Do You Reevaluate What You Do – or Do You Do The Same Old Thing? - 04/30/08 04:00 PM
Recently read an article by Jeremy Conway in Orlando Realtor Magazine entitled, “Are you ready to deal with frugal?”(pg. 13)  Personally, I think I lead a somewhat ‘frugal life.’  I generally don’t have an issue spending money, but don’t believe in throwing it away as well.  On the other hand, I occasionally go through my house and donate things that I haven’t used in a while instead of just collecting more stuff.  And that’s an interesting thing, because all it is – is just stuff!
 This got me to thinking.  For some frugality would be a deprivation of sorts; to others … (16 comments)

Pet Friendly Orlando and Central Florida - 04/28/08 03:33 PM
Recently, I was called by a free-lance writer in regard to a story that she was writing for the Orlando Sentinel about pet-friendly communities in Orlando and decided to do some further research to assist her.  It appears that AAA (American Automobile Association) and Dogfriendly.com, which came out with its 2007 List of the Top 10 Dog-Friendly Vacation Spots in North America, Orlando ranks #8 in both surveys.  Since Orlando is the first Florida city on both surveys, one can deduce that Orlando is then the #1 Pet Friendly city in Florida. 
 One may not have assumed that the Greater … (11 comments)

Orlando, Step Up To The Plate - It’s Time To Buy Your Next Home!!! - 04/23/08 04:13 PM
Yes, Orlando, it is time to get off of the fence and purchase a home.  Let me qualify that.  That is if it is within your means to do so financially.  The previous mentality that we’ve seen has hopefully stopped, but unfortunately, once things get better, people tend to forget.  Sad but true! 
There have been several articles over the past week and half that I’ve read that have shown once again how Florida and especially Orlando have bucked the national trend in real estate. 
According to NAR (the National Association of Realtors®), not only did the number of … (8 comments)

Realtors® put their pants on… - 04/17/08 05:42 PM
…just like everyone else, one leg at a time! 
There is definitely a perception and an assumption about realtors® in our society.  But then we do that with a lot of professions (lawyers, doctors, et al).  There are realtors®, in some eyes, that are elevated to some top levels and there are others that are denigrated to the lowest rungs on the totem pole, so to speak. 
There is the perception that what we do is a simple task and that we make way too much money.  But, of course, it is not known by most what it costs … (39 comments)
