You are a house-hunter and have been working with “XYZ” real estate office in Ocean City. You are happy with them and have an excellent relationship. While driving home from work you notice a FOR SALE sign on a house that interests you, but with another agent’s name on it. Can you ask your friends at “XYZ” about it? Absolutely!

Understanding how the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) operates is an important part of the home buyer’s education. First time buyers especially, are not aware that one REALTOR® can provide them with information about homes listed by another REALTOR® using the MLS. Or, for that matter, nearly any other home listed on the market.

If you are working with a firm you like, and you see a house with another company’s sign in front, don’t feel that you might be bothering your broker if you ask for information regarding the other house. Any REALTOR® in the MLS can sell the house and it’s easier working with one than two or more brokers.

Call us today if you have any questions, we’re here to help!

Baltimore Raven's Stadium

Ok who loves the Baltimore Ravens?  A show of hands please.  Most that I run across in my area are serious fans (except for my husband who has shed more blood as a result of the Washington Redskins then anyone I know).  But even he was thrilled to go down on the field at Ravens (M &T) Stadium this week.  Very cool experience.  But let me go back to what we were doing there.

We attended a Coldwell Banker Sales Blitz for the top agents for 2010 in the Mid-Atlantic region of Coldwell Banker.  It was held at the Club level of Ravens Stadium. We had informative mini break out sessions on everything from short sales and REO properties, making a great video, to software demonstrations, social media discussions and vendor displays.

This was followed by a trip down through the inner workings of the Raven’s stadium on a massive freight elevator.  I felt like I should run out through the opening to the field like the professional players. (Ugh, note to self, you can’t run you’re in heels and that just won’t work).

The child in all of us came out.  Well in most of us anyway.  We were given mini footballs when we arrived at the sales blitz, and who can resist throwing a football on a professional football field. Also we’re sales agent, can you say photo opp???

I digress.

Soooo  we took some pictures, we all played like kids and had a fun time on a beautiful spring day in Baltimore with our fellow Coldwell Banker agents. All felt right with the world.  It didn’t hurt that I won a little money from a cash drawing that was held….Score!

Probably didn’t take enough pictures, but wanted to share what pictures I did take. FYI – for the record I do like the Ravens.

Ferris Wheel On The Boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland

Ocean City, Maryland has over 10 miles of clean sandy beaches. It’s located just 2-3 hours from Washington, Baltimore, Northern Virginia and many Pennsylvania areas. It all started when, according to legend, Isaac Coffin built in 1869 the first beach-front cottage to receive paying guests. People came by stage coach and ferry. They came to fish off the shore, to enjoy the natural beauty of the Atlantic Ocean pounding against the long strip of sandy beach, to collect seashells, or just to sit back and watch the rolling surf.

Whether he knew it or not, Isaac Coffin’s Inn began a new era. Soon other boarding houses were built on the strip of sand. The activity attracted some prominent businessmen from the Eastern Shore, Baltimore and Philadelphia. They came not so much to visit as to survey this attractive barrier island. A decision was made to develop it and 250 lots were cut into it. The corporation stock of 4,000 shares sold for $25 each. It was a good investment.

The Atlantic Hotel opened July 4, 1875. Located on the ocean it offered dancing and billiard rooms to the visitors of its more than 400 rooms.

Prior to 1870, what is now Ocean City, Maryland, was known as “The Ladies Resort to the Ocean”.

The Ocean City Inlet was formed during a powerful storm in 1933. Engineers took advantage of nature’s intervention and made the inlet at the south end of Ocean City permanent. The inlet eventually helped to establish Ocean City as one of the world’s great fishing ports as it offered easy access to the fishing grounds of the Atlantic Ocean. Today it is home to the “White Marlin Open” the world’s largest billfish tournament.

Ocean City is one of the east coast’s most popular resorts. It is a year round resort with a now world famous beach and three mile boardwalk. Swimming, boating and many golf courses have made it a high quality resort destination.
