melbourne florida real estate news: How Did We Get Here? - 01/20/09 12:23 AM
Oh, how we have grown so dependent on all of our technological gadgets.  They're great when they work, but when they don't, often times in makes our world come to a screeching halt.
Yesterday, we celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day.  Government offices were closed and schools were not in session. My internet access worked fine in the morning...no problems.  Then, after 12:00 it went down. I had lots of things I had to get done.  In the past it has been my experience that my internet can be very slow on holidays, when everyone is home, on their computers.  But, … (12 comments)

melbourne florida real estate news: Signs, Signs, Everywhere There's Signs - 10/19/08 05:50 AM
Signs...we are inundated with messages on a regular basis.  Often on a conscious level we may not even recognize that they are around us everyday, as we have become so accustomed to seeing them, especially if we have lived in a particular area for any period of time. There are billboards, street signs and stop lights everywhere.
Daily we are bombarded with messages.
Do you know that fast food chains like to use the colors red, orange and yellow on their signs, as they stimulate appetite?  Next time you're out, check and see how many of those colors are used in … (10 comments)

melbourne florida real estate news: Those Lazy Day Afternoons - 10/19/08 04:24 AM

Today is Sunday and it’s been a very busy last couple of months.  If feel like our whole family hasn't stopped running. 
Business has been brisk, mostly first time homebuyers and out of town buyers looking for a second home. There are not too many local buyers in the market right now, as they are intertwined in the market…waiting for their South Brevard County Florida home to sell, before they can buy something else.
I feel like I wake up on Monday morning and when I lay my head down at night, it’s Friday night. 
Halloween is right around the … (4 comments)

melbourne florida real estate news: The Cheapest Gas in Town! Really? How times have changed... - 10/18/08 01:04 AM
I'm always looking for the least expensive gasoline that I can find.
Prices here in Melbourne Florida have remained consistently above the $3.50 for sometime now. And many have been very close to $4.00 a gallon. 
Over the past several weeks I have seen a gradual decline in prices. 
I know that oil prices have been dropping. I also know that we have a presidential election in less than 20 days.
This is the cheapest gasoline I have seen anywhere in our area. I saw this yesterday in South Melbourne Beach, Brevard County Florida. Interesting that it is currently cheaper on … (12 comments)

melbourne florida real estate news: I Love My Out of Town Buyers to Bring Their Camera While Out Touring the Area - 10/17/08 01:13 AM
Over the past couple of weeks, I have been working with buyers in South Melbourne Beach Florida.  I always recommend that out of town buyers bring their camera while out seeing an area for the first time.  If they are unable, then I bring mine.  They can capture the sights.  When they go back home, they can enjoy the beautiful pictures they took of the area. 
I take lots of pictures and I email them an album of pictures after they leave.
Here are more of the beautiful sights we have seen in South Melbourne Beach Florida...
