Matt Haley’s Ingredients for

Humanitarian SucceSS As the winner of the James Beard Foundation’s 2014 Humanitarian of the year award, the International Association of Culinary Professionals National Humanitarian award, and the National Restaurant Associations 2014 Cornerstone Humanitarian award, Matt Haley has become quite the celebrity this spring. Yet, Haley does not take this as a personal success. Rather, he sees this as recognition of the work of his company including his coworkers, and his community. For him, “this organization does not exist in our community, but rather, for and because of our community, both local and global.” Being honored by these three organizations all at once is a bit overwhelming, but this restauranteur remains grateful and humble in the face of amazing success. hile Haley was born and raised and first learned the culinary business in Washington, D.C., he has always felt a deep connection to Delaware.

He recalls fond childhood memories of enjoying summer crab, steak, and fresh sweet corn with his mother on Bethany Beach. These memories instilled in him a love for the area and for good food. In 1999, he moved to Delaware, planning to stay for a season, but there was no going back and it quickly became his home. In 2001, he went out on a limb and opened his first restaurant, now called Bluecoast Seafood Grill, in the sleepy beach town of Bethany that quickly found incredible acclaim, becoming a culinary destination. Today, his restaurant group, SoDel Concepts, consistently offers locally grown plates and tastes with multiple locations including, Fish On! in Lewes, NorthEast Seafood Kitchen in Ocean View, Catch54 in Fenwick Island, Papa Grande’s in Fenwick Island and Rehoboth, Lupo Di Mare in Rehoboth, Matt’s Fish Camp in North Bethany, and Plate Catering. For Haley, this has become a perfect way to combine two of his greatest passions: the beach and simple, fresh food.

W

38 ISSU E N O. 7

Still, he has a third great passion for giving back that shines through in his humanitarian work. Matt Haley is a byproduct of people who helped him and were there for him when he could not be there for himself. These people have inspired his deep involvement in service— both locally and globally. Living the way he lives, he understands the importance of community and friendship, bringing that into his restaurants and the many communities he is a part of. Just one of the many ways he gives back is as an active member of the Latino community surrounding Papa Grande’s. He gives a portion of the profits back into the community and also goes into local schools to work with the students offering support and mentorship.

In the end, the greatest part of the job is creating a business that employs people, especially those who may not be that employable, so they can have a good life, feed their children, and be happy. That is the simple but noble mission of Matt Haley Companies (MHC).

Right now, MHC is expanding to 27 businesses and bringing in about $50 million dollars in revenue. In the future, they hope to have 100 businesses bringing in about $250 million. The goal is to create revenue and leverage the profits for good. Whether that means opening up a factory near a prison for work release, a coffee plantation in Nepal for women who are coming out of bonded labor so they can make a decent leaving and feed their families, or hiring autistic young adults in their restaurants (something they

already do), Matt Haley infuses a commitment to others in every step of the process.

While for many people, his recent awards would be the culmination of a life’s work; they are just the beginning for Haley. He will absolutely be one to watch as he continues to make great food and an even greater difference in communities around the world.

You may be able to find a great deal on a condo or home while mortgage rates are still low. Current low interest rates can provide for a more desirable property without increasing your budgeted amount, and depending on your situation, can be advisable to paying cash. Be aware that qualifying for a second home loan can be tricky. If you intend to use the home as an investment, you will need to evaluate that the “numbers” make sense.

wning a second home in Delaware can offer many financial advantages. First, a second home used as a rental property can be a way to increase your income and cash flow. Also, in terms of quality vacation time with family, a second home at the Delaware shore sounds a lot more “fun” than a mutual fund. A third aspect to consider though is that homes typically are solid investments. The Rehoboth Beach real estate market regularly changes, however looking longterm, you’ll find that homes here always appreciate.

LEWES

Are you in a position where it would make sense to have another home in a resort town like Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach or Lewes? You’ll be interested to know that there are still tax benefits, along with lifestyle perks to owning a second home in Delaware. Delaware is one of the best places in the country due to its location to major metropolitan areas and our low tax burden.

Q+A

with Debbie Reed

Known as the “Nation’s Summer Capital,” Rehoboth Beach has served as a popular vacation spot for residents of the D.C. area since the early 1900s. Along with the rest of the Delaware Beaches, Rehoboth remains a popular summer destination and second home location for residents of the nation’s capital and the surrounding suburbs. Located about 3 hours from D.C., the Delaware Beaches provide a tranquil and scenic alternative to the fast paced environment of Washington. We spoke with Debbie Reed of The Debbie Reed Team about the second home market in Delaware.

2. If you plan to take out a loan to make the purchase, visit a lender and get preapproved so you know what your budget will be.

3. Decide how much time you will be spending at your vacation home. This will help determine whether a single family residence, townhouse or condo would be best for you, depending on how much time you will have or want to devote to upkeep.

DHM: When is the best time to buy a second home?

Debbie Reed: The best time to buy a second home is when you’re ready! Inventory comes on the market year-round, so whenever the buyer is ready to make a purchase is the best time to buy.

District Home Magazine: What is your advice to someone buying a second home?

Debbie Reed: 1. First, contact a licensed agent who works the area and knows the market—not someone who just dabbles in real estate.

DHM: What are some of the advantages to buying a second home in Delaware as opposed to elsewhere?

2. People can get here on a tank of gas from a number of major metro areas, including Philadelphia, Baltimore, Maryland, D.C., New Jersey, New York and Virginia. This makes Delaware a perfect, convenient place to invest in a second home.

3. Tax-free shopping.

4. Coastal Delaware has an amazing offering of good quality live entertainment with talented actors and musicians providing shows for adults and children alike.

5. World-class shopping and boutiques.

6. Delawareans are a welcoming people— we don’t frown on tourists but realize we depend on them for our livelihoods.

7. Restaurants that cater to every taste.

8. Other examples of places to see include the Rehoboth Art League, the Delaware State Parks, several bike trails and the Osher Center for Lifelong Learning.

Debbie Reed: 1. Beautiful natural resources.
