  Marina Village waterfront condos for sale in Alameda Marina Village is in a casual, tranquil setting with bike and walking paths wending through the complex.  Marina Park is on the edge of the community adjacent to the Marina Village Harbor with its spectacular water views.

It's Sunday morning again, and what a relief to be able to sit down at my desk in my office at home and be able to blog on the Big Mac!  It's been a little dodgy in these parts, with electrical power and Internet access that we could not take for granted.  And when I think about the people in Colorado, I realize that our problems with Mother Nature pale in comparison.  So, here goes with today's list: Tammie White: Don't Hire a Cleaning Lady to Clean Your House on the Day of Closing In these parts, "Broom Clean" is the standard!

Referrals From Blogging Are Great!If you are still undecided if blogging actually works, I can honestly tell you that my blogging has lead to some nice referrals, and I have recently closed three transactions, which were all referrals from other Active Rain members. Two of them were listing referrals, and they were estate sales, and great handyman specials, which investors immediately made cash offers on both of them. We all love those cash offers, since they generally lead to those quick closings. Although, they were small deals, I know my sellers were very satisfied with the whole process from contract to closings, since they expressed their appreciation for services and efforts of everyone involved.  The other referral was a buyer lead, who purchased a lovely home in one of San Anton...

"SHHHHH... I am listening for airplanes" said the potential buyer. This followed me coming up from the basement showing the husband the mechanicals, where after walking around the corner, the wife is on a chair, which is on top of the home owners couch with her ear pressed to the ceiling. It is common for Buyers to analyze positives and negatives of a home. It is common for buyers to ask questions. It is common for buyers to seek professional opinions or to seek inspections. It is not common for buyers to make a Macgyver type ladder to listen for planes flying by. Living in a city with a large airport you will hear some planes. Some neighborhoods will be noisier than others if they are in the flight path. Most buyers seek this info from the airport. Many of these neighborhoods have been...

  I Love Small Town Squares There is just nothing more calming and friendly feeling than driving through a small town and looking at their town square. Usually the court house is in the center and little local businesses surround the square.  If your lucky, the town is thriving enough that stores are spilling off the square.  There is a bank, an insurance company, a lawyer, a realtor, a local café and coffee shop, and the boutique shops that women love. Perhaps a barber and beauty shop…. Post office, etc. Everything you need to never have to go any further out of town.  Granted many of these buildings are old, but they have been updated, or taken care of, and really gives the small town charm and character that we love. But I drive through towns and see town squares looking like ghost t...

Wellington FL Acreage and Land for Sale Wellington is mostly developed now but you can still find some nice property to build your house and barn on. There are two parts to Wellington- the equestrian area and the suburban area.  There are very few vacant lots left that do not have houses built on them in the suburban neighborhoods in Wellington Florida. Many of the newer neighborhoods were built by developers so there are no owner build lots in those areas. However in some of our older neighborhoods where owners built their own homes or individual custom home builders build many of the homes there are a few lots still available.  The lowest priced lot is in Sugarpond on Wisteria listed at $59,000 and it is .29 of an acre. There are only 5 vacant lots in neighborhoods for sale in Welling...

THE ENCLAVE | EAGLE HARBOR | FLEMING ISLAND FL For years, the main part of Eagle Harbor consisted of only single family homes, then in 2008, trees came down in the area past Lick Skillet and the golf course on County Road 220 and The Enclave was born. The Enclave is a Condominium community developed by Trammell Crow out of Atlanta. We could definitely see the Atlanta influence the minute we stepped into the Baldwin Model - the crown molding, architectural detail such as bay windows, high ceilings, and stylish upgrades, along with a wrap-around screened porch. I felt like I was back on Peachtree Street in my tree top apartment at Brookwood Station. The buildings have six units, with two-story condos on each end, and four "Flats" condos in the middle, two upstairs and two downstairs.Every...

