About the host
Hosted by Beata Lorinc
Hello, my name is Beata (rhymes with Miata) but you can call me Be. I've had "own a beach house" on my vision board since I was 30, and a few months before my 40th birthday my dreams came true and we bought our first beach home.
My husband and I are proud Penn Staters and currently live in Cary, NC with our two sons Leo (2006) and Dylan (2009), our two dogs and our 2 cats (don't worry, none of the cats will come to the beach house).
I am a licensed realtor in NC. My primary market is Cary/Apex/Raleigh and the surrounding towns. I also working with buyers looking for their own little slice of heaven on Topsail Island.
My father is a skilled carpenter and mason and my mother is a professional housekeeper and I have been running Handy Maven, a boutique remodeling firm in Baltimore for them since 2012. I have been flipping houses with my dad since I was 12. I can not wait to dive in and continue making upgrades and remodels to this already gorgeous, sturdy and well maintained home.
Before I left my corporate career to raise my boys, I was a Logistician for Procter & Gamble. My favorite assignment was leading the customer service team.
I am also a trained speaker, writer, and trainer. I LOVE leading retreats and leadership events. My goal is to be of service to you in any way that I can be.
