Julie Hutsell-Starling was in her mid 30s and in the middle of a toxic relationship she couldn't extract herself from when she heard a song that changed everything. It was the catalyst to finally leave this relationship and start the healing process. When she started dating again, she was so clear on what she wanted that the dates were actually interviews. After roughly 50 first dates she met the man she would eventually marry. Now that she had found a wonderful, loving relationship, it ignited the spark inside her to find something that was as good a fit in the professional realm as her relationship was in the personal realm.Guest Bio Since 2000, Dr. Julie Hutsell-Starling, DACM, L.Ac has been discovering, studying, and experiencing the mind/body connection and multiple energetic modalities that allow you to tap into your body's innate sense of balance, health, and well-being.Her personal journey started when she was just 27 and diagnosed with chronic pain. While healing herself, she discovered acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, which she found helpful with the pain and more importantly, helped her get to the root cause of the pain, which has kept it from returning all these years. Importantly, her career has also been her greatest teacher. She struggled with burnout off and on for years in private acupuncture practice no matter how much self-care she did, and it wasn't until she understood the real root cause of the burnout, that the symptoms finally went away and have stayed away. Dr. Julie loves to guide her clients to get to the root cause of their challenges. When you address the root cause instead of chasing the symptoms, that is how you find true healing, and how you re-find the creativity, joy, inspiration, ease, and flow in your work, your relationships, and in your life. Dr. Julie teaches her clients self-healing techniques they can use daily or anytime they need, because she is passionate about putting the power and control back in their hands, and guiding them to connect with their intuition and inner knowing that has been there all along to reclaim their highest healing.Dr. Julie is a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, a Certified Health Coach, a Soul Realignment Akashic Records Practitioner, and a Kundalini Yoga Teacher. She has been working with patients/clients since 2005 and has worked with thousands of patients and coaching clients in private practice. Dr. Julie lives in Beaufort, NC on the beautiful Crystal Coast, with her husband and three kitties.Turning 40 and Going on 50 First DatesIn this week's episode, Stephanie sits down with Julie Hutsell-Starling, who learned to love herself and then redefined her romantic life and career in midlife. Julie shares her raw and touching story of growing up with an alcoholic mother, battling through toxic relationships, and ultimately finding her true self and love. Her journey is not just about overcoming, but about thriving and rediscovering her passion in a way that aligns with her true self.Episode HighlightsJulie discusses her challenging childhood with an alcoholic and abusive mother, which shaped her early years and self-perception.She opens up about her journey through toxic relationships, including a pivotal moment that led her to end a particularly damaging relationship.Julie's transformative experience in Italy as a foreign exchange student that opened her eyes to different ways of living and loving.Julie's inspiring story of meeting her husband, how online dating played a role, and the intuitive moment she knew she had found her true companion.The significant impact of a career in acupuncture, how burnout led her to reevaluate her life, and the eventual shift towards a practice that aligns more closely with her soul's purpose.The evolution of her professional...

When's the last time you heard of someone's resume being exciting, right?

If you fish for big game, chances are you've heard of the Big Rock Tournament here on the Crystal Coast. Heck, if you've ever visited the Crystal Coast, you've heard of it too - probably while strolling the Morehead City Waterfront and seeing their fish scale at Big Rock Landing. What you might not know is that Big Rock is a nonprofit organization that supports an array of charities. You might also not be aware that the winnings of the tournament currently add up to over $3,000,000! This year, in addition to the 63rd Annual Big Rock Tournament and the Keli Wagner Lady Angler (KWLA) Tournament, they've added a 3rd tournament: The Big Rock Kids Tournament.

On this episode of On Conversation we discuss the area we call home: The Crystal Coast.

