ginger harper realtor brunswick county: All in a Day - 01/27/15 09:40 AM
It has been a good week this week.  Worked with Buyers yesterday and today it was sellers...
 
I have been fortunate enough to work face to face with sellers today.  I had listed one of their lots and they were going to take it off the market.  I did some research for them and suggested that they leave that lot on the market...because it can't sell if no one knows it is for sale..
 
They then asked to see if I would list one of their other lots.  They are excited to sell and we priced it at the … (0 comments)

ginger harper realtor brunswick county: I am Cleaning out my Database, are YOU? - 01/17/15 10:49 AM
 
 
Lisa Lowe wrote a great post regarding cleaning out your database..I am starting to do that..
 
I asked Lisa to please keep us posted. I have a data base with 4700 names in Top Producer.  I am always afraid to delete people.  I send an email out to all each month about the Stats of the Market.  Then those that do not have an email...about 1000...I send letters to.  In the long run...I am cleaning out bad leads...and tweeking the remaining ones..  It is a monumental task for me..

ginger harper realtor brunswick county: Do You Remember When? - 01/13/15 10:27 AM
As a young person, our family would watch TV on Saturday and Sunday evenings....Mama would pop ..popcorn and we would sit around and watch the Ed Sullivan Show.  We would see the new performers enter into the entertainment arena. 
 
I remember seeing Stevie Wonder doing the finger poppin thing and also the Jackson 5.  Elvis with his gyrating hips..and of course the BEATLES!
 
Shirley Temple was my favorite.  I would watch "The Good Ship Lolipop" and dance along with her.  Then there was that "Masked Man on the White horse"....and then the Ape Man that swung from the vines...

Oak Island

                                                   "Put your footprints in the sand"
Located on the Atlantic Ocean, enjoy the ocean breezes that sweep across Oak Island while golfing at one of two gold courses on the Island.  With beautiful live oaks and yaupon trees, the Island has so much to offer, you must see it for yourself.  This town is best described as a family-oriented community with 10 miles of beautiful beaches on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other.

ginger harper realtor brunswick county: Needing help with BPO's and REO's - 12/31/14 10:11 AM
I would like for someone to share with me, how to hook up with the lenders that will work with me on
foreclosures and short sales.
Seems like some agents get all of that business and I want to learn how to break into that market.
I will be taking the short sale course soon and want to be successful in the depressed market along
the North Carolina coast...
 
Thanks for any help.

ginger harper realtor brunswick county: Can Anyone Explain Short URL Click and are they Important? - 12/28/14 07:05 AM
 
I see this on the Stats page on Active Rain and do not yet understand them.
I would like to know what they are for.
 
Short URL Clicks.  The are on the page where we see the traffic that has come to our Blog Page.  All I ever see there is a dash
(-).  It that important?  When I write a Blog, although I am not very good, I like to look then next time that I am on the Active Rain website and see if anyone has found what I wrote to be interesting or informative or laughable..

ginger harper realtor brunswick county: Enjoy your Grandchildren - 12/10/14 11:12 AM
 

 
Do you take time to smell the roses?  I have had the wonderful experience of spending time with my nine month old granddaughter, Marissa. We had such a great time pouring tea and eating snacks.  Then we had to dress the babies dolls and feel them.  WE loose precious time when we do not look around and see the beauty right under our noses.  Time that can never be made up.
Smell the roses this weekend...

ginger harper realtor brunswick county: Southport~My Home - 12/08/14 10:04 AM

 
 
Southport - Originally incorporated in 1792 as Smithville, its progressive citizens changed its name to Southport in 1887 in hopes of attracting a port. The port went further upstream to the City of Wilmington but this entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in the City today. The historic charm of this community will captivate you as you walk under a canopy of 200 year old live oak trees, or walk past majestic
Victorian century homes which once belonged to river pilots or maybe even a pirate or two. Southport is one of few Cities with a true downtown. … (3 comments)
