Calling all Snowbirds ! 
                                                                           
****According to the Wickipedia- The term Snowbird is used to describe and people from the Northern or Midwestern U.S.who spend a large portion of winter in warmer locales such as North Carolina, Florida, or elsewhere along the Sunbelt  region of the southern United States, areas of the Caribbean.
Snowbirds are typically retirees who can afford to be away from home for long periods of time or have a second home in a warmer location.(like beautiful Carteret County-The Southern Outer banks of N.C )

Alright, you know who you are!
Actually, my father was born in Massachusetts but the brutal winters convinced my grandmother to pack up and move to sunny Florida. Along the way my father met my mother and the rest is history! I was born and raised in Palm Beach County with sandals on year round (when shoes were required) ! The coastal breeze and the ability to participate in year round outdoor activities really appealed to me.

Fast forward, age 22 I marry my husband and move to Pennsylvania for his Graduate Schooling at Bucknell University. Both of our children were born there. It didn't take long for me to realize I was not cut out for the long, dark and cruel winters and longed for a warmer climate ! God blessed us with a job opportunity  in Eastern North Carolina and there could not have been a better offer! The North Carolina climate provides four beautiful seasons with a true fall and winter without the harsh elements! The temperatures were perfect and the beauty of the
Crystal Coast made me feel "at home". Within  a few years we bought a beach cottage at Emerald Isle for weekends but eventually made Morehead City our permanent residence.

Watch out! Many "snowbirds" fall into this trap! They may rent for several summers for that "yearly vacation at the beach " but end up buying a second home because of the desire to retire here, to spend their winters here or to make the actual move permanent  (like me!)....No matter what the reason, I think it is worth real consideration! The market is hot and the investment has been proven to be even hotter!
click here for the MLS (Multiple listing site for Carteret County-I can show you ANY property listed here !

I would love to teach you about the area, what type of lifestyle it can offer you and hopefully convince you that a move to the Crystal Coast is the move you have been thinking about for a long time! 

I can assure you the tax rate is very attractive and the value you receive in a home is incomprable. Let me know if you would like a relocation package mailed to you with attention to your specific needs.

Call me to plan your trip and tell me more about yourself and what you envision for yourself here at the Crystal Coast.
