Beach Sand Replenishment Reaches Cape Story By The Sea - Shore Drive Beaches, Virginia Beach

Mark A. Moore, ABR - Virginia Beach Real Estate (RE/MAX Alliance - REMAX) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 09:54:44 -0600

The sand replenishment project has finally reached Cape Story By The Sea.

The planned beach replenishment project by the Army Corps of Engineers and City of Virginia Beach experienced a major setback due to the November 2009 Nor'easter storm. Tons of existing beach sand was taken during three days of pounding. This week there has been much activity on the beach as crews haul sand from the dredge spoil site at the south end of Maple Street, to the beach access at Oak Street.

The sand is then being hauled down the beach by several large dump trucks and the spread around with bulldozers and graders.

Place cursor on photo for description.

The city plans on rebuilding the Sandalwood access ramp this Spring. Hopefully we will be back to business as usual at this wonderful beach.

RE/MAX Property Manager Seeks New Management Accounts!

Mark A. Moore, ABR - Virginia Beach Real Estate (RE/MAX Alliance - REMAX) — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 11:03:18 -0500

I have been managing residential rental properties since 1997. Though I handle quite a few properties in northeast Virginia Beach, I am currently expanding the scope of my business.

It in no secret that the real estate market is changing. Many of the mega teams that became popular a couple years ago are disbanding or shrinking in size due to decreased sales volume. I have noticed this in the local RE/MAX franchises as well.

If you are a sales agent that also manages rental property, are you considering any of the following options?:

1. Moving to a company that will not let you, as a sales agent, also handle rentals.

2. Retiring (or semi-retiring) and looking to decrease your rental headaches.

3. Finding property management is not your "cup of tea"?

If so, your rental management accounts have real value. I would be happy to take rental management accounts off your hands and provide your clients with excellent service. I would also like to offer a compensation package to you on a per account basis, upon successful transfer of your accounts.

Do you have any sale listings that you "know" will not sell anytime soon, maybe that the owner has even asked you about the possibility of having to rent the property. I will pay you (with your client's approval) a "finder's fee" for the referral of that client, if they enter into a property management agreement with me.

Are you a real estate broker with a small company looking to "sell the business"?

I am committed to establishing mutually beneficial, long term real estate relationships. I am a member of NARPM, and active in the property management professional community. Here is a link to a page featuring most of my rental properties: Mark's Rental Homes

Thanks for you time, -Mark

Shore Drive Area Takes A Beating - November '09 Nor'easter

Mark A. Moore, ABR - Virginia Beach Real Estate (RE/MAX Alliance - REMAX) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:14:34 -0600

This has to be the worst storm I have seen flooding wise, since I moved to Virginia Beach in the late 1970's. A strong Northeaster, remnants of TS Ida, pounded Virginia Beach from November 11th through November 13th, 2009. Massive tidal flooding occurred in the Lynnhaven River Basin along with endless heavy rain, winds up to 70 mph, and unprecedented Chesapeake Bay wave action. This combination led to the worst storm in years.

Bubba's Crab House was substantially flooded. Surf's up at Chick's Oyster Bar

Yet another fun filled Sailboat race on the action packed Elizabeth River, south of Hampton Roads harbor. I crewed on a Columbia 40 out of Willoughby, and we brought home a 3^rd place in our class (Cruising 2). Not quite the finish of last year's race (we pulled in a 1^st place trophy) but we'll take it. There was much fun had by all except for one fellow at the post race party.

Rental Property in Cape Story By The Sea (Virginia Beach Real Estate)

Mark A. Moore, ABR - Virginia Beach Real Estate (RE/MAX Alliance - REMAX) — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 16:19:03 -0500

Do you own rental property in Cape Story By The Sea?

I do, and I also live there.

I believe that property in the neighborhood is an excellent long term investment, maybe having the best future appreciation potential in all of Virginia Beach. Its proximity to the Chesapeake Bay, First Landing State Park, and the Lynnhaven River watershed, make the neighborhood very desirable.

I am REALTOR with RE/MAX Alliance. I sell homes but also manage residential rentals. If you own a home in the neighborhood that you rent out or are considering renting your home, or if you are looking to buy in Cape Story, please give me a call. I would be more than happy to help.
