Realtors you are not allowed to Whine! - 12/17/08 01:43 PM
Whining by an Orlando area Realtor, mortgage broker, title company or anyone else about down payment assistance will not be tolerated.
I dont want to hear a whine come out of you. No ifs, ands, or buts, about it. I dont want to hear I wish they would bring these programs back or why wont these politicians listen. You had your chance and I just dont want to hear it.

There was a rally today in front of Sen. Bill Nelson's office. There were blogs, emails, phone calls getting the word out about the rally to promote the HHR 6694 … (9 comments)

Lake Mary Christmas Tree Cutting Traditions - 12/15/08 09:55 AM
Tree-Cutting Traditions

When I was a kid, I lived in Michigan on 10 acres of land. Actually all of us that lived on the street had at least 10 acres. Needless to say it was a hike just going to play with the neighbor kids. Every Christmas my dad and I had a tradition. We would trek into our woods and cut down our own Christmas trees. I remember putting on my snowsuit and boots gloves and saw in hand, that was the fun part. The part that sucked was dragging that thing home. Not only was it cheap, but … (1 comments)

Orlando Home Buyers Dont Base Your Purchase Around Your Couch - 12/13/08 09:43 AM
I specialize in working with First Time Home Buyers and have heard this line time and time again. I love the house, everything is perfect, but "I just purchased a new_____ (bed, table, couch) and it wont fit in the _________ (bedroom, dining room, living room)" You fill in the blanks, but either way you fill it in, it's still the same sad excuse.

It's Official Downtown Orlando finally gets our Movie Theater - 12/13/08 08:45 AM
Downtown Orlando residents have battled for years to bring a big screen movie theater to the downtown Orlando area. It's one of the missing key components to make Orlando a true city. We thought our dreams were realized back in 2006 when Kuhn had started building a theater in the Solaire / The Plaza building. Of course over the past year or so those dreams have been dashed continuously, until recently. The long-anticipated, 12-screen downtown movie theater will open in The Plaza on Orange Avenue in July — really!

The reason this time is different is because the city is behind … (0 comments)

Orlando is going to the dogs!!! - 12/05/08 10:09 AM
I am not a dog owner however when we have a house I will be. We have the type of dog already planned out and dvr Dogs 101 on Animal Planet. But this post came about because I am actually an avid cat person, I have always had one my whole life. I was doing some research for my mom on TNR for feral cats and sumbled upon the findings from DogFancy magazine. Go figure searching for cat stuff and dog stuff pops up. I wanted to pass this along to all the dog lovers and owners in the Orlando area.