Scotty and John Talk Redfish, False Albacore, Project Healing Waters, and More! Captain John Mauser is a fly fishing and light tackle guide out of Swansboro, North Carolina. He has been fishing the waters of North Carolina for thirty-five years. John spent his youth on the Chowan River in northeast NC hunting for bluegill and bass. The Chowan River was also the location where John first cast a fly rod, throwing little popping bugs at lily pads in search of bass. As a teenager, John became more familiar with the great saltwater fishing available along the coast.  John graduated from UNC Wilmington with a Marine Biology Degree and soon started working for the North Carolina Aquariums. For the past 15 years, Mauser has called Swansboro his home and has spent a great deal of his time learning the local waters. John and his wife have two sons, a ten-year-old and a four-year-old, who always keep life interesting. John helped establish the local Crystal Coast Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing Program, which rehabilitates disabled military veterans through fly tying and fly fishing activities. Six years later, John is still an active volunteer with the program, assisting with casting instruction, fly tying, and fishing trips for the veterans. In 2014, John helped re-form the Cape Lookout Albacore Festival, and served as a board member for the first five years. The Cape Lookout Albacore Festival is a 3-day event, held each October around the height of the fall False Albacore run.  The Festival consists of a private fishing event for disabled veterans, a public fishing tournament, auctions, dinners, and captain's parties. All of the funds from each C.L.A.F. is donated to Project Healing Waters Fly Fishing at the State and National Levels. In 2017, John launched Mauser Fly Fishing, a local manufacturer of USA made fly rods. John's love for guiding anglers and giving casting instruction led to the formation of this brand. John will tell you that this company is the most challenging thing he's ever attempted, and he loves every second of it. In 2019, John worked with a few other local fly fishing guides and formed the Carolina Fly Fishing Academy. The academy offers 1 and 2 day courses based around saltwater fly fishing in the Southeast.

2019 has gotten off to an incredible start for the Crystal Coast real estate market. There has been a surge of buyer demand, which is great news for anyone thinking of selling this year. However, there is no time like the present. Experts like Nick Ron (CEO of Home Buyers of America) agree that selling this year will yield far better results than doing so in years to come.  “Delaying much longer could cost you dearly.” The opportunity to earn the best possible deal for your home has not yet passed so we need to get started with the process. Why? There are a couple of crucial reasons:  1. Mortgage rates are still historically low. Because of this, buyers are eager to lock in a low rate while they still can. This gives sellers an incredible amount of leverage. 2. Supply is down.There are more buyers than properties available on the market at this time. For any sellers savvy enough to see the “bigger picture,” this means just one (very important) thing: less competition. It’s simple supply and demand—the fewer competing sellers there are in our market, the better chance you’ll have at selling quickly and for top dollar. What does this all mean for you? It means that NOW is the time to act if you’re thinking of selling. Delaying much longer could cost you dearly. The good news, as I’ve already indicated, is that our market remains strong for now, but no one knows what the future may bring. I’d love the opportunity to give you an idea of what you could earn for your home. I’m very familiar with our market and would be happy to help you make the most of this opportune moment in real estate. If you’re ready to take advantage of current conditions as a seller or buyer, please give me a call or send me an email right away! I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Our team has been collecting and compiling real estate data for over 20 years. I’ve got some current information to share today for our Crystal Coast real estate market. I’ll start with some summary statistics for the first quarter of 2019, which we compared to what we saw in the first quarter of 2019: Total inventory is down 30% New listings are down 22% Total unit sales are down 20% The average sales price is up 16% We’re still in the strongest market we’ve been in since 2005, which is when the market last peaked. Then it declined until 2010, and we’ve seen steady increases since. Hurricane Florence caused 2018 to slightly underperform, and the lack of inventory in the first quarter of this year has constrained our unit sales compared to the previous year’s first quarter. Based on the first quarter sales and given the existing rate of new listings and inventory, our 2019 annual sales conceivably will not meet 2018’s despite a large demand. At 1:52 in the video above, you can see that the average sale price peaked in 2007 before decreasing through 2014. From 2015 on, the average price has been on a steady increase. For the first quarter of 2019, it ended up 10% higher than what we saw at the end of 2018. We believe this price will continue to rise as demand for inventory continues and we push toward a seller’s market. At 2:27, you’ll see that our months’ supply of inventory ballooned from a historic low of 5.4 in 2005 to its peak of 21.4 in 2009. We’ve seen a steady decline in inventory since. Historically, the industry has recognized a six-month inventory as balanced. This is a pivotal point because we’ve been under six months of inventory since October of last year, meaning we’re in a seller’s market.  Going forward, there are two big unknowns: the unmeasured impact that Florence has had on our inventory and the likelihood of increased interest rates. The 30-year fixed rate mortgage chart at 3:40 displays the steady run of recent historic low mortgage rates for the past 24 months. Rates bottomed out in the summer of 2016 at 3.44% and rose modestly but steadily in 2018 and ended at 4.64%. Surprisingly, rates have fallen each month in this first quarter. I still believe that modest rate increases will happen in 2019. This means that if you intend to sell, now is the time. You can take advantage of the buyer’s ability to do more with their real estate dollar and cash in on that demand. You can get our full report on starteamrealestatereport.com. If you have any questions for us in the meantime about the market or about anything else related to real estate, don’t hesitate to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

The Crystal Coast of NC has it all: perfect beaches, loads of history and charming fishing villages with lots of fun active things to do. Here's the scoop.

