- 08/25/08 06:43 AM
With all the stress we all go through in our business, we all need to get away from the daily grind. Work can be exciting. These days, I have been showing a lot of homes in Cape Coral and Fort Myers and my clients are easy going and fun to work with, but taking a little break can be revitalizing. As I have not been invited to participate in Dancing with the Stars this year, I have settled for photography as my outlet of choice. Just wondering along the streets of Fort Myers Beach.

For these investors and buyers in general making an offer in Lee County, Cape Coral, Fort Myers and The Beach on a short sale can be complex. Your Realtor, when pre-viewing and gathering information for these listings may be well advised to ask a few questions to the listing agent: When willthe lender respond to the offer?

about fort myers beach: Why Florida frame homes are easier on the wallet
- 07/29/08 04:42 PM
The fight is on. Which is best? Concrete CBS or frame homes? Of course I am talking about the best possible Florida frame home and these would be with a concrete slab and pilings. The more expensive ones may even have concrete exterior walls and partition walls up to the 2 floor and then the traditional floor joists and high tech beams or even steel beams.
Many of my clients looking for homes in Fort Myers and Lee County in general prefer CBS homes. They think they are stronger against winds, less risk of attracting termites, are less maintenance and … (4 comments)
about fort myers beach: The odd History of Fort Myers Beach and Utopian Loony Dr Cyrus Teed
- 07/26/08 03:02 PM
The history of Fort Myers Beach history cannot be separated from the influence of the Koreshan Unity, a rather odd religious group which was started by a Dr Cyrus Teed. On one side very prolific and successful and on the other self serving and highly eccentric.. He first settled in Fort Myers Beach with his family in 1893 after purchasing large acreages on the main land and in Fort Myers Beach, specially around now famed Mound key, which was build by the Calusa Indians some 4000 years before.

about fort myers beach: Fort Myers Beach residents fighting over beach re-nourishment
- 07/21/08 04:28 PM
Fort Myers Beach councilmen are going through another delicate issue: should the beach be re nourished? Should they use the opportunity to get a $10 million dollars fund from the government to help re nourish the beach? The citizens are divided and they have to make a decision before 2010.Otherwise they loose these funds.
Beach frontage owners are concerned, and you cannot blame them.If the island goes along the Federal funding, they will have to follow their rules.That may mean that many owners may loose some land, that is, the town will then own any re-nourished part of the beach … (4 comments)
