Lanna Thai & Sushi Restaurant in St Petersburg Florida on Park Street is not only a breathtakingly beautiful restaurant but it has fantastic food! The service was great, the staff friendly and accommodating. We stopped by for lunch and had not only soup and salad but egg rolls as well before the main course. There was so much food that there are leftovers for several days. Each and every dish was perfectly prepared and absolutely marvelous.I would recommend Lanna Thai & Sushi Restaurant in St Petersburg Florida to anyone who enjoys a delicious Thai meal! You won't be disappointed.

In 2012 I had the privilege of representing the sellers of the first LEED GOLD Certified residence in Florida. It was a truly fascinating experience. I learned so much about sustainable living, recyled products, and energy-efficient appliances and standards. And of course , I was given the opportunity to employ specific marketing techniques built to attract those buyers who would appreciate this unique home. Here  is the history: built on the site of a n existing 744-square foot home, rather then demolishing the old home and discarding its waste, the new owners  in 2008 converted it into a two-car garage for the new home. The house was completely deconstructed, and much of the remnants were recycled. The new home was built on pilings above the original home. Cool, huh?The open kitchen f...

Pinellas county, we knew it was just a matter of time. Those of us in the St. Petersburg-Clearwater area may have received a notice in our mailbox already. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is changing flood insurance rates as of April 1, 2015 that are allowable under a law passed last year - the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act (HFIAA) that changed some details of the Biggert-Waters Act. Both HFIAA and Biggert-Waters are complex documents, and it's difficult to know how much a specific homeowner's flood insurance policy could change.This is an awareness issue for Tampa Bay, particularly for Pinellas County peninsula, where so many of our home and business owners live on or near the water. It's best to be informed, and then get active. You should know how this affec...

St Petersburg Florida's Farmer's Market is moving on Saturday, March 21, 2015 to Central Avenue between 1st and 3rd Street for that ONE Saturday. The reason for the move is the St Petersburg Grand Prix on March 28th.  The Farmer's Market will be closed on March 28th due to the Grand Prix and then return to the former location on April 4th near the South Yacht Basin. All of these changes are so the City of St Petersburg Florida can host the St Petersburg Grand Prix.

FHA provides different home financing options that helps make home ownership easier for Florida home buyers. Even with limited credit, down payment and resources, the FHA program offers great flexibility in 2015.  Everyone knows that real estate around Tampa and St. Petersburg is quit expensive,  and many buyers have trouble saving the 10% + down payment required by most conventional loans.  The FHA program is widely used throughout Hillsborough and Pinellas County in 2015. With financing up to 97.5%, homeownership is suddenly obtainable  for many Florida homebuyers.    In addition to reduced down payments of only 3.5%,  FHA just reduced the FHA monthly mortgage insurance (PMI) costs in Jan 2015.  Florida buyers can now qualify for more or enjoy reduced payments on a mortgage for the sa...

At this juncture, you may find yourself wondering...is there really any way that there are MORE improvements on the docket for the St. Petersburg area? There are SO many in the works as it is, how could there possibly be room for more?? Well prepare to be amazed because just 400 steps from Beach Drive, there is another new project that goes by the name of Quattro Beach Drive. This compilation of four elegant townhome residences is being developed by J Square and is cleverly situated in the charming Historic Old Northeast neighborhood, just walking distance to the stellar Downtown St.Pete area.

Jamming at the Saturday Farmer's Market in downtown St Petersburg Florida - what better way to spend a morning? Nobody does the Farmer's Market better than the City of St Petersburg! So many great multicultural foods to try, great music, room to dance if you so desire, farm fresh produce, unique breads, cheeses, honey, soaps, sauces, candy, scarves and other wearable items - and the list goes on! It was a cold morning, we are expecting a 'high' of around 64 degrees and for our area, this is a really cold day! That is why everybody is wearing a jacket or pullover in the photo - we just aren't used to too many cold days down here! If you have never been to the Saturday Farmer's Market in downtown St Petersburg Florida, you really need to check it out! From 9 am to 2 pm on Saturdays, take ...

Let me start off by saying Happy New Year to anyone who reads this post! I hope you had a fun and safe new year's celebration with friends and family and that you are looking forward to all the opportunities 2015 has to offer. And speaking of opportunities, here's another great one popping up once again in downtown St. Petersburg, the city that just can't stop growing and improving. 2014 brought a handful of exciting announcements for the development of St. Pete's downtown, and for the time being it looks like there are no signs of stopping going into the new year. It almost seems like everywhere you turn, there's a new project on the horizon or already underway just every few months and on every major corner of the city. But you don't see us complaining, especially since all this const...

Have you been thinking lately about selling your Tampa Bay home but are hesitant to do anything about it before the spring? Believe it or not, your concerns are not uncommon. Lots of folks assume that the real estate market in the St. Pete-Clearwater area slows down in winter due largely to the holidays and all the hustle and bustle that comes with entering a new year. But you might be surprised to learn that in reality, the housing market is teaming with life this time of year! Real estate professionals like myself are busy prepping listings and buyers to jump into the market for 2015!  Redfin studied a multitude of variables year over year, like number of listings nationwide, sales prices, and time-on-market data starting in 2010 through October 2014. The results of the study revealed...
