legends realty: Near-miss on the roads of Orlando - 10/27/12 08:35 AM
Near-miss on the roads of Orlando
Near-miss on the roads of Orlando Many have viewed my posts in my Pedestrian Tales From the Middle of the Road series- which at last count had tallied 38 needless pedestrian deaths. I've surely never expected to hit anyone- though there have surely been times when I've swerved to avoid a wayward pedestrian (or even a family of them). This photo from my trip to work yesterday morning gives a bit of a look into how things go around here. It's my hope that this post serves 2 purposes: an informational/awareness one that all … (0 comments)

Got dead people?  My contact list did
OK, I'm doing it.  At the risk of exposing myself as a poor cyber housekeeper (but all in the interest of the public good,of course), I'm admitting today that my contact list had a couple of dead folks on it.
I guess it shouldn't be all that surprising- but I'd just never thought about it before and never stumbled across one of the deceased still listed amongst the ranks of the healthy.
It is good that I caught things before I emailed … (4 comments)

legends realty: When Realtors Attack... - 08/31/12 01:30 AM
A great post there from The Christiansens.  Might not be titled correctly, though- as in this case the Realtor was being attacked.  Mr. Angry Unprofessional Clown Posing as a Realtor was doing the attacking.
For the most part, I handle these in the same manner.  Make no mistake about it- I'll Stand My Ground when necessary, but foolishness like this has no place in our business.
It goes back to an old saying, though:  you get more of what you tolerate.  If we in our profession that still value the very words "profession" and "professional" continue to oblige and/or capitulate to … (4 comments)

I don't know if it's a pitiful trend sweeping the nation- or if we're just lucky to have some affected folks down here- but I'm speaking to folks every day that have what has to be Tired Mouth and Tongue Disease (TMTD). Once upon a time, folks spoke in things called sentences and used- get this: whole words.
Not these TMTD folks, though. "Yes, I'd like to look at the house on Maryland Av" Huh??? Did the phone cut out? Ohhhhh.. you meant the … (4 comments)

News flash:  "Rent vs. Buy" favors "rent" this time

Rent vs Buy favors rent for now

It's been a long time since "rent versus buy" argument favored the "rent" side of life- but that's the news from here in Orlando these days.  And I hope it's a sign of a rising tide that's going to lift a lot of ships.

Why the shift?  It boils down to a simple payment gap between the costs of renting and those of buying, same as it always has.  With our sales inventory here running at about 2/3 of … (2 comments)

Orlando home prices improve for 13th straight month

http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-08-15/business/os-orlando-home-sales-20120815_1_home-prices-normal-sales-short-sales
 
A good article here.  In dealing with sales versus property management/leasing, some things are different and some things the same.  One place where you can always find common (albeit frustrating) ground lies in the arena of unrealistic expectations.  Buyers want to pay as little as possible, sellers want to get as much as possible.  Renters want to pay as little as possible, homeowners want to get as much as possible- and both scenarios share the fact that neither side really cares what the other side wants.

Soooooo….When I … (2 comments)

legends realty: I wanna believe in Zillow...and Global Warming...and the Easter Bunny - 08/09/12 09:37 AM

I wanna believe in Zillow...and Global Warming...and the Easter Bunny O.K. We know The Easter Bunny is real- I mean, could any Earthly rabbit lay eggs? Case closed. Global Warming? Alright, you got me on that one- I really don't have any interest in believing in the ol' Global Warming hoax. When the days arrive where we find 110 degrees in Arizona and Antarctica, I'll consider it. But until then...nope.
Which leaves me with Zillow, creator of the Zestimate and virtually all things Z.

Sex offenders welcome?  Not here.
No sex offenders here
I wanted to make sure folks were clear about where I stood on this.  I want both tenant prospects and owner prospects alike to know that I won't rent to a sex offender- period.
There are a number of things that are flexible when processing an application- whether an owner will accept a pet depends on the specific pet, whether a prospect would pay a security deposit equal to one month's rent or two depends on the specific prospect's credit history, etc. … (11 comments)

When no signs is a good sign

When no signs is a good sign
We hear a lot of phrases with regard to "signs". "....looking for a sign", "I've seen the signs" and "I see no sign of..." being but a few. We're always looking for signs- but when is it good not to find any signs?
We'll bounce from the literary world to the literal one now. I'll predict with a bit of confidence that anyone trying to exit a driveway near the stretch of signs above would welcome a day without "signs".

One of the duties I've taken very seriously this year is my place on our Orlando Regional Realtors Association (ORRA)'s Candidate Screening Committee.  A number of folks joined me in looking to do our best to vet candidates seeking election to local school boards- as well as those seeking seats on city and county commissions, state and U.S. congressional offices and the office of Orange County Sheriff.

What do you do with a drunken prospect?
Not necessarily this drunk- but how about one that's just a little liquored-up...or slightly intoxicated?
I was speaking with another agent this morning, and she was telling me about one of the showings she'd had over the weekend.  "Folks showed up on time"..."seemed to like the place"..."the guy reeked of alcohol..."
What?  "The guy reeked of alcohol?"
O.K., then...why did the showing continue?  What should the agent have done?  What could she have done?

Homeless man leases home- twice!

Yes, it's come to this in Scammerland: A homeless guy that looks like he just stumbled off the beach has managed to swindle a couple of young tenant prospects. No longer safe in trashing our broken-English Nigerian (or "classic") scam emails, folks now have a new scammer type to be wary of- the surfer dude homeless guy scammer.. What's the world come to?

Yet another call for pool/water safety
Here we go again... This is a tough report here- as the tragic death of an innocent 11-year-old that was just trying to play some mini-golf follows.
From the outside looking in, I feel a duty to inform in instances whenever and wherever I can.  If the early reports are true, this was surely a preventable death resulting from someone's negligence.
As the story indicates, GFI breakers are required for residential pools and hot tubs as well- this isn't a commercial or theme park issue alone. That said, it's my hope … (2 comments)