Today, is the buyer’s final walk through…we are getting closer to closing. These  days it can be challenging to even get a real estate deal put together- but add in a natural disaster like the High Park Fire and well, there were moments when I thought we would never get this far. If you were traveling to Glacier View Meadows today, thankfully, you would not notice too much that is different unless you went down to the 12th filing.  The fire roared through the 12th filing faster than anyone could imagine.  The 12th filing was my second destination this morning. But first, I went up to my listing, before the buyer’s final walk-through, to open the windows and let the cool morning air in.  A little rabbit ran beside me as I drove down the tree lined road and I must have seen 20 deer happi...

Best Western Plus Yacht Harbor Inn in beautiful Dunedin Florida was a TOTAL disappointment for my daughter's wedding night! It was one of my gifts to the newlyweds..........a night on the water in a great room before they left on their Honeymoon. It was supposed to be a wonderful night in a special hotel. I was told that the room had a view of the harbor, as well as a Jacuzzi tub and a king size bed. Cost did not matter, it was my daughter's wedding night. I should have driven over and checked the room out, but I believed what I was told when I made the reservation four months in advance. I did call twice in the interim to make sure it was indeed still reserved. What I did not expect was the level of poor customer service and lies that were told to me! To begin with, the water view was ...

I am always surprised at how few real estate agents attend their weekly MLS marketing meetings.  I guesstimate that only about 2% of the MLS members show up to the sales meetings each week.  Why?  Some real estate agents have “real” jobs and can’t attend the weekday meetings.  Some don’t understand the value.  Others are too lazy, or apathetic.  Those figures are a very disappointing commentary on the professionalism of our industry. I’ve heard that 5% of licensed real estate agents are closing 95% of the real estate transactions in our market place.  Egad!  I didn’t realize that the stats were so drastic.  California had approximately 500,000 (1/2 million) real estate licensees, last time I checked the DRE records.  How many of these licensees are actually earning a profit that is equi...

     Today, I showed more homes to my buyers who wanted to bring their parents along to show them some of the homes they've already seen and view a few more homes which recently came on the market in Scottsdale and Cave Creek AZ.       We had the PLEASURE of viewing one Cave Creek home for sale which was immaculate, lights turned on, professionally staged, and met every want and need of my clients except one - the price was just slightly over their approved loan amount and down payment available.  BUT, mom and dad might be able to help with a little gift money.       About three hours later, my phone rang and it was the listing agent.  She wanted to give me the "courtesy" to let me know she was receiving 2 other offers today on this Cave Creek home for sale (house was listed yesterday.)...

The HVAC system on a house is just that - a system!  When installers are not completely thinking the sytem is much, much less efficient. The exterior wall of a house is composed of an exterior "skin," (some form of siding) to shed water and wind, an exterior sub wall (plastic wrap and something basically structural), structural framing composed of wood or metal studs (2x4s, 2x6s), insulation, sometimes a vapor retardation indoors, and drywall.  Basically that is it.  There are variances, of course. However, if the outside wall is composed of 2x4s, the space is narrow.  There is not much room for insulation!  Plumbing and duct work inside that wall must be protected! On this pre-drywall inspection, this is the only HVAC duct servicing the front room on the lower level. This is the larges...

I think most of us strive for excellence in what we do...and not just in our real estate business. We like to make a good impression, after all. It's critical in our business, as it is in any business. And it can tell others a great deal about us very quickly - good AND bad. The sentiment in this signage is pretty powerful, and worth remembering. Unfortunately, the irony is that excellence has apparently not quite become a habit at this company. It reminded me of recent signage at the new Walmart in Encinitas. The painting contractor painted YEILD not once but twice on the road out front of the new store for all to see and it made the headlines. They corrected it quickly - I went to check. We all make mistakes from time to time. It's just better to not have it publicized.