Here we are in the holiday season, with just a few days remaining in 2018. During this season, it’s the perfect time to look back and recognize our many blessings. Here on the Crystal Coast, we had the wind knocked out of our sails when we were hit by Hurricane Florence. Currently, homes and businesses are slowly, but surely, being put back together. Despite this year’s earlier hardship, our area is still an awesome place to live, work, and visit. “Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you” On behalf of my fellow agents here at the Star Team, I want to say thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you. We look forward to continuing to do so for many years to come.

We hope you have a Merry Christmas, a Happy Holiday season and a happy 2019.

Summer is here and it is a great time to buy or sell a property, but partnering with the right agent will be crucial to your success.

A high-quality agent has exceptional communication and negotiation skills. These skills will enable an agent to work effectively with buyers and sellers. 3. Agents should stay on the cutting edge of technology and marketing. This demonstrates dedication and commitment to providing top-level service. 4. Agents must have respect from their professional peers, the real estate community, and local homeowners. My goal is to become your preferred Realtor of choice. By working with the most innovative real estate brokerage on the Crystal Coast, the Star Team will be able to raise the marketing of your listing to a new level.Selling homes today is as much an art as it is a science, so please entrust me with the duty of taking care of your real estate goals.

You can see the complete Crystal Coast 2018 1st Quarter Real Estate Market Results and our Charts by clicking this link: StarTeamRealEstateReport.com Here on the Crystal Coast, spring is one of the hottest seasons in real estate to list your home to sell. And spring 2018 is shaping up to be important for someone looking to sell. Here are a few points I’d like you to consider: 1. Demand continues to outstrip our supply here in the Crystal Coast. The months’ supply of inventory in our market is at the lowest point today since the red-hot market peak back in 2005. Months’ supply of inventory is the measure of how many months it would take for the current inventory of homes on the market to sell out, given the present pace of home sales. New listings of existing homes are just not keeping pace with demand. 2. Home prices are moving upwards. In our market, home prices were up 7% in 2017 and we expect that trend to continue. It’s not just our Crystal Coast that’s doing well—areas around the country keep posting record highs for home values. 3. Mortgage rates are finally rising. The Fed increased rate several times over the past year, and mortgage rates finally do seem to be responding. and the 30-year fixed rate is now hovering around 4.5%. While this is a four-year high, it’s still near historic lows and continues for now to make mortgages affordable to would-be buyers. What does all this mean for you as a home seller? First off, right now is a very good time to sell. “If you have been thinking about selling your home, consider selling now. The current market is very favorable, but it won’t last forever.” In other words, if you were to put your home on the market right now, you could get top dollar, and likely be able to sell quickly and with less hassle. Second, it’s not clear how long this favorable situation will last. I mentioned mortgage rates are on the rise and if rates continue to rise, it can drive buyers out of the market and eventually push price down. Another thing to consider is the effects of the new tax plan. It’s not entirely clear how it will affect the real estate market, but odds are good it will make purchasing a home more expensive. That’s because of a new cap on state and local tax deductions, which could combine with higher mortgage rates to push more buyers out of the market. To sum up, if you have been thinking about selling your home, consider selling now. The current market is very favorable, but it won’t last forever. Here’s how to get started. You can get a quick estimate of the current value of your home, based on recent  sales: Enter your address here to find out what your home is worth And if you want a more detailed estimate, or you want to get the ball rolling on selling your home while this boom lasts, give me a call at 252-422-2205.

