March Madness on the coast of Carolina!


Gray and rainy but still the beach! Just finished signing up to read the blog of one of our colleagues, Lenora Norris. Lenora manages the Coldwell Banker Sea Coast agents at our Mayfaire office in Wilmington. She likens it to herding cats, although I would think that it is also akin to trying to nail jello to a tree.

We are extremely encouraged by all the positive market signs. The phones are ringing on the island, showing appointments are being made and our Jacksonville office of The Burchfield Group has seven pending contracts!

Over the past month, we have been hosting a Realtor open house each week, our own version of March Madness! It has been a great way to meet our peers on the Jacksonville Board of Realtors. We had almost 50 the first week at our new home community in Sage's Ridge, and 60 for the second event in the community of Cherry Grove. Our third and final event will be this Thursday, March 19th at The Highlands in Queens Creek and we are expecting 100 Realtors to tour our beautiful gated community! The Highlands is the most unique of our neighborhoods in Jacksonville (Hubert), as it will have a clubhouse, swimming pool, basketball courts, soccer fields and walking trails with exercise areas.

We are looking forward to a wonderful Spring season on the island, Jacksonville and Hampstead!
