Mark Saunders Luxury Homes and its parent company the Coastal Companies continue
to thrive in beautiful Brunswick County, N.C. as they celebrate 25 years of
serving the community. Coastal Construction, the first division formed by Mark
Saunders in 1984, was founded on the same principals that remain today -
business integrity and a commitment to its owners and customers.

Mark Saunders, CEO of The Coastal Companies, said he is honored that so many
families have decided to live in one of the Coastal Companiescommunities. "Our
property owners are our passion, and we are continuously appreciative of their
faith in our company. Without the support of our owners we would not be the
strong company that we are today."

Seascape at Holden Plantation, the first amenity community to be designed and
built by The Coastal Companies, has become the definition of elegant waterfront
living. This private gated community "recaptures the gracious hospitality of an
era gone by, while providing modern conveniences," said Saunders. Residents
enjoy amenities and activities including a private beach club, fitness center,
nature pavilions, walking and biking trails, and an owners` clubhouse.

building your dream home, to loan origination and financing, The Coastal
Companies offers experience, reliability, and excellence.

difficult economic times. Last year Ocean Ridge Plantation was named a Top 100
