brunswick county: 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.

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)

brunswick county: 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)

- 05/01/09 09:24 PM
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. Below NBCC volunteers Sharon Forsman and Gina Schiess made sure we signed in correctly. If we didn't we weren't given a ticket for the drawings. 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)

- 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)

brunswick county: 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)
brunswick county: Even More Ridiculous - Video while on the phone, driving, and texting
- 03/28/09 06:46 AM
In this PARODY of safe driving, videoing, texting, and phone calling all at the same time, North Carolina real estate agent Bruce Brown yet again makes a point. Apparently when I made the first video and posted it here a couple people thought I was being serious. Ah, no, it was supposed to be funny. The funniest thing, however, to me, is that my clients, my managers, and my colleagues thot it was a complete hoot. So, perhaps to make the point more strongly, or just to have more fun, I made it even better (or worse, depending on your perspective). (1 comments)
brunswick county: A Clean Shirt - Yes, It Does Have to do with Real Estate - sorta
- 03/07/09 10:59 PM
Do you use Twitter? Lots of my friends, clients, and prospects do. This short video, which was "inspired" by a Twitter conversation with some friends from Pennsylvania, demonstrates how you can add value to conversations and still tie in information about your local area. In our case, the Wilmington area weather is so mild (relatively) that we can canoe or kayak year round, so it's not unusual for us to make references to being on the beach or paddling on the river in February. From that reference sprung a comment that lead to this video. (0 comments)

- 03/07/09 10:52 PM
There's a cool new village called Shelmore in the gigundo planned development Brunswick Forest in Leland, North Carolina. There are 18 floor plans available with at least 3 possible elevations for each. Right now there are 6 furnished models to tour.

As usual for Brunswick Forest neighborhoods most everything one would want is standard (granite, stainless steel appliances, lots of crown molding and cool (0 comments)
