cape story: The Bats Are Coming to the Bay Area! - Shore Drive, Virginia Beach
- 03/07/11 01:09 PM
Please visit this link to learn about the efforts to bring more bats to the Shore Drive area in Virginia Beach, VA, just outside First Landing State Park. Our good friend Marty Schuman can be seen at -0:44. http://www.wvec.com/my-city/vabeach/Bat-colony-planned-for-Virginia-Beach-neighborhood-117544193.html
Last Spring I found this very tiny baby bat in my yard.
He climbed up and got between 2 chunks of bark on my large Live Oak. He hooked his claws into the tree, swung upside down, and hung out until dark.
cape story: Fire Threatens Cape Story By The Sea on Shore Drive!
- 02/19/11 04:57 AM
With such windy conditions on 19 February, 2011, this was a dangerous situation. The fire traveled from behind Long Creek Cove Condos, east to Maple Street, then south toward the east end of Marina Shores boat docks. This has happened before but this time the blaze seemed quite substantial.
Those Pines are approx. 20-25 feet tall.
Fortunately the wind blew the best possible direction to avoid our homes. The VBFD responded quickly and got the job done. Saw my old friend Van Rutherford in the middle of the action. Much thanks to Van and his fellow firemen. … (0 comments)

cape story: Beach Sand Replenishment Reaches Cape Story By The Sea - Shore Drive Beaches, Virginia Beach
- 02/12/10 01:54 AM
The sand replenishment project has finally reached Cape Story By The Sea. The planned beach replenishment project by the Army Corps of Engineers and City of Virginia Beach experienced a major setback due to the November 2009 Nor'easter storm. Tons of existing beach sand was taken during three days of pounding. This week there has been much activity on the beach as crews haul sand from the dredge spoil site at the south end of Maple Street, to the beach access at Oak Street. The sand is then being hauled down the beach by several large dump trucks and the spread around with bulldozers … (2 comments)

cape story: Home Pricing Even More Crucial Now Than Ever
- 05/14/08 03:04 PM
In my local market we had a rough Fall of 07 and a very slow Spring 08. Many buyers are still holding out, either waiting for the market to "bottom out", or waiting to sell their current home. Many sellers are still thinking they have the last home that will sell for top dollar. Looking ahead, I am recommending aggressive pricing NOW as summer approaches. If a seller heads into August without a strong contract on their home, it could be a long winter. Both the sales and rental market cool off quite a bit in mid to late August in … (5 comments)
cape story: Fall Northeaster in Mid-May?
- 05/12/08 02:02 PM
Virginia Beach (Hampton Roads) is experiencing what feels like an October northeaster storm with 35-45 mph wind gusts and fairly substantial flooding. When the wind blows heavy out of the north or northeast we can expect the waterways to fill up and show higher than normal tides. I saw a couple homes in Cape Story, Bay Island, and Lynnhaven Colony where they should have probably gotten out the sandbags. No signs of global warming today. … (1 comments)
cape story: Capital Gains Tax on Residential Real Estate Transactions
- 04/28/08 06:13 AM
I often get asked about capital gains taxes that pertain to residential real estate that someone both has lived in and also rented to others. Currently, the capital gains tax rate is 15% of the gain. Now a property can be deemed a principal residence for tax purposes and sold without owing the tax if the following conditions apply: 1. You must have resided in the home for at least two of the last five years. The two years can be but do not need to be consecutive. 2. Another property cannot have been sold as a principal residence within two … (14 comments)
The entire Shore Drive / Chesapeake Bay beach area of Virginia Beach is a very desireable place to live. Sometimes it is referred to as Chicks Beach. Though I consider that to be the nickname of Chesapeake Beach, one of Shore Drive's unique neighborhoods. There is a wide variety in the types of homes in the Shore Drive cooridor. There are single family neighborhoods, condos, high-rises, townhomes, duplexes, deep waterfront, and bayfront. The area attracts families, young professionals, military personnel, and empty-nesters alike. Close by there are good schools, restaurants, marinas, and of course, the beautiful southern end of the … (2 comments)
We finally get a nice, warm, and sunny Saturday to head for the beach. Here is my youngest boy checking out another one Saturday night. The sun sets over the bay here for most of the Spring and Summer. You can tell who on the beach watching has been to Key West, by the clapping at the precise moment the sun goes below the horizon. -Mark … (0 comments)

Do you own rental property in Cape Story By The Sea? I do, and I also live there. I believe that property in the neighborhood is an excellent long term investment, maybe having the best future appreciation potential in all of Virginia Beach. Its proximity to the Chesapeake Bay, First Landing State Park, and the Lynnhaven River watershed, make the neighborhood very desirable. I am REALTOR with RE/MAX Alliance. I sell homes but also manage residential rentals. If you own a home in the neighborhood that you rent out or are considering renting your home, or if you are looking to buy in Cape Story, please give me a call. I … (1 comments)

I have made a conscious effort to increase my presence on Google and Yahoo through SEO.

There was a time when I could Google my name and my website would not show up at all, and my domain name is "(my name) dot com".
