Holden Beach, NC In The Morning
Before I headed into the office this morning, I went down to Holden’s new waterfront pavilion to shoot some video. It was beautiful this morning and peaceful under the bridge.
I hope that those of you who cannot be at the coast will still feel a part of it with my videos. When the stress gets a little too much and you want to strangle the boss, don’t do it. Log on to the Brunswick Broker, relax and go to the beach, even if it’s online.
If I can help you with your search for property here in Brunswick County, just give me a call. I’ve recently added a very convenient property search form button at the top of the page. Check it out and let me help you find your little piece of paradise here at the coast. There has never been a better time to invest.

My Top Video Hosting Sites
I’m constantly on the lookout for new ways to shoot and host internet videos. Video is such a fun hobby of mine and I’m still learning. Video on the internet is certainly a field of constant change.
I would imagine that if Walt Disney were still alive, even he would be amazed at how far technology has come. Could you imagine taking a video class and looking over and seeing Walt Disney sitting there? Well, neither can I, maybe that’s a stretch. Videographers are always willing to learn. What’s amazing to me also, is that these folks are also willing to share their knowledge. It’s sort of an online fraternity. I want to thank all of those out there that freely share their skills and knowledge on the web.
For those who are interested in the gear. I shoot with a Canon XH A1 High Definition Video Camera. I edit with Final Cut Express from Apple. I’m very new to Final Cut Express and I have a lot to learn. The problem is finding the time to sit down and learn the program. It will take time. I edit on a MacBookPro 17″.
I use internet video hosting sites that are “free” to host my videos. Me and Free get along very well. One of my favorite video hosting site is Vimeo.
The reason I like Vimeo is that this site will allow you to upload very large files of high-definition videos. Video files are very large and high definition files are even larger. It takes a lot of bandwidth to play these videos on the internet.
I have recently found a new video hosting site that I like very much. If you enjoy watching or shooting video, may want to check this site out. It’s call Exposure Room. Exposureroom.com. I’ve uploaded a few videos to this site and the quality is outstanding. Membership is free. Remember what I said about free? It only took about 1 minute to set up my account. I was uploading a video in just a couple of minutes. You can check out my page on Exposure Room here. I love the fact that you can also upload your photos. I take a lot of high-def photos with my Canon XH A1 and this site allows viewers to view the photos in high definition. If you are into photography, you should put your photos on display on Exposure Room. A very cool feature is that you can embed your photos from ER to your own web site. See my example below of one of my photos embedded here on the Brunswick Broker. Click the photo to go to my photo page and click the large version. The quality is stunning.
There is a lot of talent on Exposure Room. I have enjoyed the work of Steven Dempsey for many months now. Steven is a very talented videographer/cinematographer. He specializes in nature videos and is well respected in the industry. You owe it to yourself to check out his videos. You can view Steven’s video page here. Below is a video from Steven Dempsey that I especially like. It’s called Snoqualmie. I hope you enjoy it and be sure to check out his page for more of his work. Click the link below his video to view it in a much larger high-definition format.
If you attempt to watch a video and get a window asking you to update your Adobe Flash Player, it’s ok and it’s safe. You need the updated player to view the videos.

How To Build A House, Construction Check Off List
Ok, here we are. We have a building lot that has been cleared and pilings are set for our new “ocean style” house on pilings in Holden Beach, NC but how did we get our construction to this point?
As a builder, it’s a great feeling to watch a building start to rise from the dirt, but there is a lot of work that must happen first. A client usually does not realize the time, effort and costs just to get a house to the point where you see it in the photo above, and it’s no where near completion. We have just started!
Let’s look at what has happened in the form of a list to get us where we are today.
The Brunswick Islander, Beach House On Pilings Is Now Under Construction
Last week we started construction of the “Brunswick Islander”. The Islander is a 1344 sq. ft. beach home on pilings. Located in Holden Beach, NC in the quiet little subdivision of Brunswick Landing. If you are looking for Holden Beach Real Estate, this certainly deserves your attention.
The picture above is a rendering of the final product.
Arguably the best new construction value in Brunswick County, NC. $249,900 with an elevator.
If you have never experienced the convenience of an elevator in a home, let me tell you, there is nothing quite like it. I’m not a lazy person by any stretch and many times I skip the elevator and hit the stairs just to give a jumpstart to my heart. However, when you have a vehicle full of grocery bags or luggage, that elevator door is an awesome site.
We have an elevator in the D & S Building Contractors “Model Home”. Our guests who view this home certainly appreciate it. As a builder, we take into consideration that an elevator is really not a luxury, it’s a necessity. You are all invited to tour our model and experience the convenience of our 3-landing elevator for yourself. All D & S homes built in Brunswick Landing will feature elevators. If you are considering building 2-stories or more, an elevator should be in your plans.
Videos of this project are coming soon. If you would like to follow me while I show you the construction process, please subscribe to the BrunswickBroker so you will not miss a single entry.
