One of the most significant rites of passage to adulthood is home ownership. If you own a home, you probably remember the feeling of accomplishment once the papers were signed and you were handed the keys. It’s not always a quick and easy process, especially if you don’t have a seasoned professional leading you through. We caught up with Pam Price from Remax Coast and Country to find out what you need to know before you start hitting up open houses.

Through the years, we’ve seen all types of fun themes at the Southern Delaware Heart Ball, but the mission remains the same, to bring the Delmarva community together to celebrate the strides, to raise funds, and to honor those who have battled heart conditions. This time around, have your vintage Vegas gear ready, because that’s is the theme. Chairs of the 2019 Southern Delaware Heart Ball, Patrick and Stephanie Preece join us to talk about this year’s event that will be held June 1st from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Dover Downs Hotel.
