A REALTORS Prayer

Tom Schoenbeck: Real Estate Agent in Dover, DE

May I always use my hands as Your gifts to serve my clients in need. May I use the mind that You bestowed on me to always keep my client's best interest at heart. May I use the talents You provided me to be creative in serving other's needs. May I use my eyesight, my windows to this created world, to see every client as an equal. May I use my tongue in the manner of speech as if I were speaking to You. May I use my ears to listen and not just hear my clients. And may I give thanks to You for giving me the opportunity to serve your children as they seek shelter and may I never forget, under all is land to which You have provided.

Shoes for Kids in Millsboro and Dover Delaware

Tom Schoenbeck: Real Estate Agent in Dover, DE

The seventh annual Share Your Soles for Christmas shoe drive for children began on Nov. 16th and runs through the holidays. Tom and Jean Sullivan, owners of the Good Feet Store in Millsboro Delaware, says they are looking for those gently used shoes of all types for kids. Donations may be placed in boxes in front of the Good Feet Store in the Food Lion Shopping Center in Millsboro or at the Good Feet Store in Dover, 706-B N. DuPont Highway. New shoe donations should be left in their boxes, but not wrapped.

Jean said many of us take shoes for granted, but some children in our communities have no shoes, or have one pair that are worn out. The Sullivans report no donation is too small, all are welcome. If you need more information, call (302)934-7500, or (888)606-FEET. What a perfect way to give to the community!

The State of Delaware is being asked to invest $350,000 from a start up company that will have operations in Wilmington. Delawind is the company and Former LT Governot John Carney is the executive vice President. The company would build the steel towers for ofshore wind turbines. They are seeking the funds through Delaware's emerging technologies and pre-venture fund. They are promising 560 new jobs.

From my perspective this a a fantastic idea for Delaware. The wind farm that is in the process of being developed combined with the jobs and manufacturing of some of the components right here in Delaware. It is turning into an all Delaware project for in house renewable energy.

I recently submitted some pictures of our storm. There are more pictures at the Coastal Press of the storm damage.

Centreville, DE

Dave Iliff Real Estate Agent: Real Estate Agent in Hockessin, DE

Centreville, DE is a lovely little town straddling Rt. 52 just south of Chadds Ford, PA. Centreville was established in 1750 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The village is surrounded by beautiful rolling hills rich with U.S. History. It was mostly Quakers who originally started settling into the area as far back as the 1680s when it was still occupied by the Lenape Indians. The land was then owned by William Penn who landed in Historic New Castle, DE and it was gradually sold off to the settlers. The land became a desirable area to live and work in and also commute from as it still is today. The village is still very similar to the early settlement.

 Centerville DE Sign  Buckleys Tavern

Centreville, DE is home to the famous Winterthur Museum, the Museum of Natural History, Brandywine Creek State Park and the Hagley Museum where the duPont story began. This was where the duPont family made gunpowder throughout at least three wars. The duPont family prospered greatly from that and other business ventures and land acquisitions.

Wyeth and Andrew Wyeth. The River Museum is also home to the Brandywine Conservancy. The town of Centreville, DE has many quaint shops and gallerys within a walkable distance and is well known for the very popular Buckley's Tavern. Many residents make an easy commute to the city of Wilmington, DE or Kennett Square or West Chester PA and some a little further to Philadelphia. The Brandywine Valley area is rich in attractions and amenities.
