Michele Connors , Broker " Your Coastal Carolina Connection for Real Estate

Speechless Sunday: Morehead City Mooo to You !

Michele Connors, Broker in Charge (Coldwell Banker First Realty Morehead City) — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:44:49 -0600

When you think of Coastal Carolina, you may think sandy beaches and palm trees. This cow is part of a herd less than a mile from my home in Morehead City. It's cool to have cows mooing and rooster crowing in the morning while living a coastal life! The farm is situated along the Newport River which offers quite the view for this fella!

Remembering Beauty Is In The Eye of The Beholder ( Buyer )...

Michele Connors, Broker in Charge (Coldwell Banker First Realty Morehead City) — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 10:45:00 -0600

So, in Real Estate we have Sellers and Buyers.

Sellers are easy to "see into " as we preview their home and understand their lifestyle, taste and style of living by noticing their personal furnishings, color choices and sentimentals. We know more about them by seeing their surroundings. Sure makes our jobs easier when finding them a new home doesn't it ?

Buyers are quite different! We hear about their tastes, lifestyle and preference for home criteria. We often choose the homes we are going to show from these remarks. Many of us slip in listings that are general to their criteria but considered great for the area. Many times we end up selling them a home quite different from their original expectations don't we ?! Regardless, we go on their verbalization of what they are looking for and never get to see the home they are moving from.

My point is we can easily get sucked into sticking our foot in our mouth if we aren't careful. When showing homes we need to stand back and allow for the buyer to place themselves in that space ( and for us to not negatively comment about - colors, features, layouts or finishes ). Remember we haven't seen their homes- how they live or what their personal preferences are ... More listening, less vocalizing our opinions at this point!

Why you say ? Well, take Jack my English Bulldog for example! To me he is the cutest thing on Earth! To the local Highway Patrol that stopped me yesterday at a road block for license checks.. well, to him Jack wasn't that great. The officer literally told me 'that is a face only a mother could love!" INSULT! Ouch !

Let's be sure to point out mechanical or structural issues you detect during home showings ( because you are professional and look for items that could harm a sale) ..but.... let the beauty remain int the eye of the buyer/ beholder.

Here's Jack, what do you think ???!

Jack loves to sleep with his taffy hanging out!

The camera chirped when I turned it on for this picture & woke him from his mid-morning nap!

Thanks for reading my blog!

North Carollina ( Finally ) Bans Texting while Driving 12-1-09

Michele Connors, Broker in Charge (Coldwell Banker First Realty Morehead City) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 08:14:18 -0600

Although teens have been banned from this practice for the last two years, the updated North Carolina law comes into effect December 1, 2009 prohibiting all drivers from texting while driving... Horray!

This has been a concern of mine for quite some time as I have been at close "call" with a driver not paying attention that nearly collided with me on the road traveling at 55 mph. Very scary.

Link for Details on Fines

It is quite the era for "instant everything" but please remember the safety of others and put into reality all the horrific accidents we've seen on TV related to TWD (texting while driving ). Talk to your kids, share this with your friends and most importantly---take this law seriously. It could be your life saved or the lives of others around you.

He is stubborn by bulldog trait but has the best personality and demeanor.

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.
