Three local
women have banded together to create a new type of real estate
agency. Many Oriental based real estate firms in the past have
targeted residents of the northeast, selling the advantages
of living in a small sailing village with a warmer climate.
"This has worked so well" says real estate entrepreneur
Jane Tindall, "that it has created a glut of available
property back in New Jersey."

Jane Tindall,
Rose Peterson, and Candace Young have teamed together to launch
Back To The Garden Real Estate. Tindall
says there are a number of reasons that will ensure their success.
"You can find choice waterfront homes in Cape May now for
just $80,000. Lots of 'em. Everybody has moved south and left
vacant property." Candace Young added "a lot of these
Jerseyites are ready to go back. They don't like grits and they
think it's too hot here."

The marketing plan
for the trio is to hang out in area coffee shops, loudly complaining
about the things that Oriental and Pamlico County lack. "For
instance, I might say 'you just can't get good lip gloss here',
or 'I wish we had a big mall with a Macys' - just to strike
up a conversation" said Rose Peterson. "Then, we go
for the sale."
