Coastal Realty Connections Supports Community College

Posted by

Coastal Realty Connections is proud to sponsor Brunswick Community College Foundation’s upcoming breakfast with Joe Dittmar, World Trade Center attack survivor. USA Today  featured Joe in an article about survivors of the 911 attack on the World Trade Center and Joe is the one of few survivors from the  105th floor. An insurance executive from Chicago, he had arrived early to a meeting that day and of the 54 attendees Joe is one of only of seven who survived. He now travels nationwide telling his story and inspiring audiences.

The Foundation is inviting the public to attend its annual Community Breakfast on Thursday, April 10th, 2014 at 8:00am when Joe Dittmar will give his first-hand account of his experiences as he and his colleagues escaped from the upper floors of South Tower of the World Trade Center after it was hit by a terrorist-hijacked plane on September 11th, 2001. His presentation, entitled “The Victory of the Human Spirit,” will highlight the events, memories, and lessons learned on the day of the attacks and in the years since.

The Foundation was organized in 1982 to provide a means of soliciting and accepting substantial gifts of money or property in order to build an endowment fund to promote and support educational advancement within Brunswick County and the mission of Brunswick Community College. Trisha is a past president  and serves on the Foundation’s Board of Directors supporting those efforts to help raise community awareness and to secure much needed scholarship funding for students.

Since its establishment, the Foundation has enabled the college to meet a number of diverse needs that would be impossible to meet within state provided funding. Its primary focus has been to provide scholarship support for students and, in addition, the Foundation has assisted faculty members by granting funds for professional development and has sponsored various lecture programs and cultural events.

Tickets for this event are $20 per person and can be purchased either online or by calling 910-755-7473.

 

Welcome to Coastal Realty Connections

I am delighted to announce the launch of our new website and to post the first of many updates on our area, local real estate market and other interesting topics.

The economy has been tough over the past few years and many of us have debated whether the real estate market has hit bottom. Indicators are that it has, sales are improving and, according to the NC Association of Realtors, year on year sales have remained higher for the last 29 months.  Enquiry levels are up, mortgage rates are at historic lows and buyer’s are steadily returning to the market.  There has not been a better time over the last five years to purchase property than now.

While it is not always easy to determine the best time to list or buy, having the guidance and support of the right real estate agent is a key factor to your success. At Coastal Realty Connections we are committed to helping buyers and sellers find the right property at the right price. We work hard to satisfy a buyer’s desire to take advantage of the best values in the market place and a seller’s need to achieve their price points.

The coastal region of North Carolina is well positioned to take advantage of a recovering market. Wilmington, the Port City, has something to offer everyone who enjoys the conveniences of a big city along with all the advantages of quick access to sandy shores. Brunswick County, the 87th fastest growing county in the nation, continues to offer amenity-rich communities, traditional neighborhood locations and wonderful beaches at great values. New Bern, the second oldest city in North Carolina, is one of the coast’s undiscovered gems. With average sales prices below state averages, the New Bern area provides an affordable place to live, enjoy and explore the coast.

Please consider Coastal Realty Connections as your agent and we will do our very best to help you with your goals.
