Dive in the Sky...

I am getting a listing in Ocean Six in Daytona Beach Shores. I have been dreaming of a listing in this building for quite some time. We sold several condo units in this building, but we represented buyers, and I thought it would have been nice to take listing in a building, where we live.

We were sending Sold postcards, attend all social functions, people know us and we know people so we knew it was coming, and it came. It is fun time preparing for this listing. Something that you know pretty well, something that we can show at any time on a short notice.

I am going over the photos for this listings and this photo of our outdoor pool caught my attention. It is very dramatic. It is because of the dramatic sky reflecting in the pool. I thought it was cool and this photo is in the Listing Photo collection.

It is a nice 60’-long pool. It is not heated simply because we also have an indoor 50’-long pool in our condo. Just need to use it more. :)

But seems like it is always that we neglect using what we have… and dream of what we don’t have.

Jon- Amazing!  I had to look twice to see just what was what.  I would say that I hope you have many more listings there but I don't know if you'll want to keep getting new neighbors!

William Feela - if for me living there is any indication, then this place is cool. I like it here, and do not have any plans to ever move... but yet do not want to say never :)

Thank you

Gayle Rich-Boxman Fishhawk Lake Realtor (503)755-2905 - unfortunately, I am missing a lot of opportunities simply because my Canon 5D Mark II and the lenses is quite heavy, so I do not take it with me often.

This photo, I beleive, was taken with I-phone, but IPhone does not do very well in low light situations, and this is when you have a lot of opportunities...

I just bought an iphone, my first. No idea how to operate it and since I don't have cell service where I live and work mostly, the opportunities are somewhat curtailed. Good to know that it shoots this well in low light, thanks!

Gayle Rich-Boxman Fishhawk Lake Realtor (503)755-2905 - so for misleading you. I reread my comment and noticed that I missed the word NOT, thus changing the meaning. No, IPhones are not very good for low light situations. You can partially circumvent it if you use HDR. Look at this photo taken with IPhone yesterday. Look how grainy the sky is. I would have been very different photo with my Canon, crisp, clean... Full moon

Dick Greenberg - for someone, who normally does not take listings, each listing is very special. It is because I get them from either my previous clients, or it comes from their referrals, and the beauty of them is that I do not compete for them. I come, we talk, I do not promise stars in the skies, and they know that I would usually do more than some other agents.

Patricia Kennedy - actually, this is as raw, as it only could be. I grabbed the Iphone and took this photo, and I wanted to cry as I knew that by the time I run for my big camera, it would be gone. But I did not enhance it, not a bit...

Thank you

That is a really great picture - like a pool full of clouds.  It sounds like you are also an owner in this development.  Congrats on the listing close to home.
