Take a drive and find a little fun in NC!
Something about this time of year always makes me want to take a drive and do a little adventuring. Maybe it's the cooler weather, maybe it's the free time after a wonderfully busy Summer or maybe it's just that my natural wanderlust kicks in this time of year. Whatever the reason, just about every weekend I'm off in search of something new to experience. It may be a festival, a dive diner that serves the BEST pancakes, a "Junque" store with treasures that take me back to my childhood, or a chance to stretch my legs and take in some beautiful NC scenery. There isn't much I'm not up for!
About 40 miles west of Wilmington NC, in a little town called Hallsboro NC you can find some Fall fun for the entire family. You'll need to get off 74W/76W and take a couple of backroads to get there, but it's worth the effort.
MAZE CRAZE presents 11 acres of mazes, hayride, train ride for the kids, games, kiddie maze and even a snack bar hosted by the delightful Galloway family. We had the good fortune to meet Alma Galloway and her son, who just happen to be 2 of the nicest people it's been my pleasure to meet in a long while.
You read that right, 11 ACRES OF MAZE! 11 ACRES!! Take a look at this picture of the map! It's incredible!
Don't worry, if you get lost you can call for help!
The kids get a chance to learn how to pump water at the rubber duck races.
A kiddie train ride and family friendly hayride.
Lots to see and do and when you're done stop by the snack bar! If you're coming after dark be sure to wear bug spray and bring a flashlight! Should you forget, they've got both at the Concession Stand.
They're open 7 days a week;

The Big Sweep is coming to New Hanover County!
An annual event sponsored by Keep America Beautiful of New Hanover County, the Big Sweep is our chance to help clean up our community and preserve our waterways for fish, fowl and future generations.
Here in New Hanover County, where we're surrounded by water, litter almost always ends up in our waterways. When that litter contaminates our waterways -- it diminishes their viability as homes for fish, fowl or woodland creature, mars our beautiful scenery and brings an end to a way of life for everyone.
On Saturday September 24, 2011 you can do your part to keep our community clean, healthy and beautiful! The Big Sweep takes place in 4 locations and begins at 9a. How about getting a group of friends or co-workers together? Imagine how good you'll feel knowing you made a difference!!
Be sure to dress appropriately -- close toed shoes, sunscreen and clothes you don't mind getting dirty! Help cut down on waste by bringing your own reusable water bottle and gloves. Refreshments and trash bags will be provided.
So, where to meet? You've got 4 great locations to choose from!
Wrightsville Beach at the Gazebo at Johnnie Mercer’s Pier 
Carolina Beach at the Boardwalk
Kure Beach at the Pier
Greenfield Lake at the Boathouse
Can't go wrong with any one of these locations. Not only will you be making a positive difference, you'll have beautiful scenery while you do it! Hope to see you on September 24, 2011 for the Big Sweep!

Dear Tish, I'm sorry but we need to withdraw our listing . . .
Dear Tish,
I'm sorry but we need to withdraw our listing. That program you told us about that might help us keep our home will work for us and we no longer need to sell. I know how hard you've worked and how much time and money you've put into marketing our home and working with the bank, and I'm sorry. I promise to refer my friends and family to you. If we're ever in the market to buy or sell you're the only REALTOR® we'll call!
Thanks for everything!
Talk about an answer to prayer!
What? You thought I'd be upset about the loss of my time, energy, money and 
expertise? Yeah, not so much in this case. See, I'm in the business of helping people realize the American Dream of Home Ownership. Having to help someone short sale a home they love and want to stay in goes against everything I believe. If you want to stay in your home, I WANT you to be able to do just that.
It doesn't always work out though and that's when I work my hardest to help you get out from under the black cloud and move on with your life with as little grief as possible. It's still gonna sting, but I'm going to do my best to make things as painless as possible.
Not all REALTORS® are the same. Some really are in it just for the money. But most of us are not. We're in it because we believe in the American Dream of Home Ownership and we want to help as many people as we can realize it for themselves and their loved ones. Even if that means losing a sale.
If you're under water in your Wilmington NC area home, give me a call. Let's work together to find a solution that's right for YOU! If we can find a program to keep you in your home then that's what we'll do. If you have to sell, then I'll do my best to help you get back on your feet and on the road to happier days. That's a promise you can take to the bank.

Over 27 years specializing in the Resort/Luxury home market. Everything's better at the beach . . .
After 14 years as a legal secretary and owner of a Court Reporting firm it was time for a change so in 1985 I began my professional real estate career. I quickly found that I had a knack for the development side of real estate and was instrumental in the land acquisition, development, build out, marketing and sales of 2 premier oceanfront communities in Bethany Beach, DE. My dedication, professionalism, experience and enthusiasm have resulted in personal sales of over $320 million.
I have 2 children and am the very proud grandmother of 3. A Fauquier County, VA native I return frequently to visit family and friends. And as much as I love visiting VA, I do admit to hurrying back to my favorite place on earth -- Wrightsville Beach NC!
I have come to love and feel at home in Wrightsville Beach NC. Selling homes at the beach is a joy and a privilege, one I do not take for granted. I would love to show you why "Everything's better at the beach . . ."
Selling and buying real estate is not just a financial transaction, it is first and 
foremost an emotional one. The reasons for buying or selling a particular home are as varied as the people involved. Why you feel a "pull" to one home and not to another is complex and personal. It is my job, as your Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach Real Estate Agent, to help you make decisions with all of the facts, so that you can focus on the important aspects -- selling your home as quickly as possible at a price you feel is fair and with agreeable terms or finding a place that makes you feel like you've come home. It is my obligation to you to handle the details and make the home buying/selling process as seamless as possible. Because, let's face it, you've got enough on your plate!
As your Wrightsville Beach real estate agent, I'll bring my 26+ years of experience, successfully buying and selling Resort/Luxury homes. I know the 
neighborhoods, schools, market conditions, zoning regulations and what it takes to complete the transaction. My assistant has been with me for 15 years; together we have the knowledge and experience you need in today's challenging market. And yes, it is a challenging market.
It takes a full-time commitment - anything less and you'd be short changed. As a full-time Wrightsville Beach real estate agent, I'm able to stay on top of the market changes for you, keeping up-to-date with new listings and conditions as they impact the market. I am passionate about real estate and it shows - with over $320 million in sales I have helped hundreds of people, just like you, achieve their real estate goals.
Willmington NC and Wrightsville Beach NC have so much to offer; a great school system, museums, theaters, fine dining, great shopping, friendly residents, our beautiful historic district, and of course, our beaches! We look forward to helping you achieve your real estate goals here in the Wilmington NC and Wrightsville Beach NC area! Tish Lloyd, REALTOR
