 I have been learning from a  dear friend and agent, by the name of Thomas, for teaching me a few tricks to ActiveRain.com.  I know that we have so much to learn from each other and to share.   Just little simple trick of our business that can help to make the phone ring.  I learned about linking in the body of my blogging that will take you straight to my website.  This may be a simple thing for the more experiences bloggers but I have not taken a course on Blogging yet.  That is one of my goals for 2015.  To get more involved and learn as much as I can. My hat is off to many of the "specialist"...The more you Blog the more you learn. What a treat.Thanks Thomas,Ginger of Southport

 Active rain PointsIt is so much fun to see our points grow...from the beginning to what we have now.You can learn so much from your active rain associates. Many have really neat information that can give you a link or idea that you can then explore.  I feel that I am not alone and that there are other Active rain folks just like me, needing new ideas or remembering the old tried and true systems that have worked for along time.  Every day I learn something new from our AR Friends..WE can learn from each other.Share..and I will too.Ginger of Southport

  Charles Dickens Christmas Festival is taking place here November 30 - December 1.  It is a time in our town when we dress up like the characters in the Dickens books.  So much fun to see the town with folks in period costumes dress up and doing their thing.  Today, I was a Hostess in the Fellowship Hall for the Wreath Displays, Tree Displays and the Ginger Bread House displays.  Those that visited with us were asked to vote for their favorite Tree, wreath and Ginger Bread house displays.  Cash prices were awarded.. Tomorrow I will be the hostess at the Amuzu Theatre and will be showing folks around and telling them more about Dickens and the books that he wrote. I have seen Tiny Tim in Town today and Scrooge...

If you Price your listings by today's standards, after doing a CMA,  it will sell. WE have been dealing with this for a couple of years now...(thinking of 2005). WE had folks buying up lots on Oak Island for $220,000 and now their worth is only about $40,000.  I am finding it difficult to tell a buyer that they can only get $40,000 for a lot that they paid $220,000 at the height of the Market. I think that it is almost better for them to give it back to the bank...but that is one of the reasons that we are in the position that we are in now.. Any advice?   How do you give your sellers the BAD News...

Duty time is an opportunity to make a new connection.  The phone is ringing off the hook right now.  Does this mean that our market is stabilizing or coming back... Well, I find myself having Duty time today.  (A better way to say Opportunity Time).  Actually I have been enjoying it.  It is the first exposure that your company makes when some one calls on the phone or walks through the door. We need to ponder that a minute.  What you say or do...the minute someone walks in or calls in is the first impression that those folks have of your company. We need to remember that. Hope you have a good Opportunity today,  Smile!   When you Smile "the world smiles with you"...When you frown..YOU frown alone...

Inlet View Bar and Grill is a wonderful local casual restaurant that serves local seafood right off the boat.  A small grill was started by older family members and maintained by another generation then it closed.  It has been opened again by family members but it bears little resemblance to the early business.  Today, it is greatly modernized and expanded to three levels and it is centrally located where the Shallotte River meets the intracoastal waterway...the views are fabulous.  The top floor has a bar and tables; it is a popular "happy hour" meeting place.  The main dining room is on the second floor, and it is accessible by elevator.  Customers can dine inside on cold,windy days or hot, humid ones or they can dine outside on the veranda and enjoy the views. The food is wonderful....
