FLORIDA KEYS SHORT SALES WHAT ARE THEY REALLY SELLING FOR - 01/21/09 01:01 PM
I get calls all the time from folks wanting to know what the short sales are selling for.

In most cases, not all, the listing agent will come up with an aggressive price to get an offer on the home quickly. Often, this

I am having a lot of fun editing my photos with Picnik.com Quality photographs that will capture someones attention are critical to your blog posts,web sites, MLS and on-line advertising. I had some tired old photos on a vacation rental site that I wanted to refurbish without the time spent to go out and re-shoot the pictures so I put them into my picnik basket and...... This was turned into...... A Fresh New View.. This photo of the lobby was too dark and dreary and did not do the place justice....

FLORIDA KEYS ROUGH WATERS, HIGH WINDS...WHAT TO DO INSTEAD OF FISHING!!! - 01/18/09 10:39 PM
Florida Keys boaters are cautioned by a small-craft advisory to stay off the water until Saturday.....What to do Instead!!!! National Weather Service forecasters in Key West are also warning that windy conditions will prevail until Sunday, prompting notices to boaters that Keys waters will become very rough and could be dangerous to smaller vessels. A "massive" arctic region of high pressure over the Great Plains will build southward over the next few days. That will generate strong winds over Keys waters beginning Thursday night, according to the current NWS marine forecast. A small-craft advisory will be in effect on all Keys

So what if the lender wants SOME of their money back on a SHORT SALE???? - 01/18/09 05:55 PM
Call me old fashioned but I think a promise is a promise and your word should be your bond. So, when I sign to pledge to pay a mortgage I am agreeing to pay that money back. I am not agreeing that I will pay the money back only if my income stays the same, the value of the home does not decrease or I want out. About 10 years ago I had a young couple who had bought in a bad area and the value slipped a little. They wanted to move after owning for about a

Florida Keys temps to plummet into the 50's Friday night!!!! - 01/15/09 09:21 PM
Artic high pressure to push Florida Keys temperatures down to the 50’s Friday night. The cold snap that has many in the North clamoring for a place in the Florida Keys is predicted to push temps down into the 50’s Friday night. This is great news for the local economy as many frozen northerners will likely make their way south to the sunny Florida Keys to find relief. In fact, at Coco Plum Realtors, we had several calls today from folks saying they were fed up with the snow and cold and seeking out good deals on the

LONG LOST TAX REFUND, MISSING HEIR? SEE IF YOU ARE OWED MONEY.... - 01/13/09 08:18 PM
Shirley Parks wrote a great post about how she found money for herself and her family through a Texas website. And, being one to love free money I decided to check this out for the states I live in Maryland and Florida. It appears every state has this database which could include money from a last pay check never received, an insurance claim unpaid, real estate tax refund etc. It s a fun site and it's a little like prospecting for gold, you never know what you might find. And hey, we can all use some extra money right? So,

MOTOVATIONAL MONDAYS: SEMPER FIDELIS - 01/12/09 09:32 PM
The United States Marine Corps adopted the motto Semper Fidelis in 1883. Sometimes shortened to Semper Fi, translated it means “always faithful” “What is left unsaid in the motto is also notable. The phrase is "Always faithful." It isn't "Sometimes Faithful." Nor is it " Usually Faithful," but always.” I confess I am not Semper Fi when it comes to my faith. I fall short. I judge instead of extending grace. I don’t give when it is in my power to do so. I don’t love my neighbor as myself. One of
