Your place at the beach: What real estate agents and developers should know about building, marketing and selling coastal property

Are you a real estate agent or builder on the North Carolina coast? If so, check your calendar for these dates: September 29 (Wilmington), October 3 (Atlantic Beach), October 16 (Nags Head). This is when the Real Estate Commission, in conjunction with UNC-Sea Grant and the Division of Coastal Management, will conduct a series of workshops of special interest to you.

Recognized experts will discuss such topics as erosion rates and control, construction standards, and disclosure requirements for real estate agents, as well as identify sources for additional information on buying and selling coastal real estate.

The workshops will begin at 9:00 a.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. Real estate agents will receive four (4) hours continuing education elective credit for attending.

Each workshop is limited to 125 persons, so registration will be on a first come-first served basis. To pre-register for one of the workshops, complete the following form (make copies for additional persons) and send it to the Commission with your $35 registration fee (includes lunch).

Make your check payable to the N.C. Real Estate Commission. The form and fee must be received in the Commission office no later than 10 days prior to the workshop requested. Walk-ins will be accepted on a space-available basis only.
