I joined Twitter a couple of months ago, and I am already maxed out on following @ 2001 but catching up with followers ~1500.   However, of those 2000 people I follow, only 4 of them get sent to directly to my phone as text messages.  infocentralnar, FAR, PRO (a local Board) & @Alyssa_Milano.  Been a fan like many since she was america's sweetheart, and I like to keep up on her humanitarian work as well as her Career.  At 12:40 pm EST, she ReTweeted a link from someone that had the breaking news article.  That is also how the MJ death unfolded, … (0 comments)

Realtor in Hudson, Florida appalled with Banks & REO's - 06/27/09 04:31 PM
While I respect the fact that we are in a profession that requires careful due diligence, I also accept the fact that in a market slowdown companies have to lay off people as their operations downsize.   But I am baffled by all the, dare I say it, incompetence and lack of professionalism, as well as ability, of the people who are supposed to be your point of contact at a specific bank.  I am not painting the entire industry as such, but a lot of the times a Short Sale or REO is more complicated and time consuming than it has … (0 comments)

Pasco County Waterfront Market Report from a Hudson, FL Real Estate Agent - 06/25/09 01:53 PM
In May 08 only 15 houses on the water with gulf access sold.
this year we were up to 18 homes, with 32 currently under contract
With inventory levels at 268 homes available, that equals 15 months inventory.
Tough time if you are upside down, especially with the crushing and seemingly ever increasing wind/flood insurance.   I have heard many people opting to drop parts of their coverage if not all.  While I do not condone nor support or advise these actions, when one finds themselves between a rock and a hard place, you make some tough decisions. 
If the house is … (0 comments)

Has The Naples Florida Real Estate Market Stabilized? - 06/20/09 02:24 PM
I sure hope so, my broker always says we are a few months behind Naples
Thanks for a great Post Shannon. 
Sincerely appreciated and I re-blogged it for more to see

Via Shannon Lefevre Naples, Florida CRS (John R. Wood REALTORS Inc.):
When one of Florida's top economists stated that Naples had bounced last fall, I distinctly remembered thinking...oh really...how the heck do you know.  I was hesitant to be overly skeptical due to the fact that I was in complete disbelief when chirps about the Naples Florida market bouncing a few years ago came without even a hint … (2 comments)

Successful first day of training the New Sales Team in Hudson, Florida - 06/14/09 01:36 PM
So my new venture is up and running online, glitch free.  took months to figure out the crawlers from The Search Engines was conflicting with some Java-script, causing the site to crash, and crash often.  But it has been smooth sailing now for a few months.  our Beta Testers/Load Testers showed it was stable,   But after a year + in development, tweaking all along the way, it has been hard to stay up beat because of negative feedback from people Not in the Know.  All the negative sentiment of trying to launch a business in a faltering economy, eventually it starts … (0 comments)

Any creative ways to Sell this Condo? - 06/14/09 01:21 PM
The rules recently changed and one needs 30% down to buy a condo.   Now if you have $15k are you really looking at $50k condo's?  As nice as this unit is, I think only a cash buyeer wwould be interested.  Any suggestions????  Sellers rode it all the way down as the market collapsed and just want to get rid of the overhead costs.  They know they are going to lose money

Hudson, FL Foreclosure report - 06/13/09 02:52 PM
WOW
Despite 117 SFR currently on the market offered in some stage in Foreclosre, for the entire month of may only 3 actually closed

I thought alot more short sales and the like were taking place, but i guess they are falling apart before reaching … (0 comments)

Hudson, Florida May market update - 06/13/09 12:40 PM
Currently in Hudson teh worst property there is to sell is a Condo, I am afraid to say
While there are only 83 Condo's currently for sale, there are 0 under contract, and only 2 sold in May, down from 5 in April.  That means there is almost 3 1/2 years  inventory on the market 8-(
Now in a close second place would be the Mobile Home market in Hudson.  While there are only 66 mobile homes for sale currently, in May only 3 sold, down from 5 in April.   And there are only 5 units under contract presently.  That equates to 22 Months, … (2 comments)

Hard Sell or Soft Sell in Hudson, Florida Real Estate - 06/12/09 03:50 PM
So which is  appropriate for a REALTOR®? 
As a Stock Broker trained on Wall St., specifically 90 Broad St, I was groomed in the buy or die philosophy of the hard sell.  You keep closing the prospect until they open an account and buy stock, or hang up the phone.   this is the tried and true Straightline Pitch taught in every brokerage house/Investment Bank in the High net worth individuals division.  And as you can tell Brokers make fortunes despite the fact that the High net worth Individual that is targeted knows the script as well as, if not better than, … (0 comments)

W. Pasco Florida Housing Update - 06/10/09 12:08 PM
Closed deals on SFR fell again to 269 for the month of mayand there are 2794 homes currently on the market
That is ~10 months inventory which is another decrease in inventory. And that is a good thing, but i fear it is only temporary as the Presidents policies have had banks holding back on foreclosures, and we may see a surge before the  year is up
