Eastern NC Surfing Information

Michele Connors, Broker in Charge (Coldwell Banker First Realty Morehead City) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 08:05:30 -0500

Being an East Coast gal, Ive had the Atlantic ocean as my playground all my life!

I know there's fierce competition about which coast is best and which orientation is better for board activity. End result, our water is warmer and season is longer for wave action... !

Our Crystal Coast attracts surfers, long boarders, paddle boarders.... even wake board and boogie board riders. Our coastal waters attracts youngsters to the more matured ( and often mastered ) riders. Beginners to World Class Champions.

Here are a few useful resources for surf reports, locations for lessons and web cams for live shots :

Janeanne Narrin- Our Eco Realtor and Adored AR Member

Michele Connors, Broker in Charge (Coldwell Banker First Realty Morehead City) — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 13:38:56 -0500

This post is to publicly Thank our very own janeAnne for staying authentic to her passion for eco-friendly real estate and for mentioning ActiveRain / Localism in the May-June 2009 Issue of The NC Association of Realtors magazine Insight.

The feature discussed breaking thru the barriers online and creating a presence to the audience you connect with the most. In janeAnne's interview she shared her interest in rapport and relationship building via her online portals- including ActiveRain and Localism. As a published author we all have come to know janeAnne has a way of painting a portrait thru her poetry and an eloquence in her writings about the fields, the mountains and the streams running through her Asheville/ Western NC area and market. She shared how writing beyond the brick and mortar allow for the connection to the soul of the property she ultimately is able to sell.

Drop janeAnne a congratulations note to applaud her with me on the great spotlight feature and for giving AR/Localism a shout out !

Happy Birthday Grandpa.. My Memorial Day Tribute to YOU

Michele Connors, Broker in Charge (Coldwell Banker First Realty Morehead City) — Mon, 25 May 2009 16:25:25 -0500

Dempsey Hamilton ,my Grandpa and hero, shared a smile with everyone he came into contact with. It was an infectious smile...I actually think his eyes danced when he laughed.

Grandpa was one of 10 children. By 8th grade he dropped out of school to work in a sawmill and help provide for his large family. To me he was wiser than any man with a PhD.

In 1939, at age 19 he and four of his brothers- yes five boys in one family- served in WWII. Then the Korean War. All five made it back. He gave 20 years and retired in 1959. He was a man of few words about his experience at war. He was not interested in sharing and we knew this was his way of keeping it in the past. He loved life, his family and his country.

Yes, I know this is a Veteran type of post BUT his Birthday is this week... and Memorial weekend was when we celebrated....he would have been 89.

Grandpa, or Popeye as my kids called him ( chewed a big wad of tobacco) , was king of the BBQ and enjoyed feeding large crowds of family and friends. It was our official way to start the summer, end the school year and spend time together. Tonight I will be grilling steaks, adding brown sugar to the beans just like he did ...and thinking about his genuine smile and how special me made me feel.

Happy Birthday Grandpa...we love and miss you every day.

Morehead City NC : Session with the Town Manager Randy Martin

Michele Connors, Broker in Charge (Coldwell Banker First Realty Morehead City) — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 09:37:07 -0500

This week I had the opportunity to sit with other local Managing Brokers and listen to the Morehead City Town Manager Randall "Randy" Martin discuss the local budget and cost effective planning from his perspective.

"Shining Moments " are discussed as Manager Martin reviews his course of action to maintain low tax rate for citizens while continuing slow growth/ economic development.

tax rate post

Current projects funded and moving along smoothly include Recreation/Parks and Leisure general fund of 12.7 million (project costs- land owned ) which are building walking trails, fishing piers and a very impressive new ballpark. He found that NOW is a great time to get bid as contractors are competing for business and in return the town is receiving impressive quotes.

As a side note : With proper planning the town has acquired land in a cost effective manner going from 8 acres of acquired land in 1994 to 80 acres currently for Parks /Rec and Leisure !

With property values receding, it is apparent that next valuation will reflect a dip in value due to sellers needing to sell. Impressively, 2008 Tax collection came in over 99% which has kept the revenue structure in line.

(This and smart growth have allowed for improvements to continue without citizens picking up cost via tax rate. When 2008 valuation occurred, the rate was dropped to "even" the costs.)

We are awaiting the Obama package and have 15 million allocated with 12 million being used for utilities. An environmentally friendly water treatment plant is on task.

Bidding is taking place for the old high school to be converted to a new centralized county emergency operations call center for 911 and dispatch.

The session was very insightful to learning that Morehead City is stable and the economy is lending opportunity for improvements to the area. I will be looking forward to hearing more about the projected Saltwater Fishing Hall of Fame Facility and the Morehead City Downtown Revitalization Project that will be adding water access/ day docks for boaters to stop at our local establishments and shoppes on the Waterfront.... We all know Morehead City is a Fishermans Paradise and we want to welcome visitors both by land and sea!

Morehead Voted Best Fishing Town in America Post

Should you decide buying a Piece of Paradise is in order... Give me a call, Now is a GREAT time to BUY!

I would love to show you around and assist with your purchase.

I love the Spring...

and what a better way to display the colors of the island than thru scenery!

Colorful cottages and streetscapes adorn the shoreline, displaying the vibrancy and personality of the "Crystal Coast".. Turn up your speakers and travel with me

Welcoming vacationers and visitors with a rainbows display of spectacular color!

Located in Carteret County, the Bogue Banks ( aka Southern Outer Banks)

consists of a 21 mile island strip of 5 municipalities:

Plenty to do East to West:

Atlantic Beach- Great community with Fort Macon State Park at the point. Fishing pier at Oceanna and public beach access located at the circle which is under construction for the up and coming Grove project. Movies, shopping and dining... await you.

Pine Knoll Shores- Great location and home to the NC Aquarium..a newly renovated show stopper with the cutest otters and of course fish of varying species...fresh and salt water. Homes are in the Pine Knoll township or Beacons Reach association which is a very popular residential community (Marina,pools,tennis, beach access etc)

Salter Path & Indian Beach - Quaint smaller fishing hub with the well known Big Oak Drive in featuring shrimp burgers ! Rent a jet ski and play in the sound or visit the Indian Beach public access which has bathrooms and showers. Take time play a game of putt-putt golf or ride a go-cart around the track.

Emerald Isle- The community that lured me here years ago! Family friendly atmosphere, dining, shoppes and movie theater. Water park with slides , putt-putt courses, go cart track, ice cream parlors, fishing pier, community center, and new walking trail. Sidewalk paths have been added to make getting around by foot and bike easy.

With the ocean on the south side and sound on the north...water is simply a way of life here!

Walking the shoreline barefoot or boating in the sound is better than any therapy avaiable!
