Just this week we have had several articles in the newspaper and on local news that properties are moving at a rapid rate.  We are definitely moving forward.  I did a search on the MLS and found 30 homes closed in the past three months in Lee County Listed over $1,000,000. WOW! It is becoming increasingly difficult to find a perfect home ...

Did you vote in the last primary?  Probably NOT! Well I guess you don't care about higher taxes and mismanaged money.  We are on the verge of recovery.  New homes are being built. (Not huge numbers but the builders still left standing are getting busy again).  The great deals on the market are creating a bidding war with ...

We were first in, first to drop and first to recover.  The numbers say it loud and clear.

 Showing foreclosure properties to buyers has made this week a wild ride.  I'm showing 10 a day and I'm exhausted at the end of the day.  First there are fire ants in the lawns, snasty spiders on the doors, sometimes mold and other unidentifiable things inside.  Some are like a toxic waste dumps and one wonders what ...

Optimism Is What I Do. I’ve been accused of always being positive and sometimes over the top.  I try to stay optimistic and believe the best in people and circumstances. That attitude will win the day.  It makes me feel good.  I think that kind of attitude creates a synergy of positive direction. My crystal ball seems to ...

 Short sales and mercury have very similar qualities.  The agents and the public are being inundated with short sale information.  This crazy market is like liquid mercury.  Ever break one of those glass thermometers?  I did as a kid. I held it in the steam of the old vaporizer and POW it broke; just like our real estate ...