Today I have some really good information to share about the Crystal Coast real estate market. Many of you already know that The Star Team has been collecting data and compiling local market statistics for the last 20 years. Traditionally, we snail mail and email our quarterly reports that are included in our newsletters and we frequently highlight this data on our weekly radio shows. Each quarter, we’ll be adding this very important data to our real estate videos and blogs. In addition, we’re making this summary data and the complete report available online at http://www.starteamrealestatereport.com/. Here are some important statistics from the last year that you need to know now: •    Total unit sales for all properties were up 16.2% from 2016.•    Average selling price was up 6.9% compared to 2016.•    Total dollar sales were up 24.2% compared to 2016.•    Total inventory was down 4.6% compared to 2016.•    Pending contracts for all properties were up 14.4% over 2016. “You can get the full report right here on this page.”This is the strongest market we have seen since the peak in 2005. This first chart in the video above illustrates the unit sales trends for all residential properties in Carteret County since the last peak in 2005. As you can see, our market peaked in 2005 and was in steady decline through 2009. Finally, we saw our first overall increase in 2010 and this has continued for eight straight years. Sales have been strong through the end of 2017, and we believe this trend will continue and that the number of total sales will pass our 2005 peak within the next couple of years. The next chart is for the average sale price for residential properties. This second chart shows the average sale prices for the past 12 years. You can see the average price peaked in 2007, then took a dive for three straight years. Beginning in 2010, we observed fluctuating prices through 2014. Since 2014, the average has been on a steady rise and ended the year close to $300,000. As our inventory continues to decrease, we believe we will continue to see increases in prices as we enter into a more balanced market. The final chart demonstrates that our inventory has grown from a low of 5.4 months in 2005 to its peak of 21.4 months in 2009. We have seen a steady decline in inventory for the past eight years since that 2009 high. We currently have a 7.6-month supply, which is moving toward a balanced market. We are seeing many areas in residential property that are now in short supply and as a result, prices are increasing. 2017 was a great year for us at The Star Team and 2018 is going to be even better. If you have any questions for us in the meantime, or if you need any help buying or selling real estate, don’t hesitate to reach out and give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Today I’m bringing you a quick look at our market’s latest numbers as well as some key listing tips. We’ve had a good hot summer this year in Crystal Coast, and the real estate market in our area is seeing that same heat. Now that the summer has come to a close, it’s time for a market update. First of all, it’s interesting to note that the total number of sold properties is up from last year by 217 homes. The average list price and average sold price are both also up, each having risen by $9,000. Another factor we’re seeing is a shorter number of days on market. The average days on market has actually gone down since last year by about 47 days. “The summer has been hot, and the real estate market in our area is seeing that same heat.” If you’re thinking about putting your house on the market, it’s a great time to do so. Inventory is very low right now, so the market is in need of properties. Whether you plan to list this month or a year from now, there are a few key things you can do to prepare. For one thing, upgrading your countertops is always a great idea. Another area that buyers look at closely is flooring. I would wait to change out carpet until you’re close to listing, but vinyl and hardwood can be put in any time. If you have any other questions, would like more information, or want more listing tips, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

We wanted to give you a quick refresher on some of the most important things you can do to prepare yourself for this hurricane. Today I wanted to lay out a plan and offer a few tips for you to consider as Hurricane Irma continues to bear down and has us all guessing where and when it might land. This is currently a category 4 storm and potentially one of the worst storms ever recorded. I just wanted to offer some reminders to help you get ready for anything Mother Nature might throw at us. 1. Stay tuned to the local weather station. They’re going to keep you updated on the critical info from the National Weather Service. 2. Check your disaster supply now. Your supply kit should be ready to go with a gallon of water per person, non-perishable food for three days, flashlights, batteries, and candles. 3. Remove or tie down objects in the yard. Make sure things like patio furniture are stowed away or secured so they can’t blow away or cause damage. 4. Take inventory of your property. We haven’t had a ton of hurricane wind damage in a long time here on the Crystal Coast, but we’re very susceptible to flooding. Take pictures, do a walkthrough, and write down everything. That way, if you ever have a flood or wind insurance claim to make, you’ll have something to fall back on. 5. It’s a good idea to turn the fridge and freezer all the way down. Setting the fridge and freezer to the coldest setting will help you keep it cool if the power goes out, and your food will stay fresh longer. Keep the doors closed as much as possible if you lose power. 6. Don’t forget to turn off the gas. If you have propane or other small appliances, make sure they’re turned off. 7. Keep your gasoline tank in your vehicles full. If there’s flooding and you need to get out of town, be prepared to exit with a full tank. “Have an evacuation plan in place.” 8. Have an evacuation plan in place. This way everyone in your family will know what to do and you won’t be scrambling at the last minute. As always, if you have any more questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at the Star Team. We would be happy to help you. We wish you all good luck and safety through this big storm.
