These are all normal questions to ask about a place you’re investing in, whether it be a vacation or primary residence. I talk […]

I Love a Hometown Parade

By Debby Coughlan, in All Communities

On Tue Dec 6, 2011, a long line of decorated floats, trucks, and even scooters lit up the streets of downtown Rehoboth for the annual Rehoboth Beach Christmas parade.

Half Off at the Beach

By Adam Pettengell, in The Villages at Herring Creek

Okay, okay calm down! The title doesn’t mean Schell Brothers is giving 50% off the prices of their homes – yet! Just kidding, Chris. No, this is a follow up to my last blog about great deals to be aware of when you visit, or make your home at the beach, or even have friends who live […]

The List!

By Adam Pettengell, in The Villages at Herring Creek

I bet you’re wondering what The List is. You might be thinking about a list of reasons to buy in Delaware, or a list of reasons to buy with Schell Brothers over any other builder at the beach, or maybe a list of reasons to buy from me over any other salesman. In fact, you […]

Visit the Beach in the Fall for a Fantastic Experience!
