Realtor.com using Google Pay Per Click???

Michael Valdes (Keller Williams Realty) — Mon, 19 May 2008 11:31:45 -0500

I chuckled when I happened to be searching Google and saw a pay per click advertisement for Realtor.com! I have always wondered if their claims on being the number one website for real estate where true. They state that they get so many millions of hits every month, but if you think about it, how many Realtors across the US are forced to login on a daily basis to Realtor.com to enhance or edit their listings. I'm sure they are counting us as traffic! I carry normally 10 - 15 listings on average and I can tell you that since January 1st of this year, I have only received 50 clicks to my website coming directly from Realtor.com. That averages out to about 1 click per listing per month at the very most! I wish we were able to see the true amount of traffic that Realtor.com receives so that when their sales staff calls and asks us to pay for the astronomical prices on enhanced items such as "Featured Homes" or "Featured Neighborhoods", we could say prove your worth... back up your claims and show me the true amount of traffic I will receive!

THE TAMPA BAY REAL ESTATE MARKET UPDATE - IS THE BOTTOM HERE???

Michael Valdes (Keller Williams Realty) — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 14:57:22 -0600

Two economists are broadcasting some great news for the Tampa Bay area. In recent seminars, economist Dr. Hank Fishkind is stating that the bottom has been reached in some parts of Tampa Bay and is near bottom in the remainder. Economist Dr. Ted Jones is stating that Tampa Bay has reached the bottom and is already experiencing recovery in our area. Florida was the first to experience the decline and is leading the way to recovery. Tampa Bay is leading Florida in home sales, so does that make us one of the first recovering markets in the state???

FORBES MAGAZINE NAMES TAMPA FLORIDA THE TOP US CITY FOR RETIREES

Michael Valdes (Keller Williams Realty) — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 15:26:45 -0600

The availability of early tee times, warm weather and lots of sunshine will always help make a city attractive to retirees. But as baby boomers begin to enter a more active and longer retirement than their parents, early signs suggest that they're looking for more. To determine the best places for retirees, Forbes.com compared 100 of the largest U.S. metropolitan areas along traditional criteria, including leisure activities and the availability of health care . But Forbes also looked at new factors, like the retirement job market and came up with a surprising list of winners. The top U.S. city for retirees is Tampa, Florida!! The city's tax burdens and cost of living are relatively low, and health care costs and access are very favorable. Tampa's arts and leisure rank is in the top third of cities measured keeping retirees active with plenty to do. Read More...

Did Your Florida Real Estate Property Taxes go Down?

Michael Valdes (Keller Williams Realty) — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 09:24:38 -0500

Florida Real Estate Tax News Upate... Your Florida real estate property taxes most likely went down. Florida residents will soon receive their "truth in millage" statements that give property owners information on next year's property taxes. But this year, almost 94 percent of Florida state homeowners will see some savings thanks to a new law passed during July's special session of the Florida Legislature. Counties in which property taxes rose the most over the past few years will see the greatest reduction of 9 percent. TRIM (truth in millage) notices can be detailed and hard to decipher, however. To calculate your personal savings, compare two columns: "Your Property Taxes Last Year" tells you how much you currently pay; "Your Taxes if PROPOSED Budget Change is Made" tells you how much the city or county plans to charge next year. Just subtract the former from the latter.
