Deelyn is special guest on William and Mary coach’s show
Deelyn appeared as a special radio guest Monday, Jan. 21 on the “Chesapeake Bank Tony Shaver Show” featuring William and Mary’s basketball coach Tony Shaver.
The show was aired live from Paul’s Deli on 92.3 FM, 107.9 Bach FM and was streamed online at TribeAthletics.com. Deelyn represented the show’s “community partner” for the evening, Liz Moore and Associates.
Interviewed by Jay Colley, the voice of William and Mary athletics, Deelyn cited the influence of Liz Moore herself as the No. 1 market advantage enjoyed by LMA clients looking to sell or buy a home.
“Liz has demonstrated in more than one real-estate market that she’s a marketing genius and a real-estate guru,” Deelyn said.
Deelyn added that expectations are bright for the Williamsburg real-estate market in 2019.
“We’re expecting another good year for real estate; not crazy up and not crazy down, just steady,” Deelyn said. “Our biggest challenge this year will be a lack of inventory in the lower price points, so it’s a great time to consider selling if you’ve been on the fence.”
Deelyn’s interview on “The Chesapeake Bank Tony Shaver Show” can be heard here, starting at time marker 27:30.

NY Times calls Williamsburg a “must-visit” place for 2019
We know Williamsburg is a great place to live. But confirmation that it remains a great place to visit has come from the New York Times, which lists Williamsburg at No. 12 on this list of 52 places people should visit in 2019. That’s 52 spots in the entire world!
The list begins with Puerto Rico at No. 1, citing the island’s impressive rebound from Hurricane Maria. In the continental U.S., Williamsburg is the second city the Times lists behind Santa Barbara, Calif. The ‘burg is bookended between No. 11 Zadar, Croatia and No. 13 Las Vegas. How about that?
The Times had U.S. history buffs in mind when considering Williamsburg. It largely sites the many 400th anniversary events planned this year to mark significant historic developments that occurred in the Jamestown, Williamsburg, Yorktown triangle.
But the Times doesn’t forget to mention Busch Gardens and Water Country U.S.A., perennial favorites of tourists and residents alike.
Our cradle of history is in the spotlight for sure in 2019.

The joy of getting out and about in FC
Ford’s Colony is among the most naturally beautiful neighborhoods in the Williamsburg-James City County area. And that breathtaking beauty arrayed over 3,200 manicured acres becomes extra special for active residents who take advantage of the Colony’s winding, scenic and safe roads and walking paths.
While exercising on public roads and streets has become more dangerous lately in large part due to distracted driving, cyclists, runners and walkers in Ford’s Colony enjoy 15 miles of smooth paths and 50 miles of paved roads through woods and over gently rolling hills — with minimal intrusion by vehicles.
And then there’s the gorgeous two-mile nature trail on top of that.
The community of Ford’s Colony is active on a daily basis from first light — walking dogs, traversing “the loop” with friends, heading over to the swim and tennis club to play the wildly popular pickleball — so much so that motorists are used to safely co-existing with and yielding to pedestrians and riders. Usually with a friendly wave from behind the wheel.
That familiarity breeds awareness and a self-assuredness that benefits all who make getting out into the fresh air and invigorating setting a regular part of their Ford’s Colony day.

Play better golf with Ford’s Colony pro’s “Friday Fix”
Eric Simmons is the popular director of golf instruction at Ford’s Colony. Besides being a constant friendly presence around the club, Eric really knows his stuff on the teaching tee – and more importantly he knows how to get information across to his students in a positive and understandable way.

Today’s lesson breaks down the keys to hitting a solid wedge shot in wet conditions, which is par for the November dampness.
Remember, golf is an integral part of the vibrant life at Ford’s Colony. The community features three challenging and picturesque 18-hole championship golf courses — Blue Heron, Blackheath and Marsh Hawk — a fully stocked pro shop, a top-notch staff and a great “19th hole” in Murdoch’s pub.
