HAVE INTEREST RATE WORRIES held up your purchase decision? Many lenders are offering a useful solution: make your shore purchase now, and then complete a low-cost refinance with the same lender in the future if rates should drop. You can enjoy your shore property now, while benefitting if rates fall in the future. Contact me and I’ll put you in touch with a reliable mortgage lender!
OFF SEASON PROJECTS: Now’s the time to plan ahead for next season. Yes, it’s still September—and still beautiful—but if you’re contemplating off season improvements to your vacation home or rental property, now is the time to begin planning. Call your architect, builder, or contractor, or visit with a design or home improvement professional. From HVAC upgrades to bathroom remodels to whole house renovations, projects take time, so begin early!
OFF SEASON PROPERTY CHECKS can provide you peace of mind when you’re not here to put eyes on your shore house. If you need me to stop by to check on something just call, text, or email me. If you want regular, scheduled checks of your shore home during the off season, consider Beach Property Watch. They’ll make regular interior and exterior checks of your home, including post-storm inspections, and send you a report and photos each time.

RENTAL PROPERTY OWNERS: Send me your rates for 2025, if you haven’t already done so! We are busy booking reservations for the Summer of 2025!
