After A Five Year Drought, I'm Back In The RainLife just gets busy. We go from blogging once or twice a day down to a couple of times per week. Then it trickles to one a week. Before long the season changes and the blog count remains the same. Then four years...Just like most folks, life got busy. As a one man band, frankly I was too busy to write. As long as the deals were flowing, why commit the time to write quality posts? Fast forward past Covid and into today. I have moved markets (Hit me up with your Destin Florida buyers and sellers) and am proud to say I am no longer a one man band. These days find me at RE/MAX Coastal Properties on the Destin Harbor. After six years and PLENTY of excuses, we moved to the Emerald Coast last month. At some point in life you either purse your drea...

Your reputation is at risk with every blog post.  You're being watched and first impressions formed.Even if you don't have any comments on a post, you're being watched, just check your stats if you need proof.Some people lurk, some engage, either way, people are out there and what you post matters.If you're in an established community such as ActiveRain, you may establish your reputation over time.  Be it good or bad, people have thoughts about you based on your comments, your posts, and how you interact with other members.Reputations can be heavily influenced from the very first contact, that first blog post.  If I'm scrolling the blog roll and the first post I see from you is a rant against your state's governor, followed by posts about crypto and other things that have nothing to do ...

 To buyers, sellers, and Realtors alike: interest rates aren’t just numbers. They're the heartbeat of the real estate market. When rates are low, it’s like a clearance sale for homebuyers. Your dream home? More affordable than ever. Monthly mortgage? Dramatically reduced. The result? A surge of buyers rushing to capitalize. But what about sellers? Lower rates mean more buyers and, often, higher home prices. It's prime time to list and maximize returns. And when rates rise? Fewer buyers, but those who shop are serious contenders, often leading to quicker sales. For Realtors, understanding this dynamic is crucial. It dictates market temperature, guides pricing strategies, and indicates buyer sentiment. By mastering the art of interest rate interpretation, you're not just a Realtor but a m...

My dad grew up in the South. Near Meridian Mississippi. Because of him, even though I grew up in San Diego, when I get tired or sick, I speak with a Southern accent. My grandma would cook me rabbit for lunch (which she killed that morning) and serve it with sweet tea. I learned that RC Cola and a Moon Pie is an acceptable meal. And y’all is a term you hear from people that care about you.

I ran across this, accidentally, while cruising through some 'reels' on Facebook.For those of you youngsters, it's an oldie, but a goodie... a Jackson Browne song from the golden ages of the 70's... Experience the magic of collaboration as Playing For Change brings together the legendary Jackson Browne, with some of the greatest musicians from around the world for a stunning rendition of his classic, "Doctor My Eyes.” This Song Around The World reunites members of “The Section”— Leland Sklar and Russ Kunkel, who played on the original 1972 song.  I found it fascinating, I think you might, too.This reimagining blends the amazing musical stylings of Zakir Hussain, Giovanni Hidalgo, Char and 11 amazing musicians from around the globe, along with a special introduction of the extraordinaril...

In any market, it doesn't matter what the economy not even who the president is people will buy and people will sell just a fact. Pensacola, Pace, and Gulf Breeze a hot markets because of low inventory. If you remember the housing crash back in 2008, you may recall just how popular adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) were back then.

I agree with Philemon, now is the time to spend as much time outdoors as possible. Since our last equinox we have lost hours of daylight and the temps have dropped about 20 degrees from the highs and the lows of the day. I woke up this morning to about 36 degrees... way to close to freezing for me.If you are new to the Northern climate and a new home owner as well there are steps you need to take immediate action on.  I would suggest starting out by visiting with a local expert (not YouTude) at Home Depot as to what are typical weatherization measures to take before our harsh winter strikes.Steps I typically take are:1) Mow your lawn fairly short but don't scalp it. Leaves blow over the lawn with the short grass. They are going to fall... do you want to rake all the leaves in the neighb...

Here is what happens when there is teamwork and vision.  It starts with the owners of Kar-Ess Properties, Karen and Esther, a cute play on their names.  They saw a home's potential in a wonderful location in great need of TLC. Note: Anyone around me for a while knows that Tender Loving  Care TLC also has a different meaning when describing specific properties.  In addition to passion, vision, talent, hard work, and expertise, there must be " Tons Liquid Cash!" It's not an exaggeration; cost is a huge factor.  What needs to be done to wake up a tired house has many stages. Bathroom before We put in an as-is offer, a 2-week settlement with the right to inspect.  The roof and a dry basement are two biggies anyone buying must evaluate.  A contractor "checked" these two areas and gave us a g...
