Why Do You Love Real Estate?

I had the privilege of growing up with a Father that loved real estate and shared that passion with me. At a young age I would walk plots of land and explore old beach cottages and bungalows with him. He would ask me what I thought and allow me to be involved in the purchase process as I grew older. He taught me the value of investing in real estate and nurtured the thrill of the hunt in me. As a result of these experiences, I have had the opportunity to work hand in hand with my husband Kyle, as the Creative Director/ co owner of Christian Hart Custom Homes, Inc., Blink Home Solutions, a Real estate investment company that buys, rehabs houses and also acquires investment property, and Seashore Properties, owner/ manager of 2 short term rentals, located in Wilmington and marketed on Air BnB. Real estate is in my blood!

Most Unique Thing You've Seen In Real Estate:

Figure 8 island, a NC barrier island is located just off of Wrightsville Beach between the Intracoastal waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. This beautiful island is home to some of the most unique architecture in this area. My favorite home is one that is built to replicate a lighthouse. This incredible home is reminiscent of something straight out of a Nicholas Sparks movie. This island is also a coveted vacation spot to many in the entertainment industry. So if you ever get a chance to visit this secluded hideaway, you may just be sharing the beach with one or two of Hollywood's who's who.
