Not much damage in the Glenwood area of Virginia Beach after the Nor'easter. There were some fences down, Independence Blvd had a high water area but nothing like happened in the last tropical storm we had. Most of the damage was due to the 75 mph wind that blew for a while. Luckily we don't live in one of the areas affected by the tides.

Robings still have to eat in the Noreaster in the Glenwood area. I was getting ready to take out a big weed in my yard that supplies berries for the birds because it had fallen over due to the cold weather. The storm came so the plant stayed. Lucky for this little fellow because he came and gorged himself on berries.

I said bird "feeder" not "bird" feeder. I need to be careful in how Iemphasize My words. When I put out my bird feeder in the back yard the idea was to feed the birds bird seed. Apparently this young Osprey (I think) has decided that I meant "bird" feeder and the bird feeder was meant to feed him. He has taken several small birds from my backyard. This is the first time I have seen one up close and personal. He is maybe 15 feet from my window. He lives high atop a power pole about 1.2 mile from my house in Glenwood on the Honeybee Golf Course. He seriously needs to join his buddies in going south for the winter (see the last picture).

Hampton Roads Real Estate, Virginia Beach Real Estate, Chesapeake Real Estate, & Norfolk Real Estate is what I sell. My personal goal is to provide Number One service to all of my clients
Hampton Roads Real Estate
I am a Realtor® selling Hampton Roads real estate and have been since 1992. In 1994 I retired from the military and set off to sell homes in the area as my children were still in high school. Didn't want to move them at that time in their lives. So here I am still selling homes in the Hampton Roads area. If you all have any referrals for the Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth and Suffolk area, send them my way. We are an Equal Housing Opportunity brokerage.
I sell residential properties in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Norfolk and Portsmouth. This includes resell and new homes in all price ranges. I have not learned to do niche marketing yet as I like the various types of homes out there. My normal price range is in the 180k to 600k range although I have sold properties in the higher price ranges. My office specializes in beach properties and we routinely list and sell homes in the million dollar range. The price is nice but you don't do many of those a year.
I feel very fortunate to have happened upon Gene Allen while surfing the net looking for a home in the Hampton Roads area. My family and I were relocating from Western, NY to Hampton Roads and knew virtually nothing about the area. From the time Gene and I first met to the time we closed on our house covered a span of time of about 15 months. For the entire time I always felt that Gene had our best interest at heart. He was very accommodating and helpful while we were house hunting and very patient as we explored different towns in the Hampton Roads area.... To any potential clients of Gene's, I strongly endorse him as a thorough, competent and compassionent agent. I would definitely employ Gene as my agent again. Should you choose to engage his services, you will be glad you did. "Shortened version of email from A. Locke"
Gene made our first home buying experience wonderful. He made us feel comfortable from the start. He was dedicated to finding us a home of our dreams. Gene went above and beyond in showing us all the houses we wanted to see. He encouraged us when we thought we would never be homebuyers. We would recommend Gene to our family and friends. When it comes time to sell and upgrade we will definately use Gene for his knowledge and experience. "From a buyer satisfaction survey from A. Ceja"
