Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity Builds a House in Leland

On Saturday agents and staff from the Leland Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Realty office turned out to help paint the interior of a home being built in Leland by Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity.


In the photo below, Alpha Mortgage's Lam Nguyen, Sea Coast Realty Leland office Broker-in-Charge Denise Kinney, and broker Scott Bowser get ready to paint.

The sun shown in brightly as the crew got ready, including family members who will live in the house. Brokers Peter David in the far corner, Karen Schwartz signing in, and Doug Jackson with a broom.

Trace McKay.

Lam's height meant he didn't need a ladder to hit the high spots.

Denise talks with the supervising contractor with Karen in the background and broker Julie Bass coming from the impromptu parking lot next door.

While we were painting other volunteers were working on the siding and front and back porches.

Yeah, that's me with Karen doing the window.

Getting ready for lunch. Sea Coast agent Linda Killian delivered it, Lam Nguyen paid for it!


Eight pizza went pretty quickly.

A good time, good work, good people.
