southport agent: Three Reasons Why This Is Not a Housing Crisis
- 03/18/20 06:46 AM
It is slow here but we are getting some calls...There is action...
In times of uncertainty, one of the best things we can do to ease our fears is to educate ourselves with research, facts, and data. Digging into past experiences by reviewing historical trends and understanding the peaks and valleys of what’s come before us is one of the many ways we can confidently evaluate any situation. With concerns of a global recession on everyone’s minds today, it’s important to take an objective look at what has transpired over the years and how the housing market has successfully weathered these … (2 comments)

southport agent: Sunny Saturday in Southport
- 02/19/11 08:23 AM
Today is such a glorious day. Got to sleep in before I had to go and work with a seller. This was a easy thing to do. They want to sell their condo and sell it quick so we did a $100K reduction. Don't think I have ever reduced a property $100.000 before. We hope to have a buyer this week.
So Sunny Saturday has be good for me.
Hope you had a great day too.

southport agent: Client Appreciation Program
- 02/17/11 02:05 AM

southport agent: Are you a MYSpace person?
- 02/15/11 02:15 PM
I just had a scary thing to happen to me with Myspace. I sent up my profile a month or so ago and needed to update some information. Someone had gotten into my space and had placed some suggestive pictures and changed my profile all around. I would have just died of embarrassment if one of my owners saw that mess.
Can anyone share with me what could have happened?

southport agent: Doing BPO's
- 02/15/11 01:35 PM
Today, I had five BPO's to do on my schedule. Two in Shallotte, one in Holden Beach, on in Boiling Spring Lakes and one in Winnabow. I tried to do the two in Shallotte yesterday, but got to the community to find that it was gated and I had none of the codes to gain my entrance. With a listing appointment 30 miles away, I had to come back to office and try to complete today.
Need more facts when going out to do this work.

southport agent: Westminster Dog Show
- 02/15/11 01:30 PM
Have you been watching the Westminster Dog Show? I have been absolutely mystified by the many different breeds of dogs that are around the world. There are terriers, collies, beagles, greyhounds, Labradors, poodles, boxers, etc.
They have a toy breed, working breed and many more kinds.
I was raised with a Mutt named Zip. Zip was a mix of border collie and collie. She was the best dog ever.

southport agent: Buffini Day 7
- 02/15/11 01:22 PM
WE went to the Buffini Introduction in Raleigh about 2 weeks ago. Many of us were very impressed with the presentation and there for 8 of us that believe what we heard and we are going to continue on with the course for the next 100 days. I think it will jump start my real estate career of 29 years. I am truly looking forward to this.
If you need a fresh start....check out Buffini and company...

southport agent: Summer is ON the WAY!
- 06/15/09 01:41 PM
In just a few days, Summer will be here. In driving to Durham on Saturday, the temps were in t he 97 degree range. I think that is too hot for us yet. There must be something to this global warming thing.
Are you experiencing hotter temperatures than you normally see this time of the year. I know that the garden is doing well. But we are storing rainwater to water it with. Well water is just not the same.
We are eating cucumbers and squash from the garden now.
Nothing could be better.
Have a great day,

southport agent: TGIF Day Again
- 05/29/09 02:13 PM
Today was a most unusual day. I have been working on getting an oceanfront house under contract for the past few days....and a buyer called me yesterday to show him some condos on Caswell Beach. I showed the couple 3 units. Today they called me back and wanted to see if I could draw up the contract. Guess what I said............YES OF COURSE I CAN MEET YOU AT THE UNIT TO GET THE CONTRACT SIGNED...and I did. We are negotiating that contract as I wait...
Hope your Day is successful also.

southport agent: Back to work...
- 05/26/09 07:45 AM
I sometimes find it hard to get back into the swing of things when I have had a weekend with famiy and friends. Do you have a hard time too?
The grandchildren were here from Greensboro and we did the cookout thing, swimming in the creek, the Ocean and the Pool.
I treasure these memories that we are building today.
Hope all is well with you.

- 05/08/09 03:02 AM
Wow, the days seem to be flying by right now. Is that what happens as we grow older? Soon our children will be out of school and ready to enjoy the summer with family and friends.
Being in the Southport~Oak Island area of North Carolina, we have a lot of visitors to come and enjoy all that our area has to offer; the Beaches, boating, fishing, shelling, golfing, shopping in the neat stores in Southport, etc.
If you need a break from your hustle and bustle, come on down and enjoy this life style for a bit.
With warm regards,

southport agent: Much Needed Rain!
- 05/07/09 03:03 AM
Finally! The rain has come to us here on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean and the Cape Fear River. It has been past time to plant the garden but we we did so this past weekend. Now we have tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, egg plant that are beginning to grow. The garden is one of the ways that we work off stress. There is much joy in turning the cucumber into sweet pickles that are enjoyed by all in potato salad, chicken salad and the like. The tomatoes, we can and do all of our spaghetti sauces and barbecue sauces...

southport agent: I need financing for a Manufactured home on 12 Acres of land
- 05/05/09 05:33 AM
Hi All,
Need your help desperately. I have a strong buyer who wants to buy a Manufactured home on 12 Acres of land and I am having a hard time getting a lender to loan him the money. Do you have any experience in a situation like this. He is a young, first time buyer who is a very hard worker and can certainly make the payment.
BBandT are a possibility but I have also heard of a USAA. I do not have any knowledge of it.
So help if you can,

southport agent: Easter~A sacred time of the year!
- 04/08/09 03:39 AM
Easter is the most blessed time of the year. It is a time for remembrances of the past. I think back over the Easters that I have experienced for the past 60 years. It always began with a trip to the front yard to find the most beautiful azalea to pin on my new Easter dress that my mother made for me the week before. (usually hemming it on Saturday Eve) Then off to Church to sit with my family and enjoy the story of the Resurrection and to sing those favorite hymns of Up From the Grave He Arose and HE … (2 comments)

southport agent: Boost Class!
- 04/06/09 03:26 AM
We just finished our weekly Boost Class and I found it very informative today.
One of the things that we are doing it to find our that our market share is and where we rank. Also to be the local experts in knowing about our market in the different areas of our local selling area. WE are breaking it down as to numbers of active, sold and expired listing and what the price is per square feet ~for each, both houses, condos and lots.
I think that this is vital in talking with our buyers and seller.
The data is being … (3 comments)
