This is NOT my favorite week. As a “self employed” person, I face the double whammy of taxes due on our 2011 return, as well as 1st quarter estimated payments. Ouch!
Yet, I always vow not to complain. If I am paying taxes…it’s because I am making a good living. And that in turn allows me to live by the beach.
So I will write my checks, and then walk down to the ocean and admire the view 🙂

This statement will make other sales people cringe: “Yes, I do take time off from work”.
And, I will even confess to an occasional vacation 🙂
Because I have always lived/worked in a tourist area, working on weekends is a must. Therefore, I take 2 days off during the week (Wednesday and Friday to be specific).Â
Yet, we are in a 24/7 world- with the technology to support that lifestyle. I am likely to be posting a beach or bay picture to Twitter…and then replying to a work e-mail immediately after.
I sincerely believe I can “sell” the island because I actively enjoy the benefits. Â

On almost every block in town, the spring construction rush is underway.
Contractor vehicles are lining the streets with the looming Memorial Day weekend deadline!
We are seeing more renovations than ever before (in some cases requiring the home to be lifted to meet flood elevation codes). An architect can magically transform a simple 1950s beach house; keeping the old house charm, while adding today’s amenities.
Noticing a variety of trends with new construction: more natural materials (cedar shake, stone, and brick), two-tone siding (both color and texture), some “southern” architectural influence (Nantucket style continues to be popular, too), covered decks, pools, and elevators.
Picture taken during my early morning walk- the white foam and jetty rocks provide some contrast to the gray skies and ocean. Our early spring warmth has encouraged plenty of natural color off of the beach.  Noticed yesterday that even our Azalea bush is starting to bloom!
Many property owners are in town this weekend, and the restaurants and businesses are opening their doors after a quick winter break.
Power Play Realty is open all weekend, and I am here to help with any questions you have regarding sales or rentals. 609-967-7950 or ann@anndelaney.com