The 3.8% real estate tax to generate funds for ObamacareReal Estate Sales TaxThere are emails going around claiming that ALL real state sales will be be taxed an additional 3.8%. But is it true?The National Association of Realtors prepared this document that provides real estate scenarios and examples. Click on the picture to see the full document.Excerpt: Understand that this tax WILL NOT be imposed on all real estate transactions, a common misconception. Rather, when the legislation becomes effective in 2013, it may impose a 3.8% tax on some (but not all) income from interest, dividends, rents (less expenses) and capital gains (less capital losses). The tax will fall only on individuals with an adjusted gross income (AGI) above $200,000 and couples filing a joint return with more than $...

Marlboro, NY is a hamlet in the south-east corner of Ulster County, in the heart of New York’s fruit-growing region. Located on the Hudson River, Marlboro, NY offers spectacular views of the river and the lush hills and valleys around it. In the 2010 census, Marlboro had 3669 residents. Marlboro was established in around 1697 by English settlers, who found the land arable, and the location near the Hudson River advantageous for transportation. Soon, the docks at Milton, two miles north of Marlboro, was a shipping hub, sending corn, meat and pumpkins downstream to processors and grain mills. Apple seedling plantings were recorded as early as 1760. Grapes were also a popular fruit, and eventually covered terraced hillsides surrounding the town. Marlboro, NY today is still very much a rura...

Staging your Tropic Isle waterfront home in Delray Beach.  Waterfront homes in Florida are always a desired piece of property, but it is still important to make sure your home can compete with the rest of the market.   If you’re selling your home in Tropic Isle or anywhere else in Palm Beach County, it is not enough to place your For Sale sign in the yard and expect the water to do the rest. As in all staging, it is important that everything be clean....thoroughly!  A dirty home sends a signal to the Buyer that makes them wonder what else has been neglected! 1. Check all outdoor fixtures for rust or corrosion.  The salt air can be hard on South Florida homes.  Replace corroded fixtures and make sure they are clean.  2. Check your curb appeal.  Things seem to grow overnight in Florida an...

What Are The Buyers Going To Remember About YOUR House? If you've got your home for sale you WANT your home to be remembered by the buyers, but you want it to be for the RIGHT reasons! Buyers may only be seeing your home that day, or you might be part of a string of ten for the day.  And frankly our experience is at around ten homes it starts getting difficult for buyers to separate home A from B from C, especially if we're doing a typical subdivision safari.  Generic decorating and standard builder grade issue cabinets and flooring just tend to run together. Do you have features that make the buyers go WOW?  Really make them remember you out of those ten homes they toured?  Now WOW might be because the smells from Pretty Pungent Princess Pussycat and Malodorous Muttley assaulted the bu...

Nerdin Gardens Revisited July 2012 ~ Much to be thankful for!  We are in full swing of our growing season here in sunny southern Utah  and as some of you know, we plant over 40 varieties of fruits and vegetables.  The zucchini, crook neck squash, green beans, snow peas, peppers, artichokes and strawberries are coming on quickly now!   We have had a fair share of sweet-n-spicy radishes and turnips will be put in their place.   We have pulled more than 40 artichokes, grilling some and giving some away to family and friends.  This year Mike has planted a variety of Sunflowers who resemble sentries, standing guard over most of the crop. They are fast growing and their stalks are thick and healthy.  The tomatoes, carrots, beets, onions, garlic are starting to come on and we will have fresh v...

As Real Estate professionals we are in a "eat what you catch" kind of business. If we don't prospect, lead generate and mingle with people we will not generate any business which means no money, deniro, yen, pesos (what ever your currency may be, I'm sure you get my drift)   But as human beings we also have to set aside time to just be free of the contracts, attorneys, home inspections, appraisals, negotiations, arguing, showings, open houses, phone calls, emails etc...and a vacation is the perfect place to do all of that.   Now if you are running your Real Estate career like I am then you are planning your vacations in advance sometime in December/January so that you can properly prepare for it.
