Happy Spring to all my friends

Hope this post finds you well!

As we awaken form cold winter days that were filled with stressful news events and more then ever uncertainty for all us we are approaching better days. Sun is shining bright down on us as the whole nature awakens. Together with crocuses, daffodils and more optimistic news we are awakening here at Prudential Clear Water Realty, grateful to still be here and determined more then ever to provide our clients with truly outstanding service. Whatever your real estate needs might be give me a call and let me know about some of the new services that are currently available.

Spring is the season of renewal and rebirth, our thoughts turn to old friends whom we have not seen in a while. Perhaps our relationship has been dormant, or perhaps you have not needed and help with real estate. Or perhaps there is something we need to do to make amends. Whatever the reason for our not having heard from you, we hope to hear from you soon.

More, however, I hope that this beautiful season brings you growth, warmth, and light.

New Bern is covering up for the cold front!

New Bern is covering up for the cold front!

Weather forecasters expect temperatures to reach the low to mid teens in New Bern on Saturday morning, the coldest air the area has felt in about five years. Officials are advising people to stay indoors and take their plants and pets with them. Cold air has already caused several accidents around the county as we were seeing some ice on the roads. Officials are warning drivers to watch out for slick bridges and overpasses the next several days. A cold front will begin to move through the area today, bringing the coldest arctic air New Bern will feel this winter and high temperatures are expected to stay in low 30s for the next 3-4 days. Some local golf courses are closing as they are covering greens in order to prevent possible serious damage to the facilities.
With sinking temperatures local Charity organizations are gearing up to offer as much assistance as well as to educate public about safety and hypothermia. People must understand how to safely heat their homes when temperatures drop into the teens as that is something this area is not used to. If you have extra winter clothing or blankets please remember Religious Community Services located on 919 George St (252) 633-2767 as they have people lined up and they are always doing such a phenomenal job helping New Bern area's less fortunate.

Be vary careful with your fuel and heating systems and drive safe!

Wow it is December......

Wow it is December ......again…..and we realize that 2008 is almost over!

2008 Has been a very challenging year for most of us with a declining Real Estate Market, summer of astronomical gas prices, stock market roller coaster, elections and last how about Clay Aiken being gay!
I just wanted to use this opportunity to extend a big "Thank You" to each and every one of you, for the huge impact you had on my life this year. Especially for all the support and e-mails I received.......without you, I'm sure that 2008 would have been extremely boring.
As always I am outmost grateful to all of you that have trusted me with your real estate business and wanted to let you know how much I do appreciate that! You helped me through this challenging year and thanks to you I am still only a phone call away. This challenging market has only made us better! May 2009 mark the beginning of an outburst of Love, Happiness, Bright Future and bring each and every one of you everything you are hoping for and more.
I am determined to make 2009 my best year ever personally as well as professionally as I am constantly striving to better myself.
Let me wish you all a Very Merry Christmas Season filled with Loving Wishes and Beautiful Thoughts as well as healthy and prosperous New Year.

P.S. Don’t forget that right now is great time to buy, New Bern NC Market is bottoming out and Inertest Rates are at historic low. IT WILL NOT GET ANY BETTER THEN THIS

Kitchen Fire

This is a dramatic video (30-second, very short) about how to deal with acommon kitchen fire ... oil in a frying pan. Read the following Introduction, then watch the show ... It's a real eye-opener!!
At the Fire Fighting Training school they would demonstrate this with a deep fat fryer set on the fire field. An instructor would don a fire suit and using an 8 oz cup at the end of a 10 foot pole, toss water onto the grease fire.
The results got the attention of the students. The water,being heavier than oil, sinks to the bottom where it instantly becomes superheated. The explosive force of the steam blows the burning oil up and out. On the open field, it became a thirty foot high fireball that resembled a nuclear blast. Inside the confines of a kitchen, the fire ball hits the ceiling and fills the entire room. Also, do not throw sugar or flour on a grease fire. One cup of either creates the explosive force of two sticks of dynamite.
