours. The last thing you want is a rushed and harried buyer breezing through your house with a cursory look.
Things happen; people become ill; car's break down; the weather may be horrible; people change their minds: etc. etc. As a guide I can not control many of the outside forces that determine whether or not I can get those buyers to your door on time or at all. I promise you that I make every effort to get them there because I want to sell your house. I make my living by selling people houses. I really have no other intention. I do not "derail the train" on purpose and I am truly sorry that you are disappointed by a no show or a late arrival.
My promise to you is that I will do my best minimize the number of no shows by assisting my clients in narrowing choices to the most likely. I will make every effort to keep to the schedule once it is established. I will call as soon as I can if we are going to be late. I will not ever purposely create work for you that results in a no show but please note that I can not control every aspect of this. The buyers are in charge and I am just there to help them. Hopefully I will help them find their way to your door and they will fall in love with your house.
I wish you the best with your efforts to sell your house. I hope it sells quickly and you are soon moving on to your new place.

It's a well know fact in the Jacksonville, Onslow County NC area----Camp LeJeune Marine Base hosts the very best 4th of July Celebration. The fireworks display is always awesome! This year will be no exception.
Join Marine Corps Community Service Semper Fit Division in partnership with Tyson Foods Saturday, July 4th at W.P.T Field on base for an evening filled with food, fun and music!
A concert of patriotic music begins at 5:30 (make sure you carry lawn chairs and/or blankets) featuring Camp LeJeune's 2nd Marine Division Band and the Carteret Choral Society.
Of course, the evening will end with a spectacular fireworks display.
Do your children understand why we celebrate July 4th? Do they even know it is Independence Day? Educating our children about our country's history is one of the best ways to protect the future of our country. I found a good and simple article that you can share with your children "Fourth of July: Why We Celebrate".
Now that everyone understands why we celebrate, the question is where and how.

If you've been around here for any time at all, I'm sure you have run into Mike Jones aka Mike in Tucson. In my opinion, Mike is one of the good guys. His well written blogs and gorgeous photography make one want to pack their bags and book a flight to Tucson to explore the beautiful area.
Now, I've never met Mike in person but I've been reading his blogs here in the Rain for the last two years and I know Mike is the kind of lender to whom I would entrust my clients. His professionalism, knowledge and integrity are what make Mike in Tucson the Tuscan mortgage expert. And another thing I like about Mike.........he has a great sense of humor. That is very appealing to me, people that take themselves too seriously are shall we be kind and say "tiring".
A few weeks ago I received an email from Mike saying I just made the 100,000th (I think that's right) comment on his blog and he wanted to send me brownies because he "takes care of his people". I wasted no time sending Mike my mailing address and true to his word, I received a beautiful package this week and inside.........................oh my, the most scrumptious and sinful brownies I've tasted!
