- 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)

- 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.

bruce brown: Wilmington Tweetup a Cheesy Success!!
- 05/28/09 02:51 AM
The 3rd Wilmington Tweetup was in Wilmington Wednesday evening, hosted by Hagood Homes and sponsored by Front Street Brewery and Chris's Cosmic Kitchen. The event was well attended and perhaps because it was held in one of Hagood's beautiful model homes at Southern Oak, it felt like a house party. Marge and I were a bit late arriving due to a fractured frammis (or something) in Marge's car, but even though we got there for only the last 30 minutes or so, it was a high-energy event. Lots of info sharing about Twitter and other social media, new acquaintances, and even … (0 comments)
bruce brown: Can You Tell What This Is?
- 05/27/09 06:37 AM
We were on a walk in Annsdale Park in Brunswick Forest in Leland, NC and noticed something up ahead. Can you tell what it is? Look on the ground, just off the sidewalk on the right side a bit before the tree. A closer look, can you tell yet?
Can you see now? Now you can see the nesting bird, right?
I was able to get very close and she (I presume) didn't move a bit.
Later in the day we came back and this is what we saw: The mother bird and the father, who's also in the area … (0 comments)

Well we had another great turnout at the North Brunswick Chamber of Commerce Business After Hours Friday late afternoon and evening. Sponsored by Carolina Roofing and HydroStop roof sealing , approximately 100 folks laughed, talked, ate, talked, won prizes, ate, and laughed some more.

Don Gardner of HydroStop kicked of the event with a welcome and a brief talk about his company's sealing system. Sounds like a great way to seal off roofs pretty much forever. … (0 comments)
bruce brown: What I've Learned About Blog "Voice" and Consistency
- 05/01/09 09:05 PM
Earlier this week I posted on my personal blog (www.beingbrucebrown.com) a Fox News clip with the CEO of Coldwell Banker's suggestions for how to turn around the economy and get the housing market re-started. Good stuff and all and, on the national level probably valid and if the steps he suggest were implemented it would have local effect as well. However, in hindsight, it was a mistake to put that content on my blog. I'm not taking it down because that would be wussie (corrected spelling welcomed!) but I'm not going there again. So here's what I learned. 1. Not to … (0 comments)

- 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)

bruce brown: 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)
bruce brown: 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)
