It's no secret that many owners today find themselves in situations of having to sell their home as a "short sale". It's not an easy time for these owner.

flagler county real estate: Not All Short Sales Are The Same: Short Sale Myths - 06/26/09 11:10 AM
For anyone who has been shopping for Real Estate over the last year or two or if you are just beginning to shop, you would be hard pressed not to come across the term "Short Sale" on a least a few properties.

Despite an excess of recent rain, Kemper Sports stated that they are "are still aiming for a target opening date in the Fall" in a letter to the Friends of Golf dated 5/18/09. While driving past the course it is noticeable all of the work that is being done, the progress, and the challenges faced to restore the course.
