about lee county: Fort Myers Beach information: making a home larger without a permit - 08/02/09 11:24 PM
Welcome to Fort Myers Beach ingenuity! And its legal!
Living room/dining room al fresco on the island of Fort Myers Beach.
My fellow residents in Fort Myers Beach never cease to amaze me. If their home is not large enough, they will find a way to add a "room", even under their home.
This one is special because you can dine with your family or friends and look at the gulf with your feet almost on the sand. Notice: this living room/dining room is bit more formal with the cubble stones for the flooring.
Who knows? perhaps in a year … (9 comments)

about lee county: Did we hit the bottom yet? - 06/26/09 08:00 PM
The Lee County Market Report is changing. The market is seeing its first rise in average prices sold. Many Lee County real estate analysts also believe that we have hit the bottom of this free fall. Prices were up over 3% in May compare to April of 2009, If we continue to have a steady rises in average price sold in the next 90-100 days, then we will know that its not just a fluke.
If we have not yet hot bottom yet, we must be very very close! For example sales rose about 70% from over 800 sold properties in May 2008 to over … (5 comments)

about lee county: Too Busy to Blog, and Missing It - 03/09/09 07:39 PM
Of course, it's good to be busy, but I miss blogging. I like to know what is going on , not only the real estate world, but in the happenings taking place in our world in general. And, I enjoy putting in a word or two on those happenings. I enjoy sharing my thoughts.
Although Wall Street is in decline and the unemployment numbers are high, I feel optimistic about the future. I feel that the housing and banking crisis will ease and these will be valuable lessons learned. America is a strong country. It is also a survivor country.

Lately I have been working with a client who wants to purchase a newer pool home in Cape Coral. His range is mostly under $210,000 and with his wife they have been frantically searching for that great deal. The deals are here. Of course these are mostly short sales and foreclosures.

about lee county: Fort Myers Beach residents fighting over beach re-nourishment - 07/21/08 11:28 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)

about lee county: Laguna Lakes Fort Myers is the place to be - 07/19/08 01:08 AM
I am usually not so enthusiastic about a community. Granted many are great in South West Florida, but something does not click fully in your mind. It could be the price, not enough amenities, to far from the beach, the architecture is good but not great, the interiors are cramped, or the pool is to small. This one stands outs. Located in South Fort Myers, Laguna Lakes is about 6 miles from Fort Myers Beach and has so much to offer.Towhouses start at $160,000 for 1800 square feet with 3 bedrooms or 2 bedrooms and den.

It is a gated community with 146 single homes and 184 carriages homes. Its is situated only 6 miles to the Fort Myers Beach and also about 15 mn drive to Sanibel Island.
The privacy and calm of the road and area as you drive from Gladiolus is one of the reasons I always enjoy showing homes at Calusa. Amenities include a 2400 sf community center, fitness center, swimming pool, play area, tennis courts, putting green and bocce … (1 comments)

about lee county: 2 story homes: which one is just eye candy? - 07/11/08 11:06 PM
Which one is stronger and why are so many 2 story homes in Lee County so affordable?
Colonial houses in Fort Myers, Bonita Springs and Cape Coral have also been hit by the market. No surprise there. The answer is more of a question if they were build pre or post 1992 when new codes were imposed on builders.( Post Andrew ) It became law in Florida.

After that, for ex. special hurricane strapping on the rafters, stronger windows, stronger roofs were the law. The ones you saw were cheap for many reasons. … (3 comments)

WE all need to take a breather. I can walk a few minutes from my house and immerse myself in the immense and overwhelming beauty of the sea and forget the mondane or the pressure from work. There are few others places that I rather be,Walking accross San Carlos Bld I can already anticipate the beach access which open towards the Gulf Of Mexico.

One of the joys I have when I want to kick back and know more about what is going on in Fort Myers Beach is to open our local paper "The Island Sand Paper". According to The Mondo members, it is one of the most entertaining and one of the best local American Media outlet. There is nothing like it. They get the inside scoop and more.
Their ""By Islanders, For Islanders"motto is well known among regular visitors, residents or snow birds. AT the helm is maverick Editor/ Publisher Carl Conley.At times controversial and spicy, the Editor of The Island Sand Paper, is also … (1 comments)

There are many ways for a non American to get a visa. Getting an E-2 Investor Visa is one of them.You have to follow the proper requirements. Some Countries can process E-2 faster then others.

Others a few months That is pretty good. Some sellers of businesses will not mind having an addendum to the contract with the offer being contingent upon acquiring the E-2.Its a case per case scenario.

about lee county: Sand Bar issues on Laguna Shores finally resolved - 07/01/08 09:42 PM
For over a decade, Fort Myers Beach Laguna Shores property owners have been trying to fix a major problem, a sand bar. It has been more and more of a struggle for boaters to navigate from Bucanneer along the South of Estero Bayto San Carlos Pass. Only small boats could reach the Back Bay or Estero Bay and the larger boats could only navigate around that bar during high tide and at high rick of being stranded.
One of the major reasons people purchased these highly coveted properties was their access to the Gulf of Mexico. The city and the Laguna Shores owners have been butting heads … (2 comments)

Now is a good time to purchase a home or invest in a property on Fort Myers Beach, but it is the best now? No. The best time would have been way back when, in the 1970's or even the 1990's.

The gas prices need not matter greatly on Fort Myers Beach . . . . as long as you don't need to leave the Island, that is. Living on a seven mile island, a bike will do or just the legs, to get around. Then, there's always the trolley that travels thorugh the entire island all day long into the evening hours. You can rise in the morning and take that bike or walk or trolley to the Hevenly Biscuit for breakfast, to enjoy one of Heather's famous biscuit sandwiches on the patio, read the Island Sand Paper or talk with the locals that … (0 comments)
