I'm Linda A. Moran, born in Washington, DC and raised in the Maryland suburbs. As a native I have a very good knowledge of Maryland and the Eastern Shore. My husband and I moved to the Eastern Shore in 1991 so that he could pursue his dream of running a Charter Boat. Since we had owned property in Ocean City since the mid 80's, we already knew this was where we wanted to spend most of our time. What a great place to live and work. The laid back atmosphere and the friendly people keep this part of the country a great place to live. Even if you can only have a second home, it still is a great place to come home too!

Bargain Properties >Diamonds in the Rough
There are a lot of "diamonds in the rough" for sale. A property with incredible potential may be in a great location, have large sunny rooms and a big yard, but it may also have dated wall paper, worn carpeting, and uninspired bathrooms. If you can look beyond the surface, you may see a house that could be transformed by a little "elbow grease", paint, and new carpets.
A house that is structurally sound with all the systems in good condition may be only a few cosmetic repairs away from being fantastic! A home that does not show well is usually priced accordingly. If the price doesn't reflect the condition of the house, the seller may be more willing to negotiate than a seller who has made a considerable investment in preparing a home for the market.
Bring your imagination with you on your next house hunting trip! You may be pleasantly surprised to find a diamond in the rough.
