  • How’s Business?

    It’s been an incredible 2015.  I am so grateful for the repeat customers, referrals, and new business this year.

    BaySo, what’s selling?

    An ocean front, 2 beach block properties, 2 bay front properties, several newer homes in various locations, townhouse style condos, and a few modest homes on prime lots.

    Selling prices range from the low $400,000’s to well over $3 million.

    My time in real estate continues to pass quickly.  I sold a bay front home to a couple in 1985; and was able to help with the sale again in 2015. A mere 30 years!

    Many of my sales are with long time customers.  I value the years of trust and friendship.

  • Mid-day Storm

    A wild storm rolled through Avalon and Stone Harbor this afternoon.  High winds toppled deck furniture and trash cans, and heavy rain caused street flooding.

    There were reports of a few lightning strikes – including an Avalon Beach Patrol boat!

    Temperatures dropped (thankfully!), the rain water drained quickly, and the sun has returned.  Should be a nice evening…

  • Surfers

    After an unsettled weather day Wednesday, the sky cleared just in time for an evening walk.  Fun to watch the surfers off the 25th Street beach in Avalon.

    Otherwise, reasonable weather for the participants in this morning’s event.

  • Pumping Sand

    The sand is flowing on to the north end Avalon beaches.  It’s a fun process to watch (this is the view from 11th Street looking north toward the 8th Street jetty).

    The project will run 24/7, and continue moving south to 25th Street.  Beaches on either side of the work area will be closed for safety reasons.

  • Equipment- Avalon Beach Fill

    Monday- 11am.  An active staging area by the 8th Street jetty in preparation of the north end beach fill.  Currently, beach and jetty access is open on 8th Street, and a lifeguard is stationed on 9th Street.

    The only pipe in place is the one over the jetty.  Pipes will be installed and run parallel along the beach to carry sand once the dredge arrives from Strathmere.

    As the project proceeds south from 9th Street, the beaches on either side will be closed for safety reasons.  Once the new sand is graded, beaches will re-open.  Access paths over the pipe will be built (with sand).
