It's been a long time and you probably don't remember me but I would like to share some valuable information about ActiveRain to the community.
Back in 2008 I had the opportunity to meet Bob Stewart and vowed that I would blog to gain contacts, leads, friendships and opportunities. You could say, I threw it out the window, just like so many I tried it but I got really busy. So busy blogging was the first thing to go.
Something big happened in Daytona Beach, the short sale and REO real estate market. I became a very active part of the … (8 comments)

ian anderson: Finally, Some Good News About The Real Estate Market - 07/12/07 02:18 PM
I just read an article put out by the Florida Association of Realtors. Finally some good press about the real estate market. Can the local news do a story with some positives about the market to give the people the confidence they need to start buying again? I have found so many good buys out in our market and people are hesitant to buy. "Buyers now have an overwhelming advantage given the wide selection of homes available in many markets," says Lawrence Yun, NAR senior economist.
Here are some highlights from the article about our improving real estate market:

I just got this email from a local realtor offering a 2008 BMW 535i for the selling agent on his listing in Ocean Hammock listed for $1,350,000. I am all over that!

Dear Fellow Realtor:
What a way to start the second half of 2007. See the attached flyer for this beautiful Arthur Rutenberg home in Ocean Hammock, at Palm Coast, Florida. This home is priced $150,000 below … (13 comments)
