Coastal area real estate firms are reminded that they may request copies of the FREE booklet, Your Place at the Beach: A Buyer's Guide to Vacation Real Estate, for distribution to their customers. This booklet, which is co-published by the Commission and the UNC Sea Grant College Program, contains helpful facts and advice for prospective buyers of all types of vacation real estate along North Carolina's coast. Many real estate agents who have participated in this consumer awareness program during the past eighteen months have had high praise for the booklet and have indicated that it is helpful to agents as well as consumers.

The Commission will provide copies of this booklet free of charge to coastal area real estate firms who want to distribute it to their customers as a public relations gesture. Such firms are permitted to stamp or write "Compliments of [Firm Name]" on the booklet. Interested firms may order a supply of the booklets by calling Mrs. Faye Hewett in the Commission's Education Department at (919) 733-9580.
