Building Your New Home... With Time Limitations 

For many, buying a new home is preferred over buying an existing home that was once occupied by previous owners. With time playing a significant role in the process, many homebuyers feel that they have to pass up the opportunity to own a new home, one that is customized to their liking and located on the most ideal piece of property.Most homes can be built in 90 - 180 days, this will vary depending on the builder as well as the size of the home.

Last week, I had the wonderful opportunity to film a new TV/web series that will showcase the lifestyle of our lovely Wilmington area. I wanted to give you a sneak peak into the series and share with you our experience of being in the spotlight.

The tv series is a cooking show that features all things, well, local! Local restaurants, local shopping local people, and local real estate. The producers approached me (Angela Batchelor) in early November to scout out a location for their 1st show of the series. After discussing the producer's vision for the show, I knew I could find them the perfect spot.... Citrus Cove.

Citrus Cove is a intimate community built by local and trusted builder, SeCOF Construction. It's nestled in the heart of Monkey Junction and…
