Corolla Lighthouse Celebrates Birthday

One hundred and thirty five years ago on December 1, the Corolla Lighthouse lamp lit the night sky for the first time.
It still shines. The Corolla Lighthouse still protects mariners and welcomes all to the northern Outer Banks.
If you've ever visited the Corolla Lighthouse and climbed the 214 steps to the top you know the exhilaration and beauty that waits for you. The view will take your breath away ... once you catch it from the climb up.
If you have visited the Outer Banks and have not visited the Corolla Lighthouse, you should. … (3 comments)

outer banks: House Flooded Inside - 09/24/10 02:50 PM
House Flooded Inside!
This is a true story two times over. Several years ago one of my buyers in Ocean Sands on the Outer Banks had the ice maker water line fail and the house flooded inside. Since this was a rental home and in the off season, it was some time before the problem was found. And . . . the kitchen is on the top floor. Can you imagine the damage caused?!?
Then a few weeks ago one of my Kitty Hawk neighbors had the exact same problem. Of course, this is a second home so, once again, the … (2 comments)

Don't Let Life Get in the Way of Living
Times are tough. We held our breaths for so long that lack of oxygen has us in a fog. We used to listen to plans of our friends and neighbors for a comfortable future. Now those same people are just hoping to hold life together.
This is life. Some times good and some times not so. Well, let's do something about it. Don't let life get in the way of living!
If you want to have a taste of living instead of the daily round of live, plan a get away.

Yes, it is true. You can visit England without leaving the United States! Do you know how? Is this an unsolvable riddle?
There are actually three routes to accomplish how to visit England without leaving the United States. Head for the coast of North Carolina. Now you can choose driving most of the way by entering the Outer Banks from the north by Highway 158 at Kitty Hawk, enter from the west by Highway 264 into Nags Head. You can also take a ferry from the mainland from Swan Quarter or Cedar Island.

Adopt a Vulture Today
Perhaps you should consider this. Adopt a vulture today! Before you tell me how ugly they are with their disgusting habits, let me tell you why they are so beneficial to the environment. Perhaps you will change your mind about these birds.
Vultures may not be  beautiful to see, but consider they scavenge on dead animals which effectively rids the environment of disease. Are you convinced it is time to adopt a vulture today? What if I told you some of those diseases included botulinum toxin, cholera, and anthrax bacteria? Check it out on Wikipedia or other … (3 comments)

outer banks: Every neighborhood is different. So is every real estate market! - 02/11/10 12:58 PM
EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD IS DIFFERENT. SO IS EVERY REAL ESTATE MARKET!
We compare everything ... even when we shouldn't. Apples to oranges. Mars to Venus. Buyers market to sellers market. Why do we do that?
In the search for truth or a reasonable facsimile of it, we compare snow to ice, and, well, the list goes on.
So what's my point? Well, as every neighborhood is different, so is every real estate market! We agree that my neighborhood, even my street, is different than yours. So why should we think that a sellers' market can be compared to a buyers' market?
Again, … (0 comments)
