Leasing Florida Roads Is Highway Robbery - 08/17/08 07:57 AM
Florida residents are under attack by its Government and Governor, Charlie Crist. Crist is pushing proposals to lease a 78-mile stretch of I-75 known as Alligator Alley. He's considering proposals from private and even foreign companies. Currently, there is a $2.50 toll, $2.00 for SunPass users. If Crist gets his way, private leasing rights could cost travelers, most importantly, Florida residents as much as $20 to cross the South Florida roadway. We've already paid for the road and continue it's upkeep through the tolls we currently pay. Leasing Florida's roads of those in any state is simply outrageous! It will equally … (3 comments)

Drive Buy Technology - OK This Is Way Cool - 08/08/08 02:08 PM
I am always looking for better ways to run my real estate business. That includes money saving ideas (that make sense), time savers, efficient systems and ways to bring life balance. Here is one of my latest finds. Last week, I showcased a new technology while teaching at the 2008 Orlando Star Power Conference. Many of the smart people in my session have already stated they were going to sign up for the service including Star Power Stars Ed Birdsong and Buddy West. The technology is a Top Producer partnered product. Okay, here's the scoop. I place a rider on my real estate signs that … (13 comments)

Naples FL News From the Street - 08/07/08 06:50 PM
NAPLES, FL 7 Aug 08 More tough news in the media about the sagging economy led by the real estate bust. Tallahassee reported that FL real estate declined $153 Billion from this time last year. Fortunately for single family homeowners in Naples, the market hit bottom earlier this year and is a slow, but definite recovery. The Sunshine MLS, our local real estate multiple listing service, continues to indicate approximately 30-45 new pending sales every day. That's a healthy recovery. With the vast inventory, well priced properties, and historically low interest rates, wize buyers are recognizing this to be the time to buy. For … (4 comments)
