BEWARE Rental Scams On the Rise - 08/28/09 06:20 PM
This scam is REAL.  It's happened to me with a couple of my former rental listings that already have tenants.  Please do not refer to Craigslist and other real estate websites for rental homes.  Call a licensed Tampa Realtor - most will not charge you any fees to help you find a home.

Annual Light the Night Walk for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - 08/21/09 02:59 PM
Today, a non-real estate blog post.  It's that time of year again. The Light The Night Walk is The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's evening walk and fundraising event. It is the nation's night to pay tribute and bring hope to thousands of people battling blood cancers and to commemorate loved ones lost.

Mesa, Arizona - The Buy and Bail Scheme Is Still Alive And Well!!! - 08/05/09 08:11 AM
In reading this blog, I have to agree!  There are a lot of people out there that think they can do this, and I have a few words for you - if everyone could do this, wouldn't they?  You are part of the problem, not the solution!
