Today July 1st 2009 is Beach & Luxury Realty's 6 year anniversary!
Where has the time gone to?It seems like yesterday,we were starting out in that small office on Madeira Beach Florida and 6 years later....we have 9 contingents throughout the state of Florida with over 200 agents.
Did I think we would be all over Florida?Yes,as I always strive to be #1 at whatever I do. I knew our concept of putting commission $$$$ in the realtors pockets, where they belonged,would catch on!
Although,when the market tanked and real estate companies were dropping like flies....we continued to grow and have been a profitable company.
Beach & Luxury Realty=Excellence in Real Estate!That is our company motto!
I always believed,you cut expenses and pay your agents and chances are they will be happy and we would do well and it has worked.We only charge a $35 monthly fee,a $250 transaction fee and $50 E&O and that is all!
The bottom line is...we wouldn't be here without our terrific associates...my broker(Cris Burlew) and I know,without them we are nothing!
No matter the market,We shall continue to grow and prosper !
To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine... And those who don't.
As Ben Franklin said: In wine there is wisdom, In beer there is freedom, In water there is bacteria.
In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated That if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. Coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting. Remember: Water = Poop, Wine = Health. Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, Than to drink water and be full of shit.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:

I wrote about this last year and it is still one of my pet peeves...so here it is again....Let's remember those who have given their lives....
Today is Memorial Day and what bugs me most about this particular day is that people do not understand what this day is actually for.
I have run into too many lately...who just don't get it!
It was not created to give you a 3 day weekend because YOU need it.It was not created,so you can run out first thing in the morning to get all your supplies for a pool party and barbecue today.
It was created to remember those who gave their lives so you can have a 3 day weekend...so you can have pool parties.
To all of our armed forces and to those who gave their lives....
