What is the BEST PIZZA at the Delaware Beaches?

Posted on March 26, 2012 by Carla Miller-Scheder

Last week our temperatures hit the high 70′s and even 80 on Friday. Those days got me thinking that all of the activities and smells of summer here in Rehoboth Beach are just around the corner. We plan on writing a few blogs about some local foods and things to do here at the Delaware beaches. More than that, we would love to here from you about some of your favorites. Whether you are a local, a yearly visitor or a passer though, you likely have had some great food and fun in our towns.

Post 1: Pizza!

This topic is one of our favorites and most heated here at the Delaware Beaches. Everyone has their personal favorite place to have some “pie”. It has been a source of debate and discussion for decades. Pizza has really only been commercially popular in the U.S. for about 100 years. Here in Sussex County, it seems that our famous pizza places and debates over who is the best has been around for at least that long.

Grotto’s Pizza certainly has had the most commercial success with nearly 20 restaurants in Delaware and Pennsylvania. Their “legendary” taste started right here in Rehoboth Beach over 50 years ago as a take-out stand on the avenue. Nicola’s Pizza was born here in Rehoboth Beach over 40 years ago. Their Nic-o-boli (a similar product to a calzone) is a local and tourist favorite. No list for Rehoboth would be complete without Louie’s Pizza as well. Some people feel that Louie’s is simply the best deal in town. Pizza Villa , located in Midway has been around for decades and has a loyal following. Mr. P’s and Lewes Pizza in Lewes also gets very high reviews. I’m sure there are many, many more Pizza places that have stood out in your mind as well.

Take a second to let us know who you feel truly has the BEST PIZZA here at our Delaware Beaches! Let the debate go on!

Homes for Sale in DELAWARE BEACH AREAS

Posted on February 12, 2012 by Carla Miller-Scheder

When searching Homes for Sale in Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Lewes, Milton or Bethany Beach, DELAWARE (or any area really, not just ours) I recently have been reminded of the importance of using a reputable Realtor.

There are the important list of reasons that most people know like having good representation, solid negotiating skills and dealing with someone knowledgeable about Homes for Sale in the specific area that you are interested in.

I have recently been searching online for Real Estate in Delaware as the general public would verses as a the Realtor that I am. This helps me to know my clients and how to best assist them. I want to see exactly what listing information they see when searching for Homes for Sale in our DELAWARE BEACH AREAS.

I am shocked providing the internet and online services  exploding with growth in recent years that  information on sites like Trulia, Zillow, Yahoo Real Estate, Realtor.com and other top rated and ranked sites, is at times outdated, unclear and not very thorough.

If I were a consumer searching for Homes for Sale in our DELAWARE BEACH AREAS I would be frustrated by MIS-information. The above mentioned online Real Estate sites are fine for getting a “general idea” of area prices but not as much for the buyer who is serious and ready to consider a purchase.  I would prefer clear, solid, specific and thorough information.

Today’s buyer is certainly more savvy than just 10 years ago. 93% of buyers that contact me for an appointment to preview Homes for Sale in Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Lewes, Milton,  or Bethany Beach DELAWARE have already been online looking at our EXTREME TAX FREE OUTLET MALLS, our BEACHES, Bays and Oceans, Our Abundant History and our Way of Life — Especially our incredibly LOW TAXES.

I do suggest to save yourself the frustration of MIS-information and dead end searching, once you get serious about Homes for Sale in our DELAWARE BEACH AREAS– Pick a Professional and work directly with a Local and Trusted Real Estate Company and their company website. The majority of company websites for Real Estate generate their information from our MLS (Multiple Listing System) which is updated often.

Visit us online at www.Beachteam.com . Recently and thoroughly updated Beachteam.com will provide you up to date information on All Homes for Sale in Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Lewes, Milton and Bethany Beach, DELAWARE as well as many surrounding areas in Southern DELAWARE too.

If not Beachteam.com– No Problem — just find a Local, Trusted and Experienced Realtor that has the tools available to provide you Homes for Sale in our DELAWARE BEACH AREAS and provide you plenty of thorough and up to date information. Many of the top ranked real estate search sites leave Even ME — Frustrated and Confused and I am a Local!

Best of Luck in Your Search for Homes for Sale in our DELAWARE BEACH AREAS.

It IS a GREAT Place to Live !

Having Trouble with Your Mortgage?

Posted on February 6, 2012 by Tiffany Carver-O'Malley

Having Trouble Making your monthly Mortgage Payments, a short sale may be the answer!
If you are having trouble making your monthly mortgage payments or you are already behind on your monthly payments, a short sale maybe a good alternative to foreclosure.  If you want to sell your house but it’s worth less than the amount remaining on the mortgage, a short sale may allow you to sell your house and settle your mortgage debt.
By completing a short sale rather than allowing your house to go through foreclosure, you avoid eviction and your house will not be sold at a sheriff sale or auction. Plus, depending on your circumstances, you could qualify to have any deficiency waived helping your future financial picture.  A deficiency judgment in a short sale is basically the difference between what the house sells for and what is still owed on the property. You could also qualify for financial assistance to help with relocation costs if you are still living in your home.
If you have questions about the short sale process or would like to discuss your mortgage situation, feel free to contact Tiffany Carver-O’Malley at tiffany@beachteam.com or 302-312-1173 for more information.

The 2012 Lewes Polar Bear Plunge

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Carla Miller-Scheder

Every year thousands of daring souls flock to Rehoboth Beach to take a quick plunge into the chilly waters of the Atlantic Ocean.  The entire town celebrates this event throughout the first weekend in February. Since the event planners have scheduled events with families in mind, Rehoboth Beach will be buzzing with many fun filled activities for all ages. The Polar Bear Cake-Off will be held at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center. Five master bakers will face off in a competition to make the best Polar Bear themed creation.

A 5k walk and run will be held on Saturday the 4th. It is a perfect way to warm up before the plunge held on Sunday.

The kids will also find plenty to do and enjoy. A ice sculpting contest is always a favorite spectator sport for young and old. They can decorate their own Polar Bear ornaments and get a washable “tattoo” to remember the weekend.

Last year nearly 3100 people took the plunge as 20,000 spectators looked on. This year marks the 21st anniversary of this very popular event. The 2011 Plunge raised over $500,000. All of the event proceeds benefit the Delaware Special Olympics.

Check out the links below to find out more about this increasingly popular event.
