century 21: Zephyrhills' Flea Market Closed for Summer of 2014. To reopen in Fall!
- 04/19/14 10:35 AM
My dad has informed me that the Patriot Flea Market just south of Zephyrhills, Florida is no longer open and is taking a break for the 2014 summer. That makes sense since so many of our residents have returned to their northern homes and the weather here is really heating up. Perhaps a little too hot to be wandering around under our intense summer sun here in Forida. Dad believes that the flea market will re-open in the November of 2014. I will try to let you know when it is once again operating.

century 21: John Elwell Designated "Master Ruby" Winner for 2013 by CENTURY 21
- 03/07/14 09:20 AM
Last week I was notified by CENTURY 21 that in 2013 I had achieved the "Master Ruby Award" level for sales production last year.
In 2013 I was also consistently in the Top 100 agents in northern and central Florida based on the number of sales sides that I had. Not bad considering that there are about 4,000 CENTURY 21 agents serving that area in various brokerages.
One reason I am successful is my broad use of the internet. Unlike many agents, I do not rely on just the few websites that all listings are automatically placed on. Instead, I have purchased … (0 comments)
