florence alabama: New Year's Resolutions for Buyers & Sellers - 01/20/09 11:08 PM
Now that we are a couple of weeks into the New Year, how are you doing on your New Year's resolutions?  We all have probably made them and possibly have already broken some.  I usually only think of my own resolutions, but I just read this article from RISMedia that suggests a few great resolutions for buyers and sellers.  The author, Robert Jenson, CEO of The Jenson Group located in Las Vegas states: "While tricks of the trade abound to give buyers and sellers a leg up on the competition, there are also a number of basic pitfalls buyers and sellers should be sure to avoid lest they … (0 comments)

florence alabama: Yeah! It was warmer today! - 01/18/09 09:52 PM
It almost felt spring-like today in Florence, Alabama!  I know I shouldn't even be complaining about our cold temperatures here because they don't even compare to those in the North.  But it's all relative, right?  We were at 7 degrees one morning last week...brrrr!!!!  This time of year would normally average somewhere in the 30's.  For those that think it never gets cold in the South, think again :)
This picture shows what my husband called "frozen fog" on our crepe myrtle tree.  He may be pulling my leg...I've never heard of it (have you?), but I thought it looked really … (0 comments)

florence alabama: A Good Rain...and Possibly Snow! - 12/11/08 04:30 PM
After a very dry couple of years, Florence Alabama and the Shoals area has finally had a decent amount of rain!  According to the National Weather Service, Florence had almost 4.5" of rain over Tuesday and Wednesday...and it's still raining.  From what I heard on the news earlier today, that's more rain over a couple of days than we have had since the rains from Hurricane Ivan in 2004.  The creeks and rivers around the area have been pretty low, so hopefully this will help fill them up a little.  Here is a Times Daily article about the weather in Florence, AL … (0 comments)

florence alabama: Fall in Florence, Alabama - 11/12/08 12:55 PM
Fall is my favorite time of year.  The crisp air, the vivid colors, the renewed energy...I wish it would last longer!
I almost missed the leaves changing this year in Florence.  My family and I had left for a week's vacation on Oct. 31st, and nothing much had happened.  Because of the low rainfall in the Shoals this year, I thought we might not see all of the colors.   I was wrong!  We got back and in just that week's time the trees had transformed. 
If you haven't seen Florence, Alabama and the Shoals area in the fall, here is bit of the beautiful scenery … (0 comments)

florence alabama: Home Buying 101: Getting Pre-Approved - 10/28/08 09:50 PM
In years past, it has been recommended that buyers get "pre-qualified" by a lender for a mortgage loan.  This usually means that you spend a few minutes on the phone giving financial information to a lender so you can find out your maximum mortgage amount.  Getting pre-qualified is helpful because you know the price range of homes you can afford.  However, the process doesn't guarantee that your mortgage application will be accepted and unknown problems often surface after you have made an offer on a house.
If you want to be in the strongest negotiating position possible, get PRE-APPROVED!  This happens when you provide the same paperwork … (0 comments)

florence alabama: The Best Kept Secret in Alabama - Florence, AL and the Shoals! - 10/22/08 12:41 PM
It's amazing how many people are thinking about or wanting to relocate to the Florence, AL area.  Just over the past month I have talked with potential buyers from Texas, Florida, Ohio and Tennessee, and showed homes to buyers from Texas, Illinois and Delaware.  Over the past year, I have personally helped clients buy homes in the Shoals area who moved from Michigan, Tennessee and Wisconsin.  And this doesn't even count the buyers moving from within the state! 
Now this may not seem unusual for those in BIG cities, but for our smaller area, I find it really interesting that we … (3 comments)

florence alabama: Are You Ready to be Scared? - 10/17/08 03:26 PM
It's been a long time (high school days) since I have been to one of those haunted houses that pop up around this time of year.  My husband had been talking about wanting to go...so on the spur of the moment last night we decided to try one out!     
Graystone Manor in Killen, AL has been rated as one of the best and scariest haunted attractions in the South.  I have to admit...I screamed (and laughed because of my screaming) through the whole thing!  It was much better than the ones I remember from high school.  This is the Manor's second … (4 comments)

florence alabama: Collin Raye Concert in Florence, AL - 10/04/08 12:04 PM
Collin Raye was in Florence this past Thursday evening for a performance to raise funds for Brooks Elementary, a local school in Killen.  For those of you that did not see him, you missed quite a treat! 
I have to admit that I almost didn't go...it was a school night (kids had to study for tests), I had a closing late in the day (not complaining about that!), the day had been hectic, no one had eaten dinner...you know how it goes.  But my girls got some studying done and I found a little more energy, so the whole family decided … (0 comments)

florence alabama: It's Not All Gloom and Doom... - 09/24/08 11:26 AM
Guess what?  The real estate market isn't bad everywhere.  The media reminds me of my 13 & 14 yr. old daughters who tend to exaggerate with statements like "EVERYONE got a bad grade on the test" (like that's going to excuse their bad grade!) or "ALL of my friends have a cell phone" (my girls are going to have to wait a little longer). 
The media needs to take a look at some of the real estate markets that are actually doing well...like real estate in Florence, Alabama.

florence alabama: It was a great week in Florence, AL! - 09/22/08 02:19 PM
What a great week for Florence, Alabama and the Shoals area!  We had the privilege of hosting the Alabama Assoc. of Realtors 2008 convention at the Marriott Shoals Hotel & Convention Center last week, Sept. 16-19.  This was the first time that the convention had been in Florence, and to make it extra special, the new president for AAR is a local...Joe Rhodes. 
I attended several of the CEU classes and would highly recommend Dick Betts and Anne Powell.  By the end of Thurs. evening, my brain was on overload!  But after listening to them, I'm fired up and ready to put some … (0 comments)
