Brigantine Real Estate is getting clobbered, while City Hall and public unions keep getting big raises and even sweeter contracts.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s time to have a chat with your neighbors or acquaintances in the Brigantine Real Estate business? Their silence is at the root of Brigantine&#8217;s problem. Some say this deafening silence is like the beloved football coach; Joe Paterno, ignoring an obvious and horrible wrong-doing at Penn State.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Have a Brigantine friend, neighbor or relationships with a local Realtor?
