beaches: Luau in the Land of Abundance - Noontime at Signature's Sea Brooke in Leland, NC - 06/02/09 02:17 PM
Well, it was a hot day today in Southeastern North Carolina - perfect for a Signature Homes' Luau in LA at their environmentally-designed SeaBrooke development in Leland. Getting ready for the event. This SeaBrooke model was a Parade of Homes Bronze Award Winner. The party Luau theme was promoted with vigor and hilarity by Christy and Greg Beck. Music for the event was provided by the Pantastic Steel Band. Catering by Charles Davis himself of Saw Mill Catering. Good, good stuff - my fav was the Caribbean style chicken. As you can see from the following four photos, area REALTORs showed … (0 comments)

beaches: Social Media Test for Selling two Great New Listings in Brunswick Forest - Come to Open Houses to Win Golf, Beer, Food or Concert Tix! - 06/01/09 11:20 PM
I'm generally an energetic guy but today I'm practically tripping over myself as I work on this blog post. I have two fantastic new listings in the esteemed Jefferson Landing section of Brunswick Forest and I'm pulling out all the stops to get as many people to see these great houses as we can during the month of June. Because these two existing homes are such super deals, I am confident they will go under contract during the first few weeks but I want everyone who's interested to have a chance to check them out. Here's the quick version: come to … (0 comments)

beaches: Calypso Green Parade of Homes Party at Grayson Park in Leland, NC - 04/27/09 12:52 AM
Saturday afternoon Marge and I went to Grayson Park in Leland, NC for two reasons. The first was to tour and talk about Stevens Fine Homes solar model featured in Grayson Park. The second reason was to party! As soon as we got to the clubhouse and said hello we headed over to the solar model home. From the front the house looks like the other homes on the street, but state-of-the-art solar panels on the back roof provide all the energy used by the house. Here's developer and builder Craig Stevens talking about the solar home and the party! We … (0 comments)

beaches: Leland New Home Community Tours and Events at Compass Pointe and Brunswick Forest - 04/17/09 08:43 PM
My good friend and HDTV expert Alfred Poor follows my blog and has exclaimed more than once that it seems I spend a lot of time eating for free at Realtor events. And of course he's right (he generally is) but as a working member of the technology press for nigh on to 30 years (he started young), Alfred works his own way well around a promotional luncheon, I know for a fact. This week I laid kinda low on the meal circuit, but Thursday and Friday made up for it at events involving Compass Pointe and Brunswick Forest, two of … (0 comments)

beaches: Can You Find a Better House in Inland Greens? - A Challenge - 04/15/09 09:39 PM
Check out the photo above. Can you believe this is not a model home? The owners of this very well priced, three bedroom two and half bath golf course patio home in Inland Greens did such an outstanding job of preparing it to sell that it almost defies comparison. So far the folks who've looked at this home, whether potential buyers, Realtors, or neighbors, have all been blown away by how clean and beautiful it is. Another interesting fact: much of the interest has been from folks who already live in Inland Greens who want to share the "secret" of their … (0 comments)

beaches: The Secret Life of Real Estate Agents - 03/17/09 09:45 PM
What really goes on after hours in a Wilmington/Leland, North Carolina real estate office. Many people think that all real estate agents do is look stuff up on computers, drive around, look at houses, try to figure out what contracts and forms really mean, and add up and subtract numbers. That's just not so. This short video reveals the secret life of real estate agents - one anyway. If you can't see the video above, click on this: http://beingbruce.blogspot.com/2009/03/secret-life-of-real-estate-agent.html … (2 comments)

beaches: Olive oil as a sunscreen at the East Coast surfing capital - 03/09/09 08:15 AM
As many people know, Wrightsville Beach in the Wilmington, North Carolina area has the best ocean surfing on the east coast of the U.S. If you don't know that, it might interest you to know that we have lots of surfing tournaments here, that during the summer surf camps and school are a minor but very busy industry, and that surfers can be seen in the water pretty much year round. In this short video, which is admittedly a little silly (!), I demonstrate that just because I share the same name (Bruce Brown) of the guy who made the original … (3 comments)

beaches: Why I think you should buy 9372 Lyn Marie Drive in Leland, NC 28451 - 03/05/09 09:59 PM

Here's a terrific buy in Leland, NC, the hottest real estate market in Brunswick County in southeastern North Carolina (can you say "beaches and golf"?). This brand new home on a half acre is priced incredibly well. The back yard is half open for flexible use and half wooded for privacy. Very very nice open floor plan. You've got to see the inside of this house to experience all the cool design features the builders employed, spacious and gracious - it's equally great for entertaining and just everyday living. No HOA means no extra dues and you can park your … (0 comments)

beaches: Oops, this one's under contract already! Who said there's no market? - 03/05/09 09:46 PM
This great listing in Magnolia Greens Golf Plantation in Leland, NC is under contract. This is a clear indication that there are buyers out there and they will buy if the price is right! I've noticed in the last few months that paying attention to the news media about the market is pretty self-defeating. There ARE buyers, they CAN get mortgages, and they WILL close on contracts. So y'all can fret if you want, I'm busy marketing my listings. Oh yeah, and I'd love comments on the video. I'm experimenting with video in blogs and other places, so let me know … (0 comments)
